Fahrenheit 11/9: first trailer for Michael Moore's Trump documentary

Source: The Guardian

The first trailer for Michael Moore’s Donald Trump documentary Fahrenheit 11/9 has been released, promising an incendiary look at modern life in America.

The Oscar-winning film-maker has been focusing on the effect of the president in an attempt to shift public perception before November. “I’m finishing my movie and getting it out before the midterms because I want millions of people to get to the polls,” he said to Bill Maher in June. “We’re going to bring Trump down.”

In the first footage from the film, we see Moore speak to Parkland student and activist David Hogg and rising Democratic star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Bowling for Columbine director is also seen spraying “Flint water” into the front yard of Rick Snyder, the governor of Michigan.

Moore goes on to describe Trump as “the last president of the United States”. The title is a reference to the day that he won the election.
In an interview with HuffPost, Moore describes Trump as an “evil genius” and speaks to the potential power of his new film.

“On opening weekend, Fahrenheit 9/11 was the number one movie in every red state in the country,” he says in reference to his award-winning documentary. “It was a hit in military towns and on military bases. My choir is the American people. The old guard of the Democratic party has failed to speak to them. I will at least give them a song they can belt out.”

Before we fall for the crocodile tears over CNN's fight with tRump

We must not forget, Big Media gave trump much more airtime than any other candidate, they created this monster and the reason is, tRump is great for profits! Their money making clown was really IT

Trump received $1.9 billion in free, or “earned,” media coverage, yet spent just $10 million on paid advertisements during the last election cycle, far more free media coverage than Sec. Clinton at $746 million, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, at $321 million.

The history of the Deadliest fire in US history, the Peshtigo fire of 1871

I have studied this fire for many years because northern MI suffered a massive fire within hours of this fire. It was also on the same day as the great Chicago fire.
