Donald Trump threatened to sue Trevor Noah after the comedian made a joke at the Grammy Awards on Sunday about Trump's connection to Jeffrey Epstein. The joke referenced Trump's desire for Greenland and alluded to Epstein's island. Trump responded on Truth Social, denying he ever visited Epstein's island and calling Noah a "talentless dope." He stated he would instruct his lawyers to sue Noah for defamation. The incident occurred amidst a backdrop of anti-Trump sentiment at the Grammys, with several artists wearing anti-ICE pins and speaking out against Trump's immigration policies. The Epstein files, which include details of parties at Epstein’s private Caribbean island in which children were sexually abused, have been released, and both Trump and Clinton were named in the files.
