Donald Trump has called Madonna “disgusting” for her comments about 'blowing up the White House' at the Women's March, and the president has also taken aim at Saturday Night Live writer Katie Rich.

During an interview with Fox's Sean Hannity, which aired on Thursday, Trump discussed the powerful Women's March, where Madonna spoke.

“Honestly she's disgusting. I think she hurt herself very badly. I think she hurt that whole cause,” Trump said of her shocking rant.

“I thought her and a couple of others. But I thought she was in particular, I thought what she said was disgraceful to our country.”

During the interview, which is his second since he became president last Friday, Trump slammed Saturday Night Live writer Katie Rich for her distasteful joke about his 10-year-old son Barron.

Trump insisted that he's not against humour, but felt that the joke was dispicable.

“I don't mind some humour but it's terrible. For them to attack, for NBC to attack my 10-year-old son...it's a disgrace. He’s a great boy. And it’s not an easy thing for him. Believe me,” Trump said.

Saturday Night Live writer Katie Rich was suspended indefinitely from her role at the NBC show after she wrote the controversial tweet about Trump's youngest son, Barron.

No one saw the funny side of Rich's tweet about the 10-year-old.

Rich has expressed her regret over the tweet and described her actions as “irresponsible” after declaring that “Barron will be this country’s first homeschool shooter,” in an abhorrent tweet during his father's inauguration on Friday.

The tweet drew severe backlash on social media, causing the comedian to not only delete the message but also suspend her account.

“I sincerely apologize for the insensitive tweet. I deeply regret my actions and offensive words,” she tweeted. “It was inexcusable & I’m so sorry.”

According to reports, the writer's name did not appear at the end of Saturday night's show which was hosted by Master of None star Aziz Ansari.

In the wake of Friday's presidential inauguration, The White House's 'first boy' since JFK junior has been subjected to cruel online taunts and even speculation that he is autistic.

Saturday Night Live writer Katie Rich attracted harsh criticism for a tweet she later deleted which read, "Barron will be this country's first homeschool shooter."

Rich's comment was just one of many singling out the boy, who must now spend the next four years largely scrutinised under the spotlight.

Chelsea Clinton took to her social media accounts to express her anger at the abuse levelled at Donald and Melania's son.

"Barron Trump deserves the chance every child does - to be a kid," she wrote.

The mother-of-two and former first daughter also took the opportunity to remind her followers that, "Standing up for every kid also means opposing POTUS policies that hurt kids."

The post has attracted as much praise for standing up for Barron as it has criticism for "hypocrisy."
