Chirssy Teigen is a master of the Twitter clapback, with many of her retorts achieving viral status.
The beloved model, author and TV host will always make time to deservedly sass prominent figures on social media, as she recently did with Donald Trump.
The president is a frequent target for Teigen's incisive digs and Trump ultimately responded by blocking her after she tweeted: "lol no one likes you."
She could not care less about being blocked by the president. It was only a matter of time.
After 9 years of hating Donald J Trump, telling him "lol no one likes you" was the straw https://t.co/MhZ6bXT1Dp— christine teigen (@christine teigen)1500987667.0
But that does not mean 45 can silence her out of existence.
On Sunday, Trump went off on another rant about the press – a favorite recurring topic – after the latest airing of Saturday Night Live, which opened with a parody of It's a Wonderful Life, called, "It's a Wonderful Trump."
The black and white sketch depicted an alternate reality in a world without Trump as our leader and closed with a line delivered by Kellyanne Conway, played by Kate McKinnon, observing that:
"Every time a bell rings, someone you know quits or goes to jail."
Miffed over SNL's lampooning, Trump gave his two cents without much sense at all.
"A REAL scandal is the one sided coverage, hour by hour, of networks like NBC & Democrat spin machines like Saturday Night Live," he tweeted.
He added:
"It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials. Should be tested in courts, can't be legal? Only defame & belittle! Collusion?"

Teigen needed only three words to destroy him.

Twitter chastised the president for his confusion about the sketch comedy show being an authentic news program.
@chrissyteigen does he think saturday night live is the news????— laura lux (@laura lux)1544974866.0
@DarthLux @chrissyteigen I think that he thinks that anything that appears on TV is news— werewolf bar mitzvah (@werewolf bar mitzvah)1544974936.0
@realDonaldTrump You do know that SNL is NOT a news show, right? It's a comedy show. You've gotta learn to laugh at… https://t.co/CdSUCW6N0F— Ravyne Hawke (@Ravyne Hawke)1545064631.0
One user encouraged the circus act at the White House continue for its sheer entertainment value.
@Ravyne @realDonaldTrump Let him keep going. He’s losing it, and SNL is just ramping it up. He’ll need a straight jacket soon!— julia a murphy (@julia a murphy)1545071169.0
Others gave SNL more cred than one conservative news program on network TV.

Let's not forget the brilliance of Teigen's retort.
@chrissyteigen 🎶You’ve been struck by!....a career criminal!🎶— Chris Conte (@Chris Conte)1544974513.0
Teigen's clapback came days after the The New York Times reported on Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years in jail for campaign finance violations and paying hush money to women alleging to have had an affair with the 2016 presidential candidate.
"It's been a long time coming," Teigen told PEOPLE in a July 26, 2017 interview, responding to Trump blocking her on Twitter.
"I have been very anti-Trump since The Apprentice, like when it first started, so it didn't start during the presidency like everyone thinks. This goes pretty deep."
"And I don't even follow him so I'm definitely fine being blocked. There's just this part of me that's so happy that he had to actually do that. It's just funny."
Chrissy Teigen, keep doing what you do. We're here for all of it!
