United States president Donald Trump, 70, called the acts of comedians making fun of his youngest son as a disgrace. He mentioned both NBC and its late-night show "Saturday Night Live," in which Alec Baldwin, 58, impersonates him.
"A person from 'Saturday Night Live' was terrible, for them to attack, for NBC to attack my 10-year-old son," Trump told Fox News referring to Barron Trump, 10. "It's a disgrace. It's not an easy thing for him. Believe me."
Baldwin's impersonation of the president started during the campaign period. For the president, "Saturday Night Live" is a "failing show" and "not funny" and the actor is a "disaster" and "terrible" on the show.
Over the weekend, "Saturday Night Live" writer Katie Rich, 33, was attacked on social media for joking through her personal Twitter handle that Barron is the "country's first homeschool shooter." She has since deleted both her Twitter post and page.
Rich has been with the late night show on NBC for about three years and exclusively worked on the bogus newscast "Weekend Update." She has been suspended indefinitely after the tweet, Deadline reported.
Rich was not the only one who was slammed for her Barron joke. Actress Julie Bowen, 46, of ABC's "Modern Family" sitcom is currently under fire for making jokes about the president's son. Bowen commented on social media that Barron was on his Gameboy during the swearing-in ceremony of his father on Jan. 20.
I think Barron is on his Gameboy. Can't say I can blame him.

People slammed Bowen on Twitter for going after a boy, noting that former President Barack Obama's daughters Malia Obama and Sasha Obama were regarded as off-limits when their father was in office. Netizens considered Bowen's joke as poor taste.
Bowen reasoned that she was trying to keep it light. Being a mother herself, she claimed she understands that kids would be a "horror" at public events. However, some did not buy her reasons and considered her being a mother even worse.
For some, Barron did great at sitting still for hours during the Inauguration Day. Other people declared they will not watch "Modern Family" again.
