If Alexander Hamilton had a twitter account he would likely give President Donald Trump a run for his money in number of tweets, as his biographer Ron Chernow believes he would be an 'active' presence on social media.
'If he had a twitter account it would be a pretty active one. Hamilton was never at a loss for words,' he told DailyMail.com Sunday night on the red carpet at the taping of the annual Kennedy Center Honors.
Twitter is the current president's preferred method of communication and he can blast out several tweets in an hour when the mood strikes him.
Alexander Hamilton biographer Ron Chernow thinks the founding father would be active on social media
For the second year in a row, President Trump and first lady Melania Trump, seen here at the G20, did not attend the Kennedy Center Honors
For the second year in a row the president and first lady Melania Trump did not attend the Honors - one of the biggest nights on Washington D.C.'s social media calendar.
Hamilton was a prolific writer himself but Chernow said the founding father would struggle with Twitter because he liked to write long intellectual essays.
'It's a little bit hard for me to picture Hamilton in a world dominated by tweets and sound bites. He would find contemporary politics thin and superficial in certain ways because of the depth he would argue things,' he said.
Chernow's book inspired the hit broadway musical 'Hamilton.'
The annual Kennedy Center Honors, which tapes Sunday night and airs December 26, paid tribute to singer Cher, composer Philip Glass, country singer Reba McEntire, jazz musician Wayne Shorter, and gave a first-time award to the co-creators of the musical 'Hamilton': 'Special Honors for Groundbreaking Work.'
The musical's creators - Lin-Manuel Miranda, Thomas Kail, Andy Blankenbuehler, and Alex Lacmoire - were on hand to celebrate the occasion.
The musical features a song on the controversial presidential election of 1800 where Thomas Jefferson and John Adams engaged in some epic mudslinging.
The election ended up being decided by the House of Representatives and Hamilton was a key cause in handing Jefferson the presidency.
Hamilton's life became a hit broadway musical
Among the 2018 Honorees are Hamilton choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler, composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, director Thomas Kail and music director Alex Lacamoire
Cher was honored for her signing career
Miranda said the 2016 presidential election - a nasty battle between Trump and Hillary Clinton - didn't even come close.
'It's hard to beat my opponent is a hermaphrodite. My opponent is dead. Vote for me. That was the election of 1800,' he told DailyMail.com.
'It reminds us that past is present as past is present as past is present,' he added.
The Kennedy Center Honors began with a standing ovation to the late President George H.W. Bush, who died Friday night, led by host Gloria Estefan.
'He was a gentle kind man my family and I will never forget,' she said.
As typical with the show, a round of celebrities showed up to pay tribute to their colleagues for being given the prestigious award.
The Trumps weren't there to occupy the presidential box, which was called the Honoree Box for the guests sitting there.
Cher, one of the honorees sitting in that space, has been particularly critical of the president - calling him a 'cancer' - and had said she had hoped to be honored by the Kennedy Center when Barack Obama was in the White House.
When DailyMail.com asked her what she would have said to Trump if he had come Sunday night, she responded: 'Oh go away.'
It was unclear if she meant the president, the reporter or both.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
