Michael Moore mocks Trump Jr. for thinking he’s pro-Trump
Filmmaker Michael Moore on Wednesday taunted Donald Trump’s son for believing Moore comes out in favor of the Republican presidential nominee in his new film.

Donald Trump Jr.’s tweet includes a link to clip of Moore discussing Trump’s supporters during his new movie.
“Whether [Donald] Trump means it or not is kind of irrelevant, because he’s saying the things to people who are hurting,” Moore says in the segment.
“And it’s why every beaten-down, forgotten, nameless working stiff who used to be part of what was called the middle class loves Trump,” he adds.
“He’s the human Molotov cocktail that they’ve been waiting for. [Donald] Trump’s election is going to be the biggest ‘f— you’ ever recorded in human history. And it will feel good.”
The liberal director on Wednesday celebrated how edited clips of “Michael Moore in Trumpland” are leading Trump supporters to watch his film.
