Funny Post: Trump’s feuds

The US Vice President-elect Mike Pence was attending the Broadway show Hamilton last Friday when he was booed by fellow audience members and then lectured from the stage at the curtain call. The musical, about the US founding father Alexander Hamilton, features hip-hop music and a racially diverse cast. “Mike Pence, we welcome you here,” actor Brandon Dixon (who plays the 18th century vice-president Aaron Burr) told him. “We are the diverse Americans who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents… or uphold our inalienable rights.” The incident (pictured) provoked furious tweets from President-elect Donald Trump. “The Theatre must always be a safe and special place,” said one. “The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologise!” Trump also reprimanded TV show Saturday Night Live for mocking him, and summoned TV executives and journalists to Trump Tower to rail against “outrageous” and “dishonest” media coverage of the presidential transition. Trump has also paid $25m to settle three fraud lawsuits related to his “Trump University” investment classes. Rather than contest them, he said, he needed to be fully focused on his new job.
