The model took to her Instagram to emphasize that "Trump is NOT our king - and on June 14th, it's up to us to prove it." She criticized his plan to throw himself a $45 million birthday party, likening it to "a big military parade like some of his authoritarian idols have done."

Teigen also called BS on the White House's information that the parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Army coincidentally falls on the same day as Trump's birthday.

"Rubbish. Trump wants a big military parade on his birthday and is using the anniversary as a pretext. How ironic that the Continental Congress originally established an Army, headed by George Washington, to fight against the very tyranny that Trump espouses," Teigen asks further.

She continued that the president is acting like a king by "defying the courts, issuing arbitrary decrees, disregarding checks and balances."

Earlier today, TMZ shared that California Governor Gavin Newsom recently criticized President Donald Trump during an interview amid ongoing protests in Los Angeles. 

He accused Trump of being a "bald-faced liar" and claimed that the president is seeking to incite a civil war with his immigration policies. Newsom made these remarks while addressing the violent demonstrations sparked by ICE raids targeting undocumented immigrants. 

During the interview with Fox 11 L.A., Newsom expressed his frustration, labeling Trump a "STONE COLD LIAR" and declaring that Trump's actions are putting lives at risk by federalizing the National Guard without justification.

He also denied Trump's claim that he warned Newsom about calling in California's National Guard if the protests escalated, calling those comments "totally and completely untrue."

While acknowledging the chaos, including acts of vandalism and arson during the protests, Newsom condemned the violence unleashed during the protests. He called for the arrest of those responsible and emphasized the need for calm and safety in the streets.

The governor also insisted that Trump should rescind his order to help de-escalate the situation. In a separate MSNBC interview, Newsom also challenged Trump's Border Czar, Tom Homan, to arrest him.

Last year, at the Cannes Lions, before the election, The Blast shared that Teigen and her husband, John Legend, participated in a live recording of the podcast "On with Kara Swisher."

Teigen reflected on her past criticisms of Trump and expressed concern about the potential for backlash if he were to regain the presidency. 

She noted that her previous tweets, particularly her notable comments slamming Trump from 2019, could resurface and attract unwanted attention from the "unhinged" politician.

Legend echoed his partner's apprehensions, emphasizing the importance of considering personal safety and the impact of Trump's potential return to power. Despite their concerns, both Teigen and Legend remain committed to their political engagement.

They plan to continue voicing their opinions, regardless of the backlash they may face. Legend expressed his determination to support President Biden at the time, acknowledging that his political stance might alienate some fans of his show, "The Voice." 

Nevertheless, he affirmed his authenticity, stating that he stands by his beliefs. Teigen echoed this sentiment, reiterating that ultimately, being true to oneself is more important than worrying about public opinion or brand associations.
