During an interview with Sean Hannity on Thursday, President Donald Trump called out Madonna for saying she had considered blowing up the White House during a speech at the Womens March last weekend.

Honestly, shes disgusting. I think she hurt herself very badly. I think she hurt that whole cause, he said. I thought what she said was disgraceful to our country.

Madonna has faced criticism from others, including Cyndi Lauper , for the comment in her speech, the entirety of which actually included her saying that violence of any sort wont fix anything. As the poet W.H. Auden wrote on the eve of World War II: We must love one another or die. I choose love, she said.

But the comments from Trump are especially noteworthy not because he is the president, but because of his well-documented interest in the pop star.
