'A total loser': Trump lashes out at Trevor Noah over Epstein Island joke at Grammy Awards; threatens to sue him

US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to sue comedian Trevor Noah after, while hosting the 68th Grammy Awards, Noah suggested that Trump had visited Epstein Island with former US President Bill Clinton.

During the telecast, while announcing the Song of the Year award, Noah said, “There you have it, song of the year! Congratulations, Billie Eilish. Wow. 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?” he added.

Reacting to Noah’s remarks, Trump called the Grammy Awards the “WORST” and described Noah as a “poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C.”

Taking to his Truth Social, Trump said he had never been to Epstein Island and had never before been accused of it.

“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!” added Trump.
