JAY-Z REPLIES TO TRUMP ON VAN JONES

Jay-Z really is the man of the hour. In addition to being feted at Clive Davis’ lavish pre-Grammy party, Mr. Carter, who was the guest on the debut installment of Van Jones’ CNN show, got into it with the President of the United States.

During a forthright conversation in which Jay criticized Donald Trump’s past statements about “shithole countries” and more, Trump tweeted the following:

"Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!"

Jones had, in fact, already asked Jay earlier in the show, to which the artist/entrepreneur replied, "Money doesn't equate to happiness," he said. "You treat people like human beings — that's the main point."

We’ll leave it to others to determine who sounds more presidential.
