The Borowitz Report: Kennedy Center to Replace "Hamilton" with New Musical, "Burr"

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Reacting to the decision by the producers of “Hamilton” to withdraw the show from the Kennedy Center, Donald J. Trump announced on Thursday that he would replace the production with a new musical, “Burr.”
The show, which will star Ted Nugent as Aaron Burr, will be produced by a new patron of the arts, The National Rifle Association.
“‘Hamilton,’ quite frankly, is no great loss,” Trump said. “It was an unsuccessful musical that no one wanted tickets for.”
“Burr is my kind of American hero,” he added. “He shot a guy.”

... would probably agree that Aaron Burr was a contemptible human being for most of his life. The fact that he shot and killed Mr. Hamilton was only a small part of it.
