Donald Trump calls Trevor Noah a ‘total loser’ and threatens legal action after Grammys Epstein joke

Grammy night has a new headline-grabber, and it’s not Billie Eilish or Bad Bunny. Donald Trump, the US president, went full social media fireworks on Truth Social right after the 2026 Grammys, blasting the awards show and its host, Trevor Noah, in a post that’s already making the rounds.

Trump calls the Grammys “unwatchable”

In a post dripping with outrage, Trump described the ceremony as “virtually unwatchable” and claimed CBS was lucky to air it at all.

But the real fireworks came when he went after Noah personally, labeling him “a total loser” and threatening legal action over a joke about Trump’s alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Noah, in his usual sharp-witted style, had joked during Billie Eilish’s Song of the Year win that Trump might need a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton, referencing Epstein’s notorious island.

Trump fired back hard, insisting he has never been to Epstein Island and calling Noah’s comment “false and defamatory.”

He even hinted he might send his lawyers after the comedian, citing past victories against media figures.

What was the Trevor Noah joke on Donald Trump?

The joke, delivered immediately after Billie Eilish’s win for “Wildflower,” was classic Noah: quick, cheeky, and aimed straight at headlines. He quipped, “That’s a Grammy every artist wants, almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton.”

Trump’s response focused almost entirely on Noah, not the other stars of the night.
