President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on the Grammy Awards and its host, Trevor Noah, threatening legal action over comments made during the Sunday event.
Trump took to his Truth Social account to express his disdain for the 2026 Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles, calling them “virtually unwatchable.” He also criticized the South African comedian Noah, comparing him to Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted the Academy Awards several times in the past.
Noah, according to Trump, made “false and defamatory statements” about him, suggesting that Trump and former President Bill Clinton had spent time on Jeffrey Epstein’s island. Trump vehemently denied these allegations and threatened to sue Noah for his comments, while stating, “I can't speak for Bill.”
Trump’s post read, “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$. “
This isn’t the first time Trump has clashed with media networks. On several occasions, he criticized overwhelmingly negative media coverage of him, calling it "illegal" and arguing that when nearly all reporting is unfavorable, it ceases to be free speech and instead reflects partisan bias aligned with the Democratic Party.
In December, he demanded that CNN be sold following a deal involving its parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD).
Trump has also targeted NBC’s parent company, Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA), in a push against media suggesting the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should review the company’s license. The president also cheered Disney (NYSE:DIS) for its brief suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel over his comments on late Charlie Kirk and Paramount Skydance Corp (NASDAQ:PSKY) for cancelling the "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
