“Honestly, she’s disgusting,” Trump said during an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News Thursday. “I think she hurt herself very badly. I think she hurt that whole cause. I thought she was in particular — I thought what she said was disgraceful to our country.”

Trump also weighed in on the “Saturday Night Live” writer, Katie Rich, who tweeted that 10-year-old Barron Trump would be this country’s “first homeschool shooter.”
“Saturday Night Live, a person from Saturday Night Live was terrible,” Trump said. “I don’t mind some humor 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.”
“It’s a failing show,” he continued. “It’s not funny. Alec Baldwin’s a disaster. He’s terrible on the show.” (RELATED: The White House Has Responded To ‘SNL’ Writer Who Mocked Barron Trump)
Rich was later suspended from the show.

After Rich apologized for her tweet, the White House issued a statement in response to what she said.
“It is a longstanding tradition that the children of Presidents are afforded the opportunity to grow up outside of the political spotlight,” the administration said in a statement Tuesday. “The White House fully expects this tradition to continue.”
“We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.”
