Showing Original Post only (View all)Michael Moore believes 'evil genius' Trump will be a two-term president [View all]
https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/16/entertainment/michael-moore-fahrenheit-11-9-donald-trump/index.htmlMichael Moore believes President Donald Trump is an "evil genius" who will be re-elected.
The documentary filmmaker spoke to CNN while promoting his upcoming film about the impact of Trump's 2016 victory, "Fahrenheit 11/9."
"Too many people in the summer of 2016 were so sure Hillary [Clinton] was going to win, saying no one is going to vote for this idiot," Moore said. "He could win again. I operate as if he is a two-term Trump. I have to. If you think any other way you are guaranteeing that whoever is going to run against him will lose."
Moore's explanation to the phenomenon of a Trump presidency?
"I think the man is an evil genius and he was able to outsmart the smartest person ever to run for president," Moore said. "He figured out how to win by losing the election. How did that happen? Historians are going to deal with this for years to come."
Sorry, Mike, I cannot agree.

"He could win again", said Moore...not WILL. Kind of makes a difference. The OP title is false.
