Trump threatens to sue Trevor Noah over Epstein joke at Grammy Awards
Global News
Noah brought up Trump several times during the Grammys, at one point saying, 'Wow. That's a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland.'
U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to sue Grammys host Trevor Noah after he said the host made “false and defamatory” remarks about Trump’s relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
After congratulating Billie Eilish for winning song of the year, Noah, 41, brought up Trump, 79, and Epstein, saying, “Wow. That’s a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland.”
“Which makes sense because since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton,” Noah added.
After the reaction to the joke during the show, which included some uncomfortable “ohs” and murmurs from the crowd, Noah said, “Oh, I told you, it’s my last year. What are you going to do about it?”
After the Grammys aired, Trump reacted to Noah’s comments on Truth Social, writing in a lengthy diatribe, “The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable! CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer.”
“The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards. Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!!”
Trump said he “can’t speak for Bill” but claimed that he has “never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media.”
“Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus, and others, how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you,” Trump wrote.
