Donald Trump Threatens To Sue Grammys Host Trevor Noah

Sunday night's Grammys telecast was the last to be hosted by Trevor Noah. CBS, which has aired the Grammys for the past 54 years, lost out on the next contract to broadcast the show, which will move to ABC, Hulu, and Disney+ next year. That marks the end of the line for Noah, who came into the hosting gig because CBS and his former Daily Show employer Comedy Central are both under the Paramount Global umbrella.

Noah acknowledged throughout the broadcast that this was his last rodeo, and he at least once noted that he was letting some of his jokes fly because he was on his way out. For instance, after Billie Eilish and Finneas won Song Of The Year for "Wildflower," Noah quipped, "Song Of The Year. Congratulations, Billie Eilish. Wow, that is a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense. I mean, because Epstein's island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton." Noah then added, "Oh, I told you it's my last year. What are you going to do about it?"

What Trump is going to do about it, supposedly, is sue Trevor Noah. On his Truth Social app early this morning, the president posted that he has never been to Epstein's island. "Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast," Trump wrote. He's made a habit out of suing media outlets and personalities who criticize him, a pattern he alluded to later in the message. Here's the full text of his post:

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! President DJT

I don't know whether Trump ever went to Epstein's island, but his association with the notorious child sex trafficker cannot be denied. We already knew this (there's the photo evidence, the emails, Trump's sketchy birthday card for Epstein), but more information about their connection emerged in recent days. When the latest batch of Epstein files were released last Friday, they included testimony from a woman who said Trump raped her when she was 13 at one of his "calendar girls" parties at Mar-a-Lago. According to this testimony — which Trump's Justice Department swiftly deleted upon release — at these events, Trump measured the vulvas and vaginas of children supplied by Epstein and auctioned them off to be sexually abused.
