Trump’s son, UN envoy condemn Clinton, others’ jokes about President
President Donald Trump
A Grammys skit poking fun at US President Donald Trump sparked a backlash on Twitter from Trump ’ s eldest son and the ambassador to the United Nations .
In light - hearted political commentary during the music industry ’ s biggest award night Sunday, host James Corden introduced a video of famous names reciting from the controversial book , “Fire and Fury : Inside The Trump White House. ”
Published early this month and written by Michael Wolff, the instant bestseller paints Trump as disengaged, ill- informed and unstable .
The Grammy video shows musicians John Legend , Cher, Snoop Dogg , Cardi B , and DJ Khaled reading short excerpts from the book , and sometimes interjecting their own comments .
“I definitely wasn ’ t there , ” Snoop Dogg said after reading a passage about Trump ’ s inauguration .
Cardi B quoted a line referring to Trump in bed with a cheeseburger .
“I can’ t believe this, ” she said .
Trump has called it a “Fake Book , written by a totally discredited author . ”
The Grammy video ends with Hillary Clinton , the Democratic challenger who lost to Trump in the bitter 2016 election , quoting the book as saying Trump liked to eat at McDonald ’ s .
“The Grammy’ s in the bag, ” Clinton quips about her performance , which prompted Trump ’ s son , Donald Trump Jr , to respond on Twitter : “Getting to read a book excerpt at the Grammy’ s seems like a great consolation prize for losing the presidency . ”
He added that the more Clinton appears on TV , “the more the American people realise how awesome it is to have in office . ”
Trump ’ s UN ambassador , Nikki Haley , left Clinton alone but said the musicians had struck a sour note .
“I have always loved the Grammy’ s , but to have artists read the Fire and Fury book killed it, ” she said on Twitter .
“Don ’ t ruin great music with trash . Some of us love music without the politics thrown in it. ” ( AFP )
