President Donald Trump is coming after the Grammy Awards as well as this year’s host, Trevor Noah.
During the ceremony — which was held Sunday, February 1, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles — host Noah, 41, made a joke about the 79-year-old president and his ties to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
After Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas, took home the award for Song of the Year for “Wildflower,” the comedian congratulated the 24-year-old singer-songwriter and strategically took a shot at Trump and his recent endeavor to take control of Greenland.
“Song of the Year — congratulations, Billie Eilish,” said Noah. “Wow, that is a Grammy that every artist 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,” Noah continued, referencing the small private island of Little Saint James that was owned by the late pedophile.
“I told you it’s my last year,” Noah said as the crowd laughed. “What’re you going to do about it?”
Following the joke, Trump took to Truth Social to condemn the music industry’s biggest night of the year and make it clear that there is no evidence that he ever visited Epstein’s private island. Clinton, 79, has also denied ever visiting the island.

“The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable!” the Apprentice alum began in his post. “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,” Trump continued. “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,” Trump said. “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,” Trump said, referencing the $15 million settlement over a defamation lawsuit regarding George Stephanopoulos’ inaccurate statement that Trump was found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll. “Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you! President DJT.”
