What do you think about Michael Moore's speech about Trump?

Asked by JLeslie (65790points) October 28th, 2016 from iPhone

A friend of mine sent me this YouTube of Moore. I pretty much agree with him.

Warning: the video has a lot of swearing.

Misread that as “a lot of sweating.”

I wouldn’t be surprised.

That’s a doctored clip from his documentary about his stand-up show.

Conservatives don’t seem to understand that he’s taken the piss with them.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/10/27/michael-moore-to-megyn-kelly-trump-totally-mischaracterized-trumpland-film.html

As he told Kelly on Thursday night, the clip that has gone viral in “TrumpLand” was “doctored” so that it cuts off just before he delivers his primary message. “It will feel good,” is the last thing Moore can be heard saying in the clip Trump himself shared. But his next line is, “For a day, or maybe a week.”

“But when you find out that your life isn’t going to get any better under President Trump and will probably get worse,” he continued on Fox News, “that’s when you’re going to realize what the Brits have realized,” referring to the Brexit vote.

“If we elect Donald Trump as president of this country, it won’t be the same country after four years,” he added. “I’m absolutely convinced of that.

This is the most vile, disgusting candidate that’s ever run for office in this country.”

“If Trump had watched the film, Moore said he wouldn’t be promoting it, because the message is to get out and vote for Hillary Clinton.”

Ah. So my message is – I agree with Mr. Moore’s intended message, not the edited version running through Conservativeville.

@BellaB Interesting. This is why I love Fluther and prefer to post here rather than Facebook when it comes to politics.

I get where the normal people are coming from who intend to vote for the Trumpster they want to toss a grenade into the political shit pile and watch what happens , the problem is these good people will end up covered in the crap themselves and they don’t see it.
Hell I hope I am far enough back up here in western Canada , not to get covered in the shit when the pile explodes.

@JLeslie , a friend of mine from another forum was at the IFC premiere* of the documentary so I’d been following the goings-on about it pretty closely.

* my pal was thrilled when Mr. Moore tweeted a pic of him in the IFC lineup
