Washington 23 Jan (ANA) - A row has erupted over Singer Madonna's comments about US President Donald Trump during a speech at the weekend. While taking part in a protest march in Washington DC on Saturday, the singer said she had thought "an awful lot about blowing up the White House". Trump supporters reacted angrily, claiming that there would have been uproar if such a comment had been made about former president Barack Obama. Madonna has now said her remarks were taken "wildly out of context". "I am not a violent person, I do not promote violence and it's important people hear and understand my speech in it's entirety rather than one phrase," she posted on Instagram. She added she was trying to express there are two ways to respond to Donald Trump's election - with hope or with anger - and said she wanted to start a "revolution of love". Madonna had been attending the Women's March in Washington DC - one of several anti-Trump protests taking place around the world over the weekend Several news networks had begun broadcasting Madonna's speech live on Saturday but many cut away after she swore several times.
