The music awards ceremony was “garbage” and “practically unwatchable,” Trump wrote on his online mouthpiece Truth Social. Trump described South African comedian Trevor Noah, who hosted the gala for the sixth and final time, as a “total loser” who had no talent.

Noah made fun of Trump at the award ceremony and exposed the US President with his punchlines. Meanwhile, stars like Bad Bunny and Billie Eilish expressed themselves more seriously and clearly criticized the US President’s controversial migration policy.
Trump even threatened moderator Noah with a lawsuit. At the gala, the 41-year-old joked that Trump wanted Greenland because Jeffrey Epstein’s private island was no longer available. “He needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton.”
But he was never on Epstein’s private island, Trump wrote. That’s why he’s now going to sue Noah.
“Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you.”
In recent weeks, Trump has repeatedly threatened to annex the Arctic island of Greenland, which belongs to the Danish kingdom.
Multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein ran an abuse ring for years that victimized dozens of young women and minors. In 2019, Epstein died in prison at the age of 66, before any further sentencing could have taken place. The financier had an island in the Caribbean – and excellent contacts in high society, including former US President Clinton and Trump.
