President Trump had some choice words for the celebrities who attacked him and his 10-year-old son Barron in the days following the inauguration.
Mr. Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that Madonna’s comments about “blowing up the White House” at Saturday’s Women’s March on Washington were “disgusting” and damaging to the women’s rights movement.
“Honestly, she’s disgusting,” he said during a wide-ranging interview at the White House. “I think she hurt herself very badly. I think she hurt that whole cause.
“I thought what she said was disgraceful to our country,” he added.
The president also criticized “Saturday Night Live” writer Katie Rich, who was suspended from NBC for tweeting on Inauguration Day that 10-year-old Barron “will be this country’s first homeschool shooter.”
Mr. Trump said, “A person from ’Saturday Night Live’ was terrible. It’s a failing show. It’s not funny.”

“Alec Baldwin’s a disaster. He’s terrible on the show,” he said, referring to the actor who impersonates him on the show.
“And by the way, I don’t mind some humor, but it’s terrible,” Mr. Trump said. “For them to attack, for NBC to attack my 10-year-old son is a disgrace.
“He’s a great boy, and it’s not an easy thing for him,” he added.
