Re: but the Trump U settlement is more important than the anger at Hamilton booing:

I agree that the settlement SHOULD NOT FADE FROM MEDIA COVERAGE. SHOULD NOT SHOULD NOT SHOULD NOT.

But demanding an apology from artists who are politely making a statement to a powerful person is not minor. It is alarming.

ANY normal politician runs for office knowing there will be people who will oppose their policies. Vociferously. Any normal politician knows they will not necessarily be kind about how they say it. 

Any normal politician is prepared for that as part of the whole process.

Someone about to assume power reacting that intensely to a minor slight is concerning.

And also — caring about things is good. Telling people to care about more things is a lot better than telling people off for caring about things.

Donald is saying something real and not remotely trivial about how he views the performing arts and public dissent in his lashing out at the Hamilton cast’s statement.

This.
