Tibrina Hobson—Getty Images by [Jessie Van Amburg](https://time.com/author/jessie-van-amburg/) ## Jessie Van Amburg Jun 16, 2016 3:03 PM UTC Chrissy Teigen is not one to mince words, especially when it comes to presidential candidate Donald Trump. The model and author celebrated [Trump’s 70th birthday](http://www.bustle.com/articles/167091-chrissy-teigen-just-shut-down-donald-trump-in-just-three-words) in her own way this week. She posted a picture of the presumptive Republican nominee on her Instagram page with an inflammatory caption: “Happy Birthday, you monumental a—hole.” She also took to Twitter with her message, urging him to delete his account: > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/742896308055220229) When a Trump supporter suggested that she should “leave the country” if she hated the candidate so much, Teigen replied that she’d rather stay and continue “hating him.” This isn’t the first time that Teigen has sparred with Trump’s followers. After lashing out at the candidate in November regarding an announcement about a meeting with religious leaders, Trump retweeted a follower who said Teigen was “trashy” compared to Melania Trump. Teigen replied: > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/671359097334333440) Teigen defended her continued criticism of the candidate in a later tweet: > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/743319407816937481) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4371421/chrissy-teigen-donald-trump-birthday/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4371421/chrissy-teigen-donald-trump-birthday/"},"headline":"Chrissy Teigen Slammed Donald Trump In 5 Words","datePublished":"2016-06-16T15:03:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:02:44.598Z","description":"That’s one interesting birthday message","url":"https://time.com/4371421/chrissy-teigen-donald-trump-birthday/","keywords":["motto","News"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt958fc1fef8be3c58/69889824fb4eac161588df0c/chrissy-teigen-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jessie Van Amburg","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/jessie-van-amburg/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt958fc1fef8be3c58/69889824fb4eac161588df0c/chrissy-teigen-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"FYC Event - Spike's \"Lip Sync Battle\" - Arrivals","caption":"Chrissy Teigen attends the FYC event for Spike's 'Lip Sync Battle' in North Hollywood on June 14, 2016.","creditText":"Tibrina Hobson—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4371421/chrissy-teigen-donald-trump-birthday/","name":"Chrissy Teigen Slammed Donald Trump In 5 Words"}}]}] ```
