Stephen Colbert makes his own musical about Trump vs. 'Hamilton'

You've probably heard of the feud between Hamilton and Burr – but have you heard of the feud between Hamilton and Trump?

After the cast respectfully made a speech to Mike Pence when he attended the Broadway show, Trump fired off a bunch of tweets demanding the cast apologize to the VP-elect.

Trump also called the show overrated, which Stephen Colbert argues might be the most offensive thing the president-elect has said yet.

So, the talk show host naturally put on an orange wig and a three-cornered hat and did his best attempt at a rap to the tune of "Alexander Hamilton."

No one messes with Hamilton.
