https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/jun/09/michael-moore-britain-is-a-toxic-place-tony-blair-brexit-jeremy-corbyn<snip>
A long-term supporter of Bernie Sanders, Moore said that the media had pandered to Trumps brand of sensationalism, and that many people had underestimated the likelihood that the presumptive Republican nominee could make it to the White House.
Hes not as stupid as he looks, he said. You should take him very seriously. The manipulation, the propaganda and the way hes doing it is just brilliant, in the sense that he has succeeded. Seventeen other candidates couldnt find a way to bring him down. And now Hillary Clinton is trying to do the same thing using logic and brains. Its going to require something else. Personally I hope satire brings Donald Trump down.
Trump is presiding over a 21st-century version of fascism, he said, before predicting that Trumps popularity was the last gasp of the angry white guy.
Last September was the first time in the history of the US that the majority of children entering school were not white thats the new America, he said. Thats why Trump sounds the way he sounds and his supporters and rallies are strangely familiar. They have a hard time realising that the end is near.

Moore is correct - satire is the way to destroy this buffoon if he doesn't self-destruct first

Satire, and even more so, postive messaging will beat Trump. But must treat him as a threat. . nt

I keep walking around with this smile on my face, just to get sneers from the local Bumkins.

He uses criticism, and phony victims to play the martyr. Don't enable him.
