Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have proven once again why they’re the best couple of all time.
The dynamic duo have given Donald Trump (and the world) the birthday gift that keeps on giving – a sizable donation to a worthy cause that works against the Trump administrations controversial new migrant policy.
Teigen took to Twitter to announce the very special present for the 72-year-old President, declaring they had donated $US288,000 to ACLU.

In her post, Teigen explained that in order to make Trump’s birthday “great again”, each member of her family donated $US72,000.
She then encouraged her followers to think about possibly donating $7.20 or even $72 in honour of the very special day.
Best of all? Her cheeky strategy is totally working.
Happy BDAY @realDonaldTrump!!! ??♀️ I’ve made a contribution to the ACLU to help them continue fighting for all the children being separated from their parents at the border! Donate, sign petitions & share!#aclu #immigrationreform #immigration #EndFamilySeparation pic.twitter.com/FeZs0gfjLo

The philanthropic and totally Teigen-istic move has encouraged a number of other high-profile celebrities who have since donated more funds to ACLU.
The gift that keeps on giving. Brb, headed to @ACLU. Great idea, @chrissyteigen https://t.co/RjXT2iF2WX

MATCH MY DONATION – The way our country treats children and immigrants is shameful. I will match ten thousand dollars in donations to the @aclu to help them fight Trump’s nightmarish immigration policies. Post your receipt #aclujuddmatch. https://t.co/KHmPtmE5mi

Never heard of ACLU before? They’re an important US organisation that works to stop the separation of migrant children from their parents at the border between Mexico and The United States.
ACLU are clearly more than happy with Teigen’s efforts, so let’s just hope this is an annual tradition becomes one that continues for years and years to come.
Thank you for supporting our work!
If you agree with @chrissyteigen and @johnlegend that #FamiliesBelongTogether, send Trump a clear message on his birthday: https://t.co/lVv8BJ5F8c https://t.co/gleGFYxIn5
