US President Donald Trump has threatened to sue comedian and Grammys host Trevor Noah after he claimed the president visited convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's infamous island. Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Monday morning, threatening to sue Noah for "plenty of $S" over the claim.
The incident occurred during Noah's hosting duties at the 2026 Grammys ceremony, where he jokingly stated that Trump had visited Epstein Island. Trump saw this as an attack on him and immediately fired back, stating that he will be taking legal action against Noah for making false claims about him.
Trump claimed that Noah was "talentless" and that his comments were a form of harassment. He did not specify what exactly he plans to sue Noah over but hinted at it in his Truth Social post.
It's worth noting that Trump has been known to take drastic measures to defend himself against perceived attacks, including suing individuals and media outlets for defamation and libel. However, this is the first time he has threatened to sue a comedian for a comment made about him on live television.
The situation highlights the increasingly charged rhetoric between Trump and his opponents in the entertainment world. The incident also raises questions about the limits of free speech and the responsibilities of public figures to ensure that their words do not cause harm to others.
Noah's team has yet to respond to Trump's threat, but it is clear that this is a highly contentious issue that could play out in the courts.

I mean, come on Donald Trump can't just threaten to sue someone for having an opinion. Like, what's next? Is he gonna sue Trevor Noah for existing? 
This whole thing just smells like another one of his ego trips. Newsflash, Donald: comedy is subjective and you can't take offense to everything people say about you. If you're really that sensitive, maybe you should be the one who apologizes. And by the way, did Trump even visit Epstein's island or was he just lying about it? 
The real question here is what's really going on with this guy and why can't he just calm down for once? 
so trump's all bent outta shape over trevor noah makin' some jokes about him visitin' epstein island? like what's the big deal? it was just a joke, man... 
oh man come on trump thinks he can just threaten a comedian for making a joke about him? what's next suing himself for being bad at golf? 
his ego is literally going to be his downfall lol and honestly who knows what kinda trash he's gonna dig up in the courts but good luck with that buddy 
can't we just have some lighthearted convo without turning it into a drama fest?
