A video excerpt from liberal Michael Moore is taking the internet by storm. But it’s not Moore’s loyal fans singing his praises for a passionate political confession – it’s Donald Trump’s supporters who are doing the cheering.
In the speech that was given before an audience in Ohio, reportedly for the film “Trumpland,” Moore delves deep into the mindset of Trump’s appeal.
But first, he shockingly starts out by defending Trump supporters.
“They’re not racists or rednecks, they’re actually pretty decent people. So, after talking to a number of them, I sort of wanted to sort of write this.”
Moore went on to read a piece where he shares what he believes is the momentum behind the Trump movement. He recounts Trump’s visit to Detroit, where he had talked of the city’s dismal economy and it apparently left a deep impression on Moore.
Donald Trump came to the Detroit Economic Club and stood there in front of the Ford Motor executives and said: if you close these factories, as you are planning to do in Detroit, and rebuild them in Mexico, I am going to put a 35% tariff on those cars when you send them back and nobody’s going to buy them.
It was an amazing thing to see.
No politician — Republican or Democrat — had ever said anything like that to these executives. It was music to the ears of people in Michigan and Ohio and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The Brexit states. You live here in Ohio. You know what I am talking about.
Moore went on to talk of the forgotten man, who works hard — if he or she is lucky enough to have a job — and continually gets screwed by the very representatives who are supposed to have their backs.

Hildabeast must have pulled it.

It's more like... the soldier picks up the rifle, fires it...the medic checks his body and the rifle and realizes that the German rifle was booby trapped to fire backwards.
He did follow it by speculating they’d regret electing Trump, but it was pure speculation following those comments. No?
I'm talking about his books, movies, tv shows or dated comments from yesteryear.
There was nothing covert or hidden in his comments. Regarding the above on why Trump will win, Moore told it exactly like it is.
This is not complex.

“You can take a snip of a Hillary speech and say “Hey, she’s right, she’s great, she’s speaking truth” But...you would never say that..”
I cannot believe some people on this site are this flipping stupid to not GET why people are using this!
It’s not a damn “trap”, genius. We are using it AGAINST them.
We are not telling people to see his damn movie, be his friend, buy any of his crap, or be “fooled” into liking him.
We are using his one flipping correct account of the felling of the electorate AGAINST the person he needed a whom damn movie to kiss up to in a more effective way against Hillary, than that movie would have been for her.
That one passage, who give a flying frick about the “context”, has spread faster and gone more viral than any part of that Hillary love letter and has ECLIPSED anything that he might have wanted to do with the “context”.
We got first mover advantage, and it is paying off.
That is how political war works! That is what the Dems do, and we are doing it to them.
You can sit and worry and fret about “context”, like the GOPe would. We are using it to beat these people over the head.
Jesus, if you don’t want to fight, then do us all a favor and not pretend to be a general.
The bible contains a story of a slave girl who told fortunes by means of a devil, constantly letting people hear that the apostles were telling about the way of salvation.
Therefore, we must now listen to slave girls telling fortunes by the devil.
I don’t think so.
This is a story about God being able even to force the obdurately wicked to do something superficially right.
And the oafs that say oh, God isn’t bothering with us, are putting on a false modesty. God bothers with any people that He foresees is willing — even the Ninevites.
“the medic checks his body and the rifle and realizes that the German rifle was booby trapped to fire backwards.”
That is the most retarded thing I’ve heard yet.
Why dont you tell us what the damn “trap” is then.
Something real, not some cheap wannabe of Alex Jones nonsense.
You are not seeing the whole picture, you are just seeing an extremely out of context clip from his movie Trumpland.
Be a FReeper.
RESEARCH
WATCH THE WHOLE MOVIE
(find it online - don't pay for it)
RESEARCH FREEPER - RESEARCH.
(Yes, I'm yelling)
This is happening knowing FULL WELL the circumstances. It is believed that in this case what is happening has transcended the circumstances.
It’s the kind of case the Rats tried to make about pu$$ygate. Except in this case there is a smoking gun, not just smoke.
You seem to fear that people will be endeared to Mikey, look up his filth, and be converted to said filth. This does not sound plausible; people are way too busy today.
Dear Cesspool,
You are a cesspool.

Who’s “we”? Where is this happening? And will it counteract all the people who will watch Moore’s movie and vote for Hillary??
It’s like pissing in the wind. Using this out of context part against Moore isn’t going to change any Hillary vote to Trump. If you think it is give me an example.
Making people who were inclined Trump more likely to want to get out and actually VOTE... is sufficient.
He is trying to de-alienate the tons of potential viewers who find him repulsive and irrelevant.
There are Trump voters who will need an out of context clip of Moore misrepresented as supporting Trump to vote for Trump??
There are much better reasons for voting for Trump than that. I don’t believe ANY Trump voter is that shallow.
“Who’s “we”? Where is this happening? And will it counteract all the people who will watch Moore’s movie and vote for Hillary??”
Do you even understand the concept of a “viral video” in any way?
“It’s like pissing in the wind. Using this out of context part against Moore isn’t going to change any Hillary vote to Trump. If you think it is give me an example.”
It is like talking to a person trying to be obtuse on purpose.
” I want a detailed list of the people that switched their votes or else this was stupid”
Then give us a list of how people seeing a short viral clip on the internet now going to furiously research the context and then going to see the entire movie and then deciding to vote for Hillary.
What? You don’t have those “examples”?
Well then go and prove your absurd reckoning before demanding others do it first.
I’ve, er, “debated” with this know it all. But even know-it-alls sometimes know something that is true — just like Michael Moore has.
The man turned, and for a split second, bit the dog. That doesn’t have to be a career of biting dogs in order to be newsworthy.
“There are Trump voters who will need an out of context clip of Moore misrepresented as supporting Trump to vote for Trump??”
Facepalm...
Are there democrats that do this when they take stuff from Trump “out of context”?
The best weapon against the left os to export our whiners to their side so they can get in their way.
Check post 47.
What Moore says after the out of context clip shows Moore is as repulsive as he ever was.
He’s not irrelevant, because you can see the audience agrees with him. They will vote for Hillary.
