“Fahrenheit 9/11,” Michael Moore’s polemic about George W. Bush and the War on Terror, remains the highest-grossing documentary of all time. If the national mood was splintered when that movie opened in 2004, it’s nothing compared to what it is now, almost two years into Donald Trump’s presidency.
So, naturally, Moore is channeling his most famous film to explore that exact subject: “Fahrenheit 11/9” seeks to “bring Trump down” before November’s midterm elections.
HuffPost has an exclusive look at the first trailer for “Fahrenheit 11/9,” a reference to the day Trump was declared the winner of the 2016 election. It juxtaposes footage of Trump rallies and neo-Nazi protests with images of Moore using Flint water to hose down the Michigan governor’s gated driveway. Roger Stone, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Parkland massacre survivor Emma González and a host of others from both sides of the so-called aisle appear in the film.
Ahead of the trailer launch, we sent Moore a handful of questions about “Fahrenheit 11/9,” which hits theaters Sept. 21. Here’s what he had to say about the project via email.
In starting “Fahrenheit 11/9,” what was your intention? Did it change at all during the course of production?
Donald Trump is an evil genius. He has no intention of leaving the White House. Whenever he hears that another country has a president for life, he perks up and thinks, “I like the sound of that!” And he has an obedient political party that holds every seat of power backing him up.
American journalism schools have not trained students how to cover an authoritarian leader. Our media has no idea what it is up against. They’re getting steamrolled by a tyrant because Trump understands media and understands the country he lives in more than those that cover him do....

He just called Trump a genius. I’m so confused.
The title will only introduce confusion between his latest hack piece and the earlier one. Here’s to biggie failures from the biggie blimp!
😄 he. won.
Moore is a has been!
How can you be a genius when you’re the dumbest most unqualified clown idiot president ever?
I think this will be as popular as F-9/11. D’Souza’s docu-movie is probably a lot better, but it will not be as successful because he is blacklisted from all the MSM shows.
This should be a real humdinger.
I don’t get this idiot. His speech before the election helped Trump get elected. His fat ass is the reason why Hillary lost. Mike Gallagher was playing his YouTube speech everyday. What a schmuck! I predict a serious flop!
Most sane people know his “documentaries” are propaganda. Democrats don’t.
Moore’s filming exposes nothing more than his lack of intellectual acuity. I think the fat cells in his brain are overwhelming the gray cells. Fahrenheit 451 was a popular book by Rad Bradbury of the 50s about burning books. 451 degrees F is the temperature at which paper starts to burn. Moore simply copied the title and turned it in to a 9/11 rant against conservatives. He shows no more originality with his new 11/9 rant. His shtick is to pick a popular anti-conservative theme, make up some scenarios, then and turn on a camera. The liberal sheep then make him millions. Let the liberals give their money to other liberals. It’s a zero sum game.
The only people who will want to see this movie are already Trump-haters. No harm done.
Mmmm...I seem to recall a while back that some of US said the same about Slick Willie, and more recently about Barack Obama.
WADR, Hillary is why Hillary lost. Moore just put the exclamation point on the loss.
