Donald Trump demanding an apology from the cast of "Hamilton" is oppression of the First Amendment.

The Arts and Trump (click here) How ironic Donald Trump began his oppressive threats at "Hamilton" of all places. Amazing.

...As the play ended, (click here) the actor who played Aaron Burr, Brandon Victor Dixon, acknowledged that Mr. Pence was in the audience, thanked him for attending and added,

“We hope you will hear us out.”

“We, sir — we — are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights,” he said. “We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf all of us.”...



Brandon Victor Dixon in July. At the end of the show on Friday, he told Mr. Pence, “We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf all of us.”

Mr. Pence could not handle eye contact with someone who was expressing their First Amendment Right to the free and open dialogue of descent. He left the auditorium either out of shame or insecurity or fear of providing a political oppotunity of the people.

We all have been through this before and it will be terrible. From every aspect of the Trump presidency it will be terrible for many, many people. 

There are many cities in the USA that have tourist economies. If the arts are attacked there will be economies that will suffer and the overall GDP will be effected. The Arts are important and stand in their strength under the First Amendment of Freedom of expression. 

Enough.

Donald Trump is forgetting his roots in New York City and delivering oppression to the USA. If Americans descent they are reprimanded and in that reprimand is a threat to funding. 

Donald Trump will not play dictator in chief. He is not the boss, he is the president and he answers to US!

New York is not the only city in the USA that thrives on freedom of expression.

Donald Trump has a job to do, either he does it or not. He has already accumulated ethics issues with his settlement of Trump University.
