In a passionate speech on Saturday, Madonna went on a rampage about her feelings toward Donald Trump’s presidency.
“Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House,” she said at a Women’s March protest in Washington, D.C. “But I know that this won’t change anything. We cannot fall into despair.”

According to Page Six, her comments got the attention of federal law enforcement and the Secret Service is reportedly investigating.
On Sunday, the “Material Girl’ singer took to Instagram to clarify her comments.
“I want to clarify some very important things. 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 taken wildly out of context,” Madonna wrote.
“One of the singers said she wanted to blow up the White House. I mean, can you imagine saying that about President Obama,” White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus told “Fox News Sunday.”
An official U.S. spokesperson said that the statement will be evaluated for it’s seriousness.
“It’s all about intent. Is she intending to do harm to the White House or President Trump? Otherwise it will be characterized as inappropriate,” the official said to The Post. “If it’s characterized as inappropriate, then there won’t be any discussions with the U.S. Attorney. If it’s determined that there’s intent on her part, then there will be discussions with the U.S. Attorney and they’ll take it from there.”
