Donald Trump threatens to sue Trevor Noah
United States President Donald Trump said South African comedian Trevor Noah is a total loser and threatened to sue him for a large amount.
This followed comments made by Noah during the 2026 Grammy Awards, where he served as the master of ceremonies.
“Song of the Year. That is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” he said.
Noah then added that it makes sense “because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton.”
Trump responded on his Truth Social network, saying the Grammy Awards are the worst and virtually unwatchable.
“The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards,” Trump said.
He highlighted that Noah incorrectly said that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island.
“I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close,” Trump said in his post.
“Until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, I have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media.”
He added that Noah, which he called 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 of dollars,” he said.
“Get ready, Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”

Noah has white daddy issues. This was demonstrated clearly in his far-left wing politics, and targeting of white people in general when he hosted a talk show. His talk show became a clown show, and there were no surprised faces when he “left” the show… He sucks up to white people when he wants to sell tickets. That’s it. If he had remained unbiased, and targeted every race and political party, I would have remained a supporter. I hope Trump takes him to the cleaners, show him that is a little boy in a big pond, nothing more.
