Donald Trump is going to take legal action against Trevor Noah due to a joke that linked the president with Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, where allegations of sex trafficking were made. During his sixth and final hosting of the 2026 Grammy Awards on February 1, the 41-year-old comedian remarked about the Song of the Year award.
Stating, “That is a Grammy that every artist desires almost as much as Trump desires Greenland, which is logical since Epstein’s island is no longer available, and he requires a new location to socialize with Bill Clinton.”
Clinton, aged 79, was featured in several photographs released from files made public by the Department of Justice, including one depicting the former president relaxing in a hot tub and swimming in a pool with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Clinton has not been charged with any wrongdoing concerning Epstein and has consistently denied any awareness of Epstein’s illegal activities.
Trump Threatens To Sue Trevor Noah
Trevor Noah, who hosted the Grammys, has received a warning of possible legal action from Donald Trump after a joke he made during Sunday’s awards ceremony that alluded to the president’s connections with the disgraced late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The mood at the music awards appeared to be strongly against Trump and his administration. A number of artists displayed anti-ICE pins, and several winners spoke out against Trump’s anti-immigrant attitudes in Minnesota and other locations.
Trump’s response to Noah’s Grammys joke
President Donald Trump responded to Trevor Noah’s joke made during the Grammy Awards on Sunday night. He then said, “The Grammy Awards are the absolute worst, nearly impossible to watch! “CBS is fortunate to no longer have this garbage polluting their environment. The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he is, is nearly as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards.”
Trump further stated, “Noah has wrongly claimed that I, Donald Trump, and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!! Although I cannot represent Bill’s views, I have never visited Epstein Island, nor have I ever been in proximity to it. Until the unfounded and slanderous claim made tonight, I have not faced any accusations regarding my presence there, not even from the Fake News Media. He ended his message with, “Prepare yourself, Noah, I intend to enjoy this! President DJT”
What did Trevor Noah express about Trump at the Grammy Awards?
On Sunday night, Trevor Noah made a jest about President Donald Trump after announcing the winner of the song of the year, as reported by Newsweek, which highlighted his comments during the event. Noah said:
“There you have it, song of the year! Congratulations, Billie Eilish. Wow. “That is a Grammy Awards that every artist want, just about as much as Trump wants Greenland,” Noah commented. “This is logical since, with Epstein no longer present, he requires a new island to spend time with Bill Clinton. I warned you, this is my final year! What will you do in response?”
Who is Jeffrey Epstein?
Jeffrey Epstein was a financier recognised for his associations with billionaires, celebrities, and politicians, such as President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton. In 2005, Epstein was initially accused of sexually abusing underage girls.
However, he negotiated a confidential agreement with the U.S. attorney in Florida to evade federal charges, which permitted him to plead guilty in 2008 to a comparatively minor state-level prostitution offence. Epstein spent 13 months in a jail work-release program.
Epstein Files
In 2019, federal prosecutors in Manhattan reopened the case and charged Epstein with sex trafficking, claiming he had sexually abused numerous girls. He took his own life in jail a month after his arrest. Ghislaine Maxwell, who was Epstein’s long-time confidante and former girlfriend, is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in recruiting some of his underage victims.
A few weeks later, the Epstein files were made public on December 19 after Trump enacted legislation requiring the Justice Department to disclose all information it possessed regarding Epstein.
