Michael Moore supports Trump? Reuters calls bullshit

https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/video-does-not-show-michael-moore-supporting-trump-2024-03-13/

A clip from a stand-up show by liberal filmmaker Michael Moore talking about why voters supported former U.S. President Donald Trump is being miscaptioned online by people who say it shows Moore himself voicing support for him. Moore has publicly expressed dislike of Trump.

An Instagram post, opens new tab says, “Michael Moore Supporting Trump” and has over 22,000 likes including comments like, “Is this real, I can’t believe my eyes,” “Wow, I'm shocked! This guy, out of all liberals, actually has woken up!” and “At least one liberal has seen the light.”

The clip was posted, on Truth Social by Trump himself on April 22, 2023 as well.

The clip is a eulogy written by Moore from the perspective of people who voted for Donald Trump in 2016.

In the clip, Moore talks about the reasons why people voted for Trump. He talks about Trump threatening 35 percent tariffs, on cars built in Mexico if automakers chose to outsource production and how this was “music to the ears” of some voters who said it was something that no politician had ever said before.


These cult MAGAts really are complete idiots.

Not enough that you can pin him down, but enough that he gets heard. He does the same thing dissing biden.

He did it in 2016. No, he doesn't come out and say it.

He gets out his worry beads and gives people reasons not to vote. He feeds concern trolls.

It's his shtick. He needs to be ignored by the media, but they won't because he says stupid shit like this.

That's the FUCKING problem Mike! He NEVER did and NEVER was going to "put a 35% tariff on cars built in Mexico"

Guess what Mike..Mexico was NEVER going to pay for his fucking wall either.

COVID wasn't going to go away in a few days.

He has NOTHING completely under "control".

The fucking world didn't respect us like never before because of him.

It wasn't the "greatest economy the world has ever seen."

You can't FUCKING stop a hurricane with an atomic bomb, or sharpee.

Shoving a flashlight up your ass doesn't disinfect the body.

And yet, in 2016, you and the media treated his fucking nonsense like it was written by a bunch of economic, political and foreign policy experts.

See, that's why this fucking country elected this fascist, racist piece of worthless amphibian shit.

The media, and folks like you are not supposed to just print the fuckery he spews and then say; "wow, that stuff sounds like music to some voters ears". Our 4TH Estate is actually supposed to report that "bullshit is bullshit" when it's fucking bullshit!

If my doctor said that potato chips improve my brain function, and a pack a day of smokes would increase my lung function, it would be "music to my ears" too.

I have a unicorn that shits Rainbow Sherbert...doesn't that just "sound" fucking fantastic?
