Trump doesn't really want the Hamilton actor to apologize...

he wants to focus so much negative attention on those who speak out "against" him that other people will be less likely to speak up.

I suspect the deplorables have already started harassing the actor (and cast), and will attempt to intimidate and silence anyone who speaks up.

Bullies gonna bully.

Expect intellectuals, and all university graduates to be rounded up and put to work replacing immigrant farm workers who will be deported. Coming to your neighborhood soon: The Killing Fields.

7. He made the tweets so he could unleash his Twitter followers on the cast of Hamilton.

It's been obvious for a very long time that he does this, but Megyn Kelly confirmed it recently when she said that he literally threatened to "unleash his Twitter account" on her if she didn't do what he wanted. She didn't, and he unleashed it. She received an extraordinary amount of hate and threats, just as he's hoping the cast of Hamilton will receive.

He relishes having his very own legion of attack dogs, just sitting there frothing at the mouths, waiting for him to send the signal so that they can go on the attack and do some of his dirty work for him. He doesn't care if they apologize, he just wants them to suffer.

He's sick.
