Happy birthday, Mr. President.
For his 72nd birthday on Thursday, social media star
Chrissy Teigen and her husband
John Legend spent a whole lot of cash on a gift
Donald Trump won’t like — nor one that he can return.
The pithy model, who was famously blocked on Twitter by the president for constantly trolling him and his policies, marked the “auspicious occasion” by becoming a Freedom Fighter.
The family announced its hefty donation to the American Civil Liberties Union to hold the Trump administration “accountable whenever possible,” particularly on the hot-button issue of migrant children and the administration’s “zero tolerance” policy.
“John and I are outraged to see and hear the horror stories of immigrant families seeking asylum and refuge in America being ripped apart due to the inhumane policies of the Trump administration,” the model wrote in a note posted on Instagram.

Teigen also urged others to make donations, and several of her followers, including “Jane the Virgin” star Gina Rodriguez and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” actress Chelsea Peretti, showed their support in comments on Twitter and Instagram.
The note also garnered likes from Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski.

Teigen also shut down critics of her Thursday donation in another tweet, replying to a message that “she could have fed a lot of hungry kids in America” with that money.
“I do that too!’ she wrote. “Please refer to @cityharvest.
