Trump Threatens Lawsuit Over Trevor Noah Epstein Joke at Grammys
The 2026 Grammy Awards delivered big wins and bigger headlines after host Trevor Noah slipped a political joke into his opening monologue, referencing Trump and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Song of the Year – that is a Grammy that every artiste wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton.
Inside the arena, the line drew loud laughs. Online, it lit a fuse.
Trump quickly fired back on Truth Social, branding the broadcast “unwatchable” and accusing Noah of making a “false and defamatory” claim.
He strongly denied ever visiting Epstein’s private island and warned that his legal team could pursue action.
The clip spread fast across social platforms, with supporters calling it standard award show satire while critics said the joke crossed a line.
The clash has reignited the long running argument over how far comedians can go when real world allegations are part of the punchline.
So far, there is no lawsuit on file and Noah has not publicly responded.
