Donald Trump Deletes Follow Up Attack on Hamilton
As the evening progressed on Saturday, Donald Trump couldn't let his attacks on the cast of Hamilton cease. Then, inexplicably, he deleted his latest salvo.

Among Donald Trump’s qualities that have become newly unsettling with his election as president of the United States is his lack of impulse control, exhibited once again Saturday evening on the medium which most enables it: Twitter.

Trump had started his day on the social network—where, let’s not forget, his handle begins with the word “real”—spouting off about his Trump University settlement before launching into a factually barren attack on the cast of the broadway musical, Hamilton, where vice president-elect Mike Pence was booed by the audience on Friday when he came to see the show.

Trump demanded that the cast of the play “Apologize!” to Pence, a characteristic move for a former reality TV star, but a strange order from a man who will be sworn in as Commander in Chief in sixty-two days.

It goes without saying that the United States is now the only first world country whose incoming president moonlights as a cultural critic online. It’s too early to guess what this will ultimately mean for our status in the world, but the future looks bleak.

6. This is all tremendously surreal

Perfect plot for a horror flick, a psychological thriller. Only it's happening in real time, in our country, and it hasn't even really started yet. I don't think it's going to end well.
