South African comedian Trevor Noah told a joke as he hosted the Grammy awards on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The former Daily Show host said the song of the year award was \u201ca Grammy that every artist wants \u2013 almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein\u2019s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton\u201d.<\/p>\n
At least one person watching was not amused: the president of the United States.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump hit back on his Truth social platform, calling Noah a \u201cpoor, pathetic, talentless dope of an MC\u201d, and adding that he would instruct lawyers who will be \u201csuing him for plenty$\u201d.<\/p>\n
Both presidents\u2019 names appear multiple times in tranches of papers known as the Epstein files<\/a>, which include details of parties<\/a> at Epstein\u2019s private Caribbean island in which children were sexually abused. Trump and Clinton were both former friends of Epstein but have always denied wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein\u2019s sexual abuse.<\/p>\n Trump threatens to sue Trevor Noah over Epstein joke at Grammys<\/p>\n Grammys host Trevor Noah<\/a> has been threatened with legal action by Donald Trump<\/a> for a joke during Sunday\u2019s awards ceremony<\/a> about the president\u2019s connection to the disgraced late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n The sentiment at the music awards appeared firmly<\/a> against<\/a> Trump and his administration.
