Trump vows to sue ‘dope’ Trevor Noah over Grammys joke linking him to Epstein island
Trump warns Trevor Noah to ‘get his facts straight’ after 2026 Grammys monologue linked the president to the disgraced Jeffrey Epstein
US President Donald Trump threatened legal action on Monday against the host of the 68th Grammy Awards over the comedian’s comment on the US president and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
After congratulating Billie Eilish for winning the Grammy for Song of the Year for her track “Wildflower”, host Trevor Noah brought up Trump and Epstein.
“Wow. That’s a Grammy that every artist wants – almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” he quipped, referring to the president’s threats to seize the autonomous Arctic territory.
Noah then added: “Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton.”
Noah, who announced that this will be his final year hosting the Grammys after six turns as emcee, has been light on political commentary in previous years.
