AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Donald Trump threatened to sue comedian Trevor Noah after a joke made at the Grammy Awards. Noah, who hosted the event, alluded to Trump wanting Greenland as a replacement for Jeffrey Epstein's island, implying a connection between Trump and Bill Clinton to the island. Trump denied the claim on Truth Social, stating he has never been to Epstein's island and has never been accused of being there. He called Noah a "loser" and threatened legal action over the "false and defamatory statement." Trump has previously engaged in legal battles with media organizations, including a recent lawsuit against the BBC. Epstein, who was convicted of sex trafficking, owned a private island where multiple survivors allege abuse.
