  • Trump threatened to sue Trevor Noah over a joke made at the Grammy Awards.

  • Noah's comments were part of a series of jabs at Trump during the ceremony.

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened legal action against comedian Trevor Noah following remarks made during the 68th Grammy Awards. While hosting the event, Noah quipped that “almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” it "makes sense because Epstein's island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton" (source) according to India Times, South China Morning Post, BBC, and India Times.

Reacting to Noah's comments, Trump criticized the Grammy Awards as “the WORST” and claimed the event was “virtually unwatchable.” He took to social media, stating, “I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close," asserting that Noah's statement was false and defamatory (source) according to South China Morning Post and BBC.

Trump further disparaged Noah as “a total loser” and humorously warned, "Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!” His remarks highlight a broader context of media criticism and legal threats he has made in the past against various news outlets. Trump has a history of engaging in legal disputes regarding defamation claims related to his public image (source) according to India Times, South China Morning Post, and BBC.

Noah's comments, which were part of his routine as he wrapped up his tenure as Grammy host, also included a joke about rapper Nicki Minaj and Trump. This comedic jab was met with cheers from the audience, indicating a significant reception for Noah’s critiques during the event (source) according to India Times and BBC.
