Donald Trump has threatened to sue Trevor Noah, the host of the 68th Grammy Awards, over a joke he made linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. The incident occurred during the Grammy Awards ceremony on Sunday, where Noah quipped about Trump's past interest in purchasing Greenland as a potential replacement for Epstein's island.
