Don’t forget: Donald Trump is another out-of-touch Manhattanite

Mr. Marc Thiessen of The Washington Post ( ‘Hamilton’ and the implosion of the left,” Nov. 23) would do well to remember that Donald Trump (who lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton) is himself a wealthy, out-of-touch Manhattanite who could afford to host a private showing of “Hamilton,” much less an $849 ticket to the show.

And apparently the man he chose as his vice president also has no problem spending $849 per ticket for himself and his family. So much for the “people’s” president.
