[Chrissy Teigen](http://time.com/4845205/chrissy-teigen-raps-childrens-book-to-daughter/) has been a vocal critic of [President Donald Trump](http://time.com/4869574/donald-trump-new-york-times-baghdadi/) far longer than he has been POTUS, with some of her earliest tweets trolling him dating back to 2011\. However, the model revealed Tuesday that it wasn’t until she tweeted the words, “lol no one likes you,” at Trump on Sunday that he finally decided to block her on Twitter.

“After 9 years of hating Donald J. Trump, telling him ‘lol no one likes you’ was the straw,” she captioned a screenshot showing off her new blocked status.

Teigen has also spoken about her longtime dislike for the current POTUS in recent interviews. “I’ve actually been a big Donald Trump hater for a long time. If you go back, I’ve been trolling him for about five to seven years now. I’ve been doing this forever and I take pride in that,” she told [USA Today](https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2017/02/05/chrissy-teigen-donald-trump-twitter/97525444/) in February. “I can’t believe somebody could actually do this all day, every day, and still be president. It’s insane. I think he’s the f—ing most vile person on this planet and if I mysteriously go missing in the next four years then that’s what happened.”

## Transcript

Secretary Tom Price is also here. Today Dr. Price still lives [ UNKNOWN ] helping to keep millions of Americans strong and healthy as our Secretary of Health and Human Services and he's doing a great job. And hopefully, he's going to get the votes tomorrow to start our path Toward killing this horrible thing known as Obama Care that's really hurting us. [ APPLAUSE ] By the way, you're gonna get the votes? They better get them, they better get them. I bet, otherwise I'll say Tom, you're fired. I'll get somebody. [ APPLAUSE ] [ SOUND ] The scouts believe in putting America first. [ APPLAUSE ] You know I go to Washington and I see all these politicians, and I see the swamp And it's not a good place.

In fact today I said we ought to change it from the word swamp to the word cess pool or perhaps to the word sewer, but it's not good. Boys scout values are American values, and great boys scouts become great, great, Americans. As the Scout Law says, a scout is trustworthy, loyal. We could use some more loyalty I will tell you that.
