That&#8217;s a Grammy that every artist wants &#8212; almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,&#8221; he quipped, referring to the president&#8217;s threats to seize the autonomous Arctic territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noah then added: &#8220;Which makes sense because, since Epstein&#8217;s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noah, who announced that this will be his final year hosting the Grammys after six turns as emcee, has been light on political commentary in previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His comments drew the ire of the president, who took to his Truth Social platform first saying that the &#8220;Grammy Awards are the WORST and virtually unwatchable,&#8221; before criticizing Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight\u2019s false and defamatory, statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media,&#8221; Trump asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Republican then branded South African Noah a &#8220;total loser&#8221; who needs to &#8220;get his facts straight.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C. &#8230; Get ready Noah, I&#8217;m going to have some fun with you!&#8221; Trump added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump, who moved in the same social circles as Epstein in Florida and New York, has fought for months to prevent the release of a vast trove of documents about the disgraced financier and has given varying accounts of why he eventually fell out with Epstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than three million documents were released on Friday that included mention of numerous powerful figures, including the 79-year-old president, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton and former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. <a href=\"https:\/\/japantoday.com\/category\/world\/trump-threatens-legal-action-against-grammy-host-over-epstein-comment\">(JapanToday)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump threatened legal action on Monday against the host of the 68th Grammy Awards over the comedian&#8217;s comment on the U.S. president and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
