‘Poor, pathetic, talentless, dope’: Trump threatens to sue Grammys host over Epstein joke

US President Donald Trump is threatening to sue Grammys host Trevor Noah over a joke he made at the award show.

Mr Noah joked that artists wanted to win ‘Song of the Year’ “almost as much as Trump wants Greenland”.

“Which makes sense because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton,” he said.

The US President took to Truth Social to slam the comedian: “Noah said, incorrectly about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. Wrong!

“I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the fake news media. Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast.

“It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an MC, and suing him for plenty$.”
