US President Donald Trump took to his Truth social platform, calling South African comedian Trevor Noah a "poor, pathetic, talentless dope of an MC" after the host made a joke about Trump's connection to Jeffrey Epstein during Sunday's Grammy Awards ceremony. Trump also threatened to sue Noah for the comment, claiming he will instruct lawyers who will be "suing him for plenty$".
In reference to his past friendship with Epstein and Trump's denial of wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein's abuse, Noah jokingly said that a Grammy that every artist wants – almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. The joke was seen as an attempt at satire, drawing criticism from Trump.
The incident comes amid growing tensions between the US administration and artists who are wearing anti-ICE pins to various events. Several winners called out Trump's anti-immigrant sentiment in Minnesota and elsewhere during the Grammys ceremony.
Additionally, a US disaster response firm submitted a plan to White House officials that would guarantee 300% profits and a seven-year monopoly over a new trucking and logistics plan for Donald Trump's board of peace in Gaza, according to a November proposal obtained by the Guardian.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol fell apart in court. Immediately after the incident, DHS said the targets were "vicious" gang members connected to a prior shooting and alleged they had "attempted to run over" officers with their vehicle. However, key parts of the federal government's narrative have since fallen apart.
On another note, Iran's top diplomat has said the government is ready for negotiations with the US on a nuclear deal as the two countries reportedly prepared to send top envoys to Istanbul for high-stakes talks on the Iranian nuclear programme later this week.

Trump's tantrums never get old... I mean, come on man, if you can't take a joke, that's not Trevor Noah's problem 
. And now he's threatening to sue him over it? That's rich 
. The guy's got nothing but time on his hands and he's still trying to bully people into silence.
. I mean, who doesn't love Greenland as a gift? It's like, Trump wants us to think he's doing something nice for us, but really it's just him being Trump 
.
I'm all for people speaking out against injustice, and if that means wearing a pin or two, so be it. It's about time someone stood up to Trump's nonsense.
. Those guys were shot by border patrol because they were trying to cross the border, not because of some made-up gang affiliation. It's time for the government to come clean and stop spreading propaganda.
. The Iran nuclear deal talks sound like a step in the right direction 
. Let's hope those diplomats can get something done without any drama 
.
Give me a break. It's just comedy, folks! Can't we all just relax and have a good laugh?
. And don't even get me started on the whole anti-ICE pin thing... shouldn't we be focusing on real issues instead of clashing over silly politics?
it's so wild how trump's connection to epstein just won't die and i'm kinda rooting for trevor noah to keep roasting him lol anyway what's up with these anti-ice pins at the grammys? are they really a thing now? 
i mean i get it, trump's been making some pretty unpopular moves but do artists have to wear pins that scream "i hate america"? also can we talk about this trucking and logistics plan for gaza 
is there even an american company that's crazy enough to take on a project like that?
i was watching the grammys and i'm like totally team trevor noah lol he just roasted trump on live tv and now trump is threatening to sue him? 
️ anyway back to trevor noah... he made that joke about trump wanting greenland and honestly i can kinda relate to him 
So, Trevor Noah thinks he can take down Trump with a quick jab about Epstein... and, honestly, that's not even a strong shot 
.
. Can't say I'm surprised, though. This government's track record on truth-telling is about as strong as Trump's ego 
.
. Fingers crossed that these diplomats actually know what they're talking about... unlike some people who shall remain nameless 
i mean come on, a joke about epstein?? that's not even funny anymore, that's just sad 
especially since it's true what he did, so why can't we talk about it without someone being all salty like trump? 
but honestly i think we should be focusing on the real issues like immigration reform and climate change 
not just trump's drama
