Trump Criticizes 2026 Grammy Awards, Threatens CBS Over Epstein Remarks
Former President Donald Trump has escalated his criticism of the 2026 Grammy Awards, targeting host Trevor Noah and the CBS network after Noah made a controversial remark during the event.
Noah stated that Trump and former President Bill Clinton "had spent time on Epstein's island," prompting Trump to label the ceremony as "the worst" and "unwatchable."
Trump expressed that CBS was fortunate not to have continued airing "this kind of garbage," firmly denying any association with the island and asserting that he has "never visited, nor even approached" it. He claimed that no media outlet, including those he refers to as "fake news," has ever accused him of such a connection.
He described Noah's comments as "a blatant lie," warning of potential "swift and costly" legal action.
This incident reflects the long-standing contentious relationship between Trump and major media outlets, particularly those with liberal leanings, characterized by ongoing mutual accusations during his previous presidency. Trump's recent remarks appear to be a continuation of this ongoing conflict.
The mention of "Epstein's island" reignites a sensitive issue that has long stirred controversy in the United States, given its associations with prominent political and economic figures.
Trump has also threatened CBS with possible legal repercussions for broadcasting "false statements," amid a backdrop of increasing media polarization since his return to the political arena.
