Michael Moore says it’ll take former President Trump losing the election “in a landslide” in order to “guarantee” that he fades from the spotlight.
“We need to ensure that Trump loses in a landslide, with numbers so massive, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the entire country tuned in to watch Geraldo [Rivera] open up Al Capone’s vault,” the “Fahrenheit 9/11” director said in a Friday post on his website.
“Because that’s the only way to guarantee his permanent removal from the public eye,” Moore said.
“We should settle for nothing less.”
Trump has repeatedly claimed the 2020 election was fraudulent and rigged despite there being no evidence of widespread fraud.
Moore, a fierce critic of the 45th president who once performed an anti-Trump Broadway show, expressed optimism that Vice President Harris would win the White House next month.
“Trump is toast,” Moore wrote.
“If everyone does their part in the next few weeks, Trump is going down in flames.”
But he also suggested that Harris supporters exercise caution.
“We do know that Trump has a stellar streak of pulling off the impossible — and those who have written him off have more than once lived to see the day where they must eat humble pie. It is never wise to do a victory dance on the two-yard line when Trump is your opponent,” the Academy Award winner wrote.
Moore also warned that Harris’s campaign could falter in its final weeks before Election Day if the vice president “is advised by her wealthy donors to shun the left and drop her more progressive positions in favor of a ‘move to the center.'”
“This, too, could reduce or depress the vote for Harris, especially among the base. I know many of you don’t want to hear that, but I’m just trying to warn you that the actions of party hacks and pundits have consequences,” Moore said.
“If there ever was an election where the totally unexpected and crazy could happen, this is already that election,” the 70-year-old filmmaker and activist said.
“Assume nothing. Take zero for granted. Work to prevent the worst results and prepare to make a possible Trump presidency a complete failure by spending these next weeks helping to elect Democrats to the House and Senate, thus creating a Blue Wall that will guarantee Trump will not be able to do anything for the next four years,” he said.
