Yup, Donald Trump is still upset about Hamilton.

Hours after he first took to Twitter to criticize the cast of Hamilton for delivering a message to Mike Pence, the President-elect once again had some harsh words for the actors. But, this time, he quickly deleted them.

"Very rude and insulting of Hamilton cast member to treat our great future V.P. Mike Pence to a theatre lecture," Trump wrote in a tweet that was promptly deleted Saturday evening.

He further criticized Hamilton actor Brandon Victor Dixon for not memorizing his lines -- apparently referencing the now viral videos of the actor reading a statement directed at Pence, the vice president-elect, following a performance of the musical Friday night.

In the videos, Dixon can be seen delivering a strong message to Pence as he is leaving the theater.

"We, sir, are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable right," Dixon said. "We truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us."

It's not clear why Trump's latest tweet was deleted, but perhaps his people have decided to step in and once again seize the Twitter account from his hands. The President-elect is known for his controversial tweets and his campaign reportedly cut off his access to his Twitter account just before the election.

Earlier in the day, Trump ignited a firestorm on Twitter for saying it was "very rude" of the cast to make its statement and that "theatre must always be a safe and special place."

So it seems Trump's Twitter game isn't changing with his election win and Hamilton is his newest target.
