Trump Threatens To Sue Host Trevor Noah Over Defamatory Epstein Island Remark… by OLAADEGBU(op): 4:22pm On Feb 02
Trump Threatens To Sue Host Trevor Noah Over "Defamatory" Epstein Island Remark At Grammys

President Donald Trump has criticised the Grammy Awards broadcast and threatened potential legal action against host Trevor Noah following remarks Trump says falsely connected him to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private island.

In a statement posted on his social media platform, Truth Social on Monday, Trump called the Grammy Awards “virtually unwatchable” and accused South African comedian Noah of making an “incorrect” and “defamatory” claim that Trump and former President Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island.

Trump categorically denied the allegation, stating he had never been to Epstein Island, and said he had never previously been accused of visiting the island.

“Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!!” Trump said.

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 being there, not even by the Fake News Media. Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast.”

Trump also sharply criticised Noah’s performance as host, comparing him to late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and deriding both the Grammys and the Academy Awards as low-rated broadcasts.

“The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards,” he said.

He claimed CBS is “lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer”.

The US president suggested he may pursue legal action against Noah, writing, “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,” he added.

The controversy centres on long-standing public scrutiny surrounding Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Over the years, various public figures have faced questions about their past associations with Epstein, though presence at his private island has been disputed and documented unevenly.

Trump has previously acknowledged knowing Epstein socially in the past but has said he severed ties with him years before Epstein’s legal troubles became public.

The Grammy Awards broadcast itself drew mixed reactions from viewers and critics, with social media commentary focusing both on the show’s performances and on the host’s political humour.

Trump brings receipts to the conversation while most leftists podcaster bring remours. Let's fact check Trump, the FBI informant on Epstein atrocities.

How? For telling him to stop saying things that are not true about him?

Sometimes if you don't have anything reasonable to post, just read and move on.

Trump can ask Peter Obi to connect him to his lawyer. They surely know how to handle nonsense case like this

Those guys can sleep even on top of water

Obi and Yusuf claimed they were paid 70m to sleep in court

As usual you won't put up what was actually said.

“Song of the year, congratulations Billie Eilish, wow. That is a Grammy that every artist wants, almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” Noah said. “Which makes sense, I mean, because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton.”

Where in this does he say Trump went to Epstein Island?

You need to read and watch what I posted above before coming up with your unfounded accusations. And you think Mr. Noah didn’t defame the President, let him prove that in court. wink

He did not call him names. He made a wrongful claim.

He was an MC of a world broadcast program which was not even a roast as the American used to call it.

Going to say Trump missed the Epstein Island that's why he want to get Greenland so Bill and Trump can continue their escapedes there is wrong. He need to learn.

The Noah guy always cause problem when he anchors l don't know why they even give him any platform again after the Will Smith saga.
Grammy said it'll be his last anchoring the event anyways
