So there we have it, Donald Trump's restraint in engaging in Twitter arguments lasted 10 days after being elected as the USA's next President. 

The President-Elect has demanded an apology from the cast of Hamilton after actor Brandon Victor Dixon read a letter aimed at Trump's running mate Mike Pence, who was sat in the audience. The letter contained a statement saying, "We, sir, are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us." Although the cast thanked Pence for attending, the future Vice-President was booed and jeered by audience members both before and after the performance. 

Trump responded on Twitter today, tweeting that, "Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing. This should not happen!" and that, "The theater must always be a safe and special place. The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!"

Hamilton actor Dixon responded, saying, "conversation is not harassment sir." Check out Dixon reading out the letter below.
