These people are paid to entertain. If you step out of character to lecture the audience, be prepared to hear some adverse opinions in return. Trump’s whack across the snout with a rolled-up newspaper is the appropriate response.
Trump had every right to respond the way he did. Mike Pence is one of the most morally upright men in leadership, period. A true carrier of the Founders legacy that the musical is supposed celebrating.
I am defensive of Pence (and his family!) and that’s why I wish he didn’t have to subject himself to the show...but I would have seen it coming, knowing the context. That’s all I’m saying.
