Former President Donald Trump has issued a threat of legal action against comedian Trevor Noah, labeling him a “loser” following Noah’s comments linking Trump to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous island. Noah suggested that Trump might need the island again to “hang out” with former President Bill Clinton, a claim Trump vehemently denies as fabricated.
Noah, who hails from South Africa, presented no evidence to support his assertion, which Trump has dismissed as a baseless lie. The controversy unfolded during the Grammy Awards, where Noah was hosting for the sixth time.
Amid congratulating singer Billie Eilish for her Grammy win with the song “Wildflower,” Noah took a jab at Trump, making a reference to the president’s past interest in acquiring Greenland. “That’s a Grammy every artist wants—almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” Noah quipped.
Continuing his monologue, Noah added a controversial remark: “Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton.” This comment stirred significant backlash.
According to AFP, Trump’s response was swift and sharp, taking to his Truth Social platform where he lambasted the awards as “the WORST and virtually unwatchable,” before taking aim at Noah specifically.
Noah, who hosted the Grammy Awards for the sixth time, then added: “Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton.”
AFP reports his comments drew the ire of the president, who took to his Truth Social platform first saying the “Grammy Awards are the WORST and virtually unwatchable,” before criticizing Noah.
“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,” Trump asserted.
The Republican then branded Noah a “total loser” who needs to “get his facts straight.”
“I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C. … Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!” Trump added.
More than three million documents were released on Friday that included mention of numerous powerful figures including Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton and former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor aligning them to Epstein Island and its associated activities, as – News reported.
No evidence has suggested Trump ever visited Epstein Island or took part in his trafficking operation.
