Trump Responds to Trevor Noah’s Grammys Remark With Legal Threat

How the Public and Media Reacted

The backlash and commentary did not stop with the president’s post.

• Late-night hosts and commentators responded on air; some mocked the legal threat, while others criticized the handling of the Epstein files and the broader political climate around such disclosures.

• Comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who had himself been referenced unfavorably by Trump in the same social media thread, joked about being unexpectedly dragged into the situation.

• Coverage across news outlets and social media highlighted the unusual intersection of pop culture and presidential politics — and the role awards shows now play in larger national discourse.
