Lin-Manuel Miranda Says Trump is 'Going Straight to Hell' For His Response to Puerto Rico's Plight
By: Julie Musbach Sep. 30, 2017
Lin-Manuel Miranda has been one of the most vocal figures in the call for support for Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria's devastating effects on the island nation. With video pleas and benefit songs in the works, Miranda is using his public platform to raise awareness for an issue that deserves the spotlight.
Trump has used his own public forum, his favorite, Twitter, to criticize San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz who has called out Trump for his lack of support to the US territory. Trump managed to infuriate many with his absurd claims, Lin-Manuel Miranda in particular. Miranda responded through Twitter, giving his honest reaction, see his Tweets below.

You deserve a leader who shares an OUNCE, a SHRED of the compassion you all have.
F***, I hate even quote tweeting his bile. My timeline feels dirty.
