‘WRONG!’ Trump threatens to sue Grammy Awards host after ‘defamatory’ joke about Epstein island
PALM BEACH, Florida – President Donald Trump is threatening to sue Grammy Awards host Trevor Noah over a “defamatory” joke during Sunday night’s ceremony in which he suggested the commander in chief visited the Caribbean island of Palm Beach pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
After Billie Eilish won the Song of the Year award, Noah commented: “Wow! That is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense, I mean, because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton, so … . ”

After some laughs from the audience, Noah said: “I told you it’s my last year. What are you gonna do about it?”
Noah’s remark prompted a lengthy threat on Truth Social early Monday from Trump, who said: “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!!! 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 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!”
In 2020, former President Clinton denied ever going to Epstein’s island, saying through a spokesman: “The story keeps changing, the facts don’t. President Clinton has never been to the island.”
