"According to President Trump, the 68th Grammy Awards on Sunday were "virtually unwatchable." Still, he watched enough to take issue with comedian Trevor Noah's latest turn as the ceremony's host. Trump, in a Sunday night post to his social media platform, said he intends to sue the comedian and former "Daily Show" host as he ragged on the "garbage" music ceremony, which aired live on CBS."
"After Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas took home song of the year (with a blunt remark directed at federal immigration enforcement agents), Noah joked "that is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland.""
""Which makes sense, I mean, because Epstein's island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out on with Bill Clinton," Noah added."
"Epstein, who died behind bars in 2019, owned an island in the U.S. Virgin Islands and was at the time of his death awaiting trial on federal charges of trafficking underage girls. In 2008, Epstein had pleaded guilty to state charges in Florida of solicitation of prostitution and of solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18. He served less than 13 months of an 18-month sentence in county jail and registered as a sex offender."
President Trump says he intends to sue comedian Trevor Noah over a Grammy Awards joke linking Trump and former President Bill Clinton to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump called the 68th Grammy Awards "virtually unwatchable" and described the ceremony as "garbage" in a social media post. A representative for Noah did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Noah's jokes came after Billie Eilish and Finneas won song of the year and followed a Justice Department release of more than 3 million pages of investigative files on Epstein. Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting federal trafficking charges and had previously pleaded guilty in 2008.
