President Donald Trump has threatened to sue Grammy Awards host Trevor Noah, claiming the comedian defamed him with an Epstein island joke made during the broadcast, as per BroBible. This is a truly bizarre reaction to a joke, especially considering the truly staggering number of times the president is actually mentioned in the newly released documents.
The joke in question took place during the 68th annual Grammy Awards. The comedian podcaster, who previously hosted a major late-night show, was serving as the master of ceremonies for the event. The exchange was clearly a reference to the millions of pages of Epstein documents that were released last week, where President Trump’s name appears more than 1,000 times. During the show, after announcing a winner, Noah decided to take a shot at both the current president and former President Bill Clinton.
“There you have it, song of the year! Congratulations, Billie Eilish. Wow,” Noah said. “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. I told you, it’s my last year! What are you going to do about it?”
The host referenced the numerous crimes that took place on Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous island
President Trump was clearly watching the awards show because he launched a furious response on his social media website around 1 in the morning. This move is being characterized by many as the president’s latest attack on free speech. While he continues to claim he has never visited Epstein Island, it’s important to note that he has not denied any of the specific, much more serious allegations that were listed in the recently released documents.
He started his late-night post by attacking the quality of the show itself. “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,” the president wrote. He then escalated his attack, focusing squarely on the joke and issuing a direct legal threat.
“Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!! I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory, statement, have never been accused being there, not even by the Fake News Media,” he continued.
The president didn’t stop there, promising a significant lawsuit against the comedian. “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!”
While the president focuses his energy and legal threats on a joke about an island visit he denies, the real story lies in the documents themselves. The massive batch of Epstein files, which contain over three million documents, detail numerous unconfirmed allegations against President Trump. These allegations include several instances of sexual assault, including one involving a 13-year-old girl.
