Michael Moore: ‘Trump has to go, but that shouldn’t be the main goal’

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore says that impeaching President Trump shouldn’t be the “main goal” when there are many other problems left to fix.

Moore, who has in the past said he thinks the president will be impeached, noted that impeachment won’t solve all the issues the country is facing today.

“Just getting rid of Trump, what does that do?” Moore told The Washington Post for a story published Saturday.

“So we go back to the day before Trump, and was that that great a day? We have a lot of problems we have to fix. Yes, Trump has to go, but that shouldn’t be the main goal.”

Moore’s comments come after Rudy Giuliani, a member of Trump’s personal legal team, said this week that special counsel Robert Mueller told the president’s lawyers that they cannot indict a sitting president. 

Giuliani told CNN that when it comes to Trump, Mueller’s team can only produce a report at the conclusion of its probe into ties between Trump campaign associates and Russia during the 2016 election.

CNN noted that Mueller’s team could still make referrals to Congress, which would have to decide on whether to pursue impeachment proceedings depending on the report’s findings.

Moore has been highly critical of Trump in the past and taunted Trump last month to “grow a pair” and fire Mueller following the president’s persistent attacks on the special counsel leading the Russia probe.
