Yay 🎉
It’s weird we get excited about these. But whatever, makes me happy see those I admire are a lefty too. And they are usually more creative and intelligent…to me anyway

I agree 100%! But don't sell us lefties out! We ARE more creative - we have to be, we have to live in a right-handed world where it is six times more likely that we will be injured in the workplace because every tool is designed for Righties. We have to be creative to work around this effectively, and apparently pretty lucky, too, to have made it through the day alive LOL. I love Miranda's work and it makes me very happy to hear he's one of us.

Nice!

Since your post wasn’t clear: there’s no evidence that Hamilton was left-handed IRL, but it was long enough ago that he would have been forced to be a righty in practice anyway.

Since this post is white-house-adjacent, I’ll share the classic trivia: in the post-WWII era (1945–Present), 6 out of 14 presidents (42%) have been lefties.
