FUTURE First Lady Melania Trump and son Barron will not be moving to the White House after Donald Trump’s inauguration in January.

The president-elect’s 46-year-old wife and their 10-year-old son are staying put at the family’s Trump Tower penthouse so that Barron can continue attending his private school in Manhattan, The New York Post reports.

The news comes as Mr Trump doubled down on his hate of Broadway musical Hamilton, calling it “overrated”, before launching into a new attack on Saturday Night Live.

MELANIA, BARRON TRUMP TO STAY IN NEW YORK

A source close to Mr Trump’s transition team told The New York Post: “Melania is extremely close to Barron, and they have become closer during the campaign. The campaign has been difficult for Barron, and she is really hoping to keep disruption to a minimum.”

Another source said Mrs Trump will travel to the White House as needed, but that her primary focus is on her son.

“Melania is very supportive of her husband and is fully on board of doing everything that’s needed as first lady,” said the second source familiar with the Trump transition.

That source said also that there is a possibility that Melania and Barron may move to the White House at the end of the school year, but no plans are in place.

“She is really devoted to Barron,” said a source close to the family, adding that Mrs Trump has not relied on nannies to raise the child and is frequently seen picking Barron up from his school, where tuition is over $US50,000.

The decision to remain in their Fifth Avenue home will increase the security presence around Trump Tower — an effort that will involve both Secret Service and the NYPD, an expert familiar with high-level security told The New York Post.

“That building is going to become the White House of New York,” said Jim Reese, a former Delta Force commander and president of TigerSwan, a global security company based in North Carolina.

“The Secret Service is going to have to keep that whole area cordoned off so that some wacko can’t get close and detonate a car bomb.”

QUEEN ‘TO INVITE TRUMPS TO WINDSOR CASTLE’

Queen Elizabeth II is reportedly set to invite the Trumps to Windsor Castle next year, after the billionaire businessman is sworn in as president on January 20.

“Discussions between British officials and Trump’s team are expected to begin soon to ensure that a date can be agreed for June or July next year,” The Sunday Times reported, citing two minsters and a senior official close to Downing Street.

“The Queen will also send an official congratulatory message to the president to mark the inauguration.”

The British paper also reported that Mr Trump discussed the royal invitation last week in a meeting with Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage.

“He’s looking forward to it,” a member of Farage’s team told the Times. “He’s a massive Anglophile. He was really, really keen. His late mother, Mary, [who was born in Scotland] loved the Queen. He said, ‘I’m going to meet her, too. I can’t wait to come over to England. My mum would be chuffed to bits when I meet the Queen’,”

According to the Times, the British government views the Queen as its “secret weapon” to create ties with Mr Trump and help “to secure a post-Brexit free trade deal with the United States and to make an early effort to shape his thinking on NATO, Syria and other foreign affairs issues.”

TRUMP RAMPS UP HAMILTON ATTACKS

For the second day in a row, Mr Trump has lashed out at the cast of the Broadway musical Hamilton in New York for comments made to Vice President-elect Mike Pence.

“The cast and producers of Hamilton, which I hear is highly overrated, should immediately apologise to Mike Pence for their terrible behaviour,” Mr Trump tweeted on Sunday about the critically-acclaimed show, which is sold out until August 2017.

Hamilton is a Pulitzer Prize-winning musical about the life of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, stressing his orphan, immigrant roots.

With music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, it has been applauded for reclaiming the nation’s founding story with a multicultural and sexually diverse cast.

Many audience members were confused about why Mr Pence would attend the progressive musical, given his support of numerous efforts to ban gay marriage as governor of Indiana and that he opposed unfettered federal funding for HIV and AIDS treatment.

“We, sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights,” Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr, told Mr Pence at the show. “We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.”

Despite Mr Trump’s protestations, Mr Pence said he wasn’t offended by the message or being booed by theatregoers.

He said on Fox News Sunday that he heard the boos and cheers when he walked into the Richard Rodgers Theatre with his nephew and daughter on Friday night to see the musical. He said he told his daughter: “That’s what freedom sounds like.”

However, Trump supporters vowed to boycott the Hamilton musical. The threats have been met with mockery on social media.

The irony of the #BoycottHamilton movement is that it's mostly folks who already boycott both hip-hop and knowledge of history. — John Fugelsang (@JohnFugelsang) November 19, 2016

It's really easy to boycott a show that's sold out until 2018. 😂 I'll gladly take someone's tickets. #Hamilton #BoycottHamilton ❤️❤️ — Pandora Boxx (@ThePandoraBoxx) November 20, 2016

Congratulations on bravely refusing to see a show with a two-year waiting list. #BoycottHamilton — shauna (@goldengateblond) November 19, 2016

For everyone who is going to #BoycottHamilton my family, friends, & I will fall on the sword & take your tickets. #wegotyou — Jillian Michaels (@JillianMichaels) November 19, 2016

TRUMP LAUNCHES FRESH ATTACK ON SNL

After lashing out at the cast of Hamilton, Mr Trump renewed his attacks on sketch comedy Saturday Night Live.

Alec Baldwin returned to the stage to portray the president-elect as panicked and in over his head.

Free lecture? Well, that’s one way to put it. #WiigOnSNL pic.twitter.com/wPbk33XcF7 — Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) November 20, 2016

SNL skewered the Manhattan real estate developer throughout his US presidential campaign.

“I watched parts of @nbcsnl Saturday Night Live last night. It was totally one-sided, biased show — nothing funny at all,” Mr Trump tweeted. “Equal time for us?”

It didn’t take long fot Baldwin to fire back at the former reality TV star in a series of tweets.

“Equal time?” Baldwin wrote in one tweet. “Election is over. There is no more equal time. Now u try 2 b Pres + ppl respond. That’s pretty much it.”

Mr Trump last month blasted SNL as “boring and unfunny” and complained that Baldwin’s portrayal of him “stinks.”
