DONALD Trump is threatening to drag Trevor Noah voor’ie hof after the South African made gat of him at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards. 

After congratulating Billie Eilish for winning the Grammy for Song of the Year for her track Wildflower, host Trevor Noah brought up the US president’s relationship with convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

The president was mentioned in the latest dump of the Epstein Files, with the US Attorney General Todd Blanche stating that no charges will be brought after over 3 million documents were made public over the weekend. 

“Wow. That’s a Grammy that every artist wants - almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” he quipped, referring to the president's threats to seize the autonomous Arctic territory.

Noah then added: “Which makes sense because, since Epstein's gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton.”

Trump responded on his Truth social media app, writing: "I'll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C. ...Get ready Noah, I'm going to have some fun with you!”

Trump, who moved in the same social circles as Epstein in Florida and New York, has fought for months to prevent the release of a vast trove of documents about the disgraced financier and has given varying accounts of why he eventually fell out with Epstein.

Epstein was convicted of soliciting an underage person for prostitution and died in a New York prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking of underage girls. His death was ruled a suicide.
