Michael Moore heads to Trump Tower, demands meeting with President-elect
The New York Daily News ^ | November 12, 2016 | Dennis Slattery

Documentarian Michael Moore made an unannounced visit to Trump Tower Saturday with a film crew in tow — hoping for a sit down with President-elect Donald Trump.

Moore, a vocal critic of the real estate mogul, called Trump “illegitimate” as he walked around the lobby of the skyscraper with reporters, according to a pool report.

The “Fahrenheit 9/11” director said Trump “does not have the vote of the people” because claimed victory in the electoral college but did not win the popular vote.

The 62-year-old, who had predicted Trump’s victory, entered the gaudy lobby with a camera crew in tow and asked to see Trump.

“I just thought I’d see if I could get into Trump Tower and ride the famous escalator,” Moore said.

And he did...

And I’m sure no one is interested in finding whether he won the popular vote, are they?! Well, the dogs bark and the caravan moves on. Bush the Younger won and he never looked back and I doubt The Donald will either.

So, that would make Trump, Han Solo.

I think that Trump should let Moore meet him and address Moore’s concerns. Doing that for him would allow Moore to discover the real Trump instead of Moore continuing to wrestle in his head with the Trump demonized by the corrupt media.

After all, Moore has a good head on his shoulders and could be a valuable asset in helping Trump make America great again for everybody, including Moore and regular Democratic citizens.

He was told he could have a meeting with Trump if he showered (with soap) and put on clean clothes.

Trump is an excellent businessman.

Everyone has their own tastes and like Ceasar’s Palace it’s just a little too over the top for me. But then, that’s the Trump line the best of the best of the best.

Sounds like his amazing Trump will win video going viral on YouTube before the election has upset his fan base and threatens his income, so he staged a storming of the taco bar in Trump Tower. Just how Michael Moore stormed anything without forklift backup is a bit of a mystery, though.

Of course. For years I was annoyed that Bonwit Teller made way for Trump Tower. It’s only in recent years that I’ve come to enjoy it as a stopgap when walking around the stores on 59th, 57th, Bloomingdales, etc. Funny how even fairly recent buildings become beloved...

Read today that absentee ballots are not counted unless there are enough to change the outcome in a race.

Much of the military votes absentee and they generally vote about 65-70% Republican.

If all of this is true then Trump may well have won the popular vote too.

“The gaudy lobby”... What a biased insult.

Fat Moore needs to know according to those counting or not counting the remaining ballots, Trump has the popular vote as well. Some surmise the uncounted ballots favor Trump, but since he won they don’t have to keep counting.

These leftist educators who are poisoning the brains of our young people need to be removed from the education system.

Me and my husband were there last September. He bought his Trump MAGA hat from there. A very lovely black woman behind the counter, we ask her about Trump. She said he was a very kind and nice person to work for.
I loved the tower.

All his employees speak very well of him. His Hispanic busboys adore him. Compare that to some other titans of industry!

I have done some research and determined that all absentee ballots ARE counted.

In many cases, it’s possible to announce a winner without counting any absentee ballots because the margin of victory is larger than the number of absentee ballots.

But they are all counted eventually. Sometimes, for example, the determination of whether a political party qualifies to appear on a ballot depends upon the number of votes they received in a previous election.

Wow...Bonwit Teller. That’s not a name I’ve heard in a very long time.

Last I saw of them they set up shop in the Carousel Center in Syracuse. IIRC they only lasted a few years there.

Whatever Michael Moore rode in on is already in a world of hurt.

Trump may yet win the popular vote officualky. There are still ~9 million votes left to be counted.

Bonwit Teller was the dept. store that made way for TT. People were upset because there was a statue on a pedestal outside the store that Trump got rid of. He’s not perfect; he’s made some mistakes (why do you insist on gilding General Sherman, President Trump???) but, over all, Trump Tower has become a beloved place just as Bonwit Teller once was.
