President Trump may have had the misfortune of being one of the few people taking in the Grammy Awards last night, and frankly, he didn't like what he saw. He posted his thoughts in a late-night screed on Truth Social. "The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable!" he wrote.
"CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any
longer." The only thing one might quibble with in that assessment is the word "virtually." The Grammy Awards, like any vanity project for the entertainment elite, are flat-out always unwatchable. Unbearable even. The President then took aim at host Trevor Noah, the failed former host of the "Daily Show," over what he described as a "defamatory" joke at his expense involving Jeffrey Epstein. In fact, he strongly hinted that Noah could expect a George "Slopadopolus"-level lawsuit on the horizon. "The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards," Trump said. "I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media," he continued, referencing the host's joke. "Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast." "It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus and others how that all worked out. Also, ask CBS!" added Trump. "Get ready, Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!

Trump's threats against defamation do not typically ring hollow. And he has a track record of winning. ABC News and Slopadopolus were forced to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by the President the previous December after the "This Week" co-host falsely accused him of rape. The network agreed to pay $15 million in damages and apologized. He won a $16 million payout from CBS for their deceptive interview with Kamala Harris. He recently filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC for deceptively editing his remarks on January 6th. He's not one to be trifled with. What did Noah do that set him off? Lumped him into the same category as former President Bill Clinton when it comes to Epstein's island. Following the announcement that Billie Eilish had won for Song of the Year, Noah joked, “That’s a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland." “Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton," he added. "I told you, it’s my last year! What are you going to do about it?” Aside from the fact that Noah is desperately trying to copy an actual comedian in Ricky Gervais with the shtick, it looks like the President has already decided exactly what he's going to do about it. Trev, buddy, Gervais already did the 'it's my last year' routine and nailed it. Meaning much of your career has been spent trying to be a carbon copy of more accomplished comedians like him and Jon Stewart. Noah recently raised the ire of conservatives over a stand-up bit in which he joked about what he found to be humorous about the Charlie Kirk assassination. "I'm sure there's something funny about it. The guy was shot while defending guns. I'm not even writing that as a joke, as a human, you have to admit that is an incongruous, funny thing that happens," he said. Desperately seeking attention by playing Barney Rubble to Stewart's Fred Flintstone, driving the "Daily Show" ratings into the toilet, then not having enough material to come up with anything original as host of the Grammys, all while setting yourself up for a career-ending lawsuit—Now that's funny. |
