Lin-Manuel Miranda is a gifted writer, composer, and stage actor who created and starred in two of the biggest hits on Broadway of the last decade - "In the Heights" and "Hamilton." His impact on modern American culture is immeasurable.
Miranda is also a native of Puerto Rico and he still has family living on that beleaguered island. He loves and cares about the people who remain trapped in rubble and desperation that Hurricane Maria dumped on his homeland. He is raising money and leading relief efforts for Puerto's Rico's recovery.
To say that Lin-Manuel Miranda was less than pleased with Donald Trump's lack of empathy over the tragedy that struck Puerto Rico would be criminal understatement. Miranda was livid at Trump's blaming of Puerto Rican officials for problems they encountered in dealing with the hurricane's aftermath - as well as Trump's decision to institute a Twitter-feud with the mayor of San Juan - all actions that the Broadway star saw as not being helpful.
So this past weekend Lin-Manuel Miranda exploded onto Twitter himself and told Donald Trump how he really felt - and it was not pretty!
Stay strong, Puerto Rico!

"You're going straight to hell, @realDonaldTrump.Lin-Manuel Miranda is a concerned human being who suffers real pain when misfortune befalls others - and Donald John Trump . . . well, not so much. Today Trump is traveling to Puerto Rico. May he see and experience more than he intends to.
No long lines for you.
Someone will say, "Right this way, sir."
They'll clear a path."
Stay strong, Puerto Rico!
