CRYPTO ARENA, LOS ANGELES: Grammy Awards host Trevor Noah took a sharp jab at Donald Trump while referencing the latest release of documents tied to the Epstein files just days earlier.
Noah referenced public outrage over Trump’s nationwide deportation operations during the 68th Annual Grammy Awards. Referencing Greenland, the host connected the joke to the Epstein files and said, “Epstein’s island is gone.” However, Trump has not publicly commented on Noah’s statement yet.
For those unaware, the Department of Justice (DOJ) released additional Epstein files.
Trevor Noah slams Trump at the Grammys
Trevor Noah created several buzzworthy moments while hosting the Grammys. He opened the ceremony with a monologue that included a pointed joke aimed at President Donald Trump and Nicki Minaj.
After Billie Eilish’s win, Noah again referenced Trump with comments tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
"Well there you have it, Song of the Year. Congratulations, Billie Eilish! Wow! That is a Grammy that every artist wants. Almost as much as Trump wants Greenland," he added.
"Which makes sense. I mean, because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton," he continued. "So, oh I told you it’s my last year! What are you going to do about it? Thanks. And what an amazing night it’s been."
