Donald Trump says he wants “the people” to attend his presidential inauguration, dismissing the “so-called ‘A’ list celebrities” who he claims are seeking tickets to the Jan. 20 event.
On Twitter late Thursday, Trump is slamming the celebrities who supported the campaign of his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, saying, “look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING.”
The tweet doesn’t name any specific celebrities.
Actress and model Chrissy Teigen responded to his tweet, saying “You are our president too. I don’t want you to be, but u are. Also we ALL know you are dying without the approval, dear.”
Trump’s transition team has so far named just a few entertainers who will be performing during his inaugural events. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Radio City Rockettes announced Thursday that they will be participating.
The so-called “A” list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING. I want the PEOPLE!

On Friday morning, Teigen added that she was referring to husband John Legend regarding the “A list” remark.
Would just like to add no, i do not think I am a-list. Was referring to John, as I am not a performer of music. https://t.co/D96an7ZdTn
