Michael Moore: ‘Trump is toast’
Michael Moore is doubling down on his prediction that former President Trump will lose his bid to reclaim the White House, saying he’s “toast.”
“I think that they are going to be very surprised — I’m talking about the Trump people and the MAGA nation — by what’s going to happen on Tuesday,” the “Fahrenheit 9/11” director said in a Sunday interview on MSNBC’s “Ayman.”
Moore, who last month penned a post on his website saying that “Trump is toast,” said just two days before Election Day, “I feel the same way that I felt a few weeks ago — that Trump is toast. Absolutely, I feel it more now.”
“I don’t want to say it too loudly, because our work isn’t done, right?” the 70-year-old Academy Award winner and fierce critic of Trump told host Ayman Mohyeldin.
“We all have doors to knock on tomorrow. We all have to make sure we get people to vote,” he said.
“But having said that, I’m very optimistic and hopeful,” Moore said of a potential victory by Vice President Harris.
“Frankly, I know people watching this [will say] ‘Mike, how can you say that? You know all these crazy people, and all these Trumpsters and MAGA nation.’ And what I say to them is, honestly, I have a lot of personal, deep faith in my fellow Americans.”
The Trump campaign, the filmmaker said, isn’t “really in touch with where the majority of Americans are at.”
“The majority of Americans do not want this divisiveness, they don’t want the threat of violence,” Moore said.
“We are OK to disagree with each other, but that’s where it ends. We go to vote, who wins wins. Half the time I’ve been very happy with who’s won, and the other half the time I haven’t been, and then we move on with our lives,” he said.
