Drumpf throws a hissy fit because New Yorkers boo his choice for Vice President. The booing is a normal reaction when people ‘jump the line’. Hamilton has been a tough ticket to score for some time and this guy, who is immediately identified as a ‘tourist’ has orchestra seating for himself and his security. The cast made a statement after the curtain call, but the booing was from the audience, not the cast, and it was about privilege, not politics. If it had been a deli line Pence would have been pounded to paste, Secret Service or not.

Rude, on the other hand, is when a recently elected leader tells the leader of another sovereign nation who he wants as ambassador and selects the leader of an opposition political party. Someone needs to point Drumpf to a protocol officer to explain that you don’t conduct diplomacy on Twitter.
