President Donald Trump has criticised musician John Legend for not playing a role in passing criminal justice reform following a TV special on the subject in which the star appeared.
Mr Trump also said he has not got enough credit for signing a law instituting some reforms.
Imagine being president of a whole country and spending your Sunday night hate-watching MSNBC hoping somebody–ANYBODY–will praise you. Melania, please praise this man. He needs you.

The law reduced mandatory minimum sentences, among other measures.
In a series of tweets late Sunday and early Monday, Mr Trump called Legend “boring”.
Trump also said Legend’s wife model Chrissy Teigen as “filthy mouthed”.
When all of the people pushing so hard for Criminal Justice Reform were unable to come even close to getting it done, they came to me as a group and asked for my help. I got it done with a group of Senators & others who would never have gone for it. Obama couldn’t come close….

….A man named @VanJones68, and many others, were profusely grateful (at that time!). I SIGNED IT INTO LAW, no one else did, & Republicans deserve much credit. But now that it is passed, people that had virtually nothing to do with it are taking the praise. Guys like boring…..

Legend responded by saying Trump is hungry for praise and asked Trump’s wife Melania to step in.
Teigen wrote she did not appear on the special and used crude language to describe Mr Trump.
