On the other hand, here was a student pilot trying to land on a windy
day, and we don't know how many approaches he aborted.
It wasn't done correctly, but he assumed you had the skill to do what
was needed, and you did. Besides, flying a miss from time to time when
not expected is good for you (I read that once -- or maybe it was
something MX said).

Today we experienced a new first, when the tower controller at
Jefferson City, Missouri decided to cut a Cessa 172 in front of me on
a short right base, *after* clearing me to land on Rwy 30.
Incredulous, I slowed as much as possible, and watched as the 172 (who
was several hundred feet above us) struggled to lose enough altitude
to land safely.
You should have told the controller to, excuse my limited French, le
pousser oł le soleil ne brille pas.
Then you should have quoted him the right-of way rules (planes below
have right over those above, planes on approach have right over those in
the pattern), and told him that you were taking your CLEARANCE and using
the RUNWAY.
If he was routing other traffic, he should have indicated that in your
clearance. If he expected to land the Cessna before you, again it should
be indicated in your clearance (or the clearance NOT given in the first
place). He should NOT expect to route higher, slower traffic ahead of
lower, faster traffic, and he certainly should have enough time on his
hands such that he need not issue go-arounds.
I'd get me a-hold of whomever signs his paychecks, because he's not
doing his job, but YMMV.
