Donald Trump raged on Truth Social early Monday after Grammy Awards host Trevor Noah cracked a joke about the president’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, implying that he and former President Bill Clinton were regular visitors to Epstein’s notorious Caribbean island.
Trump also threatened to sue the “talentless” Noah over the joke, saying the comedian “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$.”
Noah, hosting the the Grammy Awards for the sixth time and final time Sunday, incited Trump’s outrage after delivering the joke after Billie Eilish won Song of the Year for her hit, “Wildflower,” according to the Daily Beast and Politico.
“Song of the year, congratulations Billie Eilish, wow,” the South African comedian said. “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,” came Noah’s punchline. As the audience reacted to his joke, Noah reminded the crowd, “I told you it’s my last year! What are you gonna do about it?”
But an outraged Trump had something he wanted to do about it. On Truth Social, the president said: “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.”
Trump also said that “until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, (I) have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media.”
Trump has denied any wrongdoing in relation to the Epstein sex trafficking allegations, according to Politico and the Daily Beast. There’s also no evidence that Trump ever visited Little Saint James, the small island in the U.S. Virgin Islands that Epstein owned and allegedly used as the base of his trafficking of underaged girls.
It’s been known that Trump and Epstein regularly socialized and were even said to be good friends for about 15 years until they had a falling out in the mid-2000s, according to the Daily Beast. A 2000 email from the Southern District of New York, which was included in a December release of Epstein documents released by the Justice Department, also revealed that Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet “many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware),” the Daily Beast also reported.
In threatening to unleash his lawyers on Noah, Trump did not indicate whether he also planned to sue CBS Television Network or streamer Paramount+, which aired the awards show, Politico reported. But Trump raised the specter of his successful lawsuits against ABC News George Stephanopoulos and against CBS News, the latter over a 2024 “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris.
“Ask Little George Slopadopolus, and others, how that all worked out,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you! President DJT.”
In both lawsuits, which legal experts said the networks could have won, the networks agreed to pay multimillion-dollar settlements to the president, paid as donations to a future Donald Trump library.
Prior to his Epstein island joke, Noah also angered the White House by commenting on the president’s curious friendship with 43-year-old rapper Nicki Minaj, the Daily Beast reported.
“Nicki Minaj is not here. She is not here,” Noah said, which prompted loud cheers and applause from the Grammys audience. “She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues.”
Breaking into an impression of Trump, Noah continued: “Actually Nicki, I have the biggest (expletive). I have it. Everybody’s saying it Nicki, I know they say it’s you but it’s me. Wap, wap, wap, look at it baby.”
In response, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung complained about the joke on X, writing in response to a Variety post: “And Trevor Noah is still a giant loser who will be forever known for being unceremoniously kicked off The Daily Show for being a complete psychopath, only to be replaced by a rotating cast of even bigger snowflakes.”
