Filmmaker Michael Moore said he thinks Donald Trump will “absolutely” ban Muslims from entering the U.S., rejecting those who call for not taking the president-elect literally.
“He’s shown how he’s going to do it. He’s going to get away with it by making it a ban on Muslims who come from the following countries. He needs just enough cover for his crowd to say, ‘Oh, he’s being reasonable there. He’s not banning all Muslims,’” Moore said in an interview with Variety published Tuesday.
Moore said he also expects Trump to follow through on his plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump will officially become president Friday. Entering the Trump era, Moore implored Americans to take Trump “literally,” rather than figuratively, with his campaign promises and rhetoric.
“I’ve taken him literally and seriously since day one,” Moore said. “That’s why I’ve been able to be active and energized since the election. I went through my five stages of grief months and months ago when I realized he was going to win.”
Moore famously predicted over the summer that Trump would win the 2016 election, despite Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton's lead in the polls.
“You do have to take Trump at his word. I still hear people say, ‘Oh, he’s not really going to build the wall,’” Moore said. “Oh, he is going to build it. He knows that he’s got to deliver at least a version of the wall.”
Moore also said he met Trump once in 1998 when they both appeared on a talk show. He said he realized last year that Trump is "not stupid at all."
"People think he’s stupid — he’s not stupid at all," Moore said. "He played me; he got me to not be myself, to not talk any anti-corporate talk. I thought I was going over to relax him. What he was doing was undoing me so I wouldn’t be Michael Moore. This guy is good."
Moore will host a “massive rally” outside of Trump’s New York City International Hotel with actors Alec Baldwin and Mark Ruffalo on Thursday — just a day before Trump’s inauguration.
“Foreigners do not enjoy the same protections as citizens.”
It amazes me that some people think that foreigners have access to our Constitutional rights when they are citizens in their own country. It is dumbfounding. If only one has, then the entire world’s population has. We then must allow the world in, and impeach the president who tries to stop them.
With you there brother !
Michael Moore has the I.Q. of a grapefruit.......a dumb grapefruit.
He doesn’t need to leave Michigan, all he has to do is drive over to Dearbornistan.
If Trump doesn’t do what Michael just said he would do, I’m sure there will be a public apology coming from him.
Trump’s election is the best thing that has happened to Moore in years.
He is now back in the news for a brief time.
.
Let’s hope so. And send the ones we have back to hell where they came from.
He says that like it’s a bad thing. Can we ban 450 lb leftist filmmaker while we’re at it?
“DJT needs to repatriate (return) the ones who’ve already gotten or snuck in, plus the Legions of them that Obama has imported at USA taxpayer expense”
Great idea. Have you organized local patriots in your community to ID alien invaders? Have you met with your county sheriff and volunteered to watch the jihadists that Buckwheat might have allowed into your county? President Trump needs help from local citizens.
And yes, I’ve done all of the above.
Islam means SUBMIT to their rule of law.
Ban Islam.
It is UnConstitutional NOT to ban Islam.
Milkshakes?
I hope so.
