michael moore comments on donald trump

Because I know a lot of people in Michigan that are planning to vote for for Trump. And they're not... They don't necessarily like him that much, and they don't necessarily agree with him.. They're not racists or rednecks... They're actually pretty decent people, and so I wanted to sort of... If I'm talking to a number of them, I wanted to write this.

Donald Trump came to the Detroit Economic Club and stood there in front of a Ford Motors executive and said "If you close these factories as your'e planning to do in Detroit and build them in mexico, I'm going to put a 35% tariff on those cars when you send them back, and nobody's going to buy them." It was an amazing thing to see. No politician, Republican or Democrat, had ever said anything like that to these executives, and it was music to the ears of the people of Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and Wisconsin. The Brexit states. (Audience laughs) You live here in Ohio, you know what I'm talking about.

Whether Trump means it or not is kind of irrelevant because he's saying the things to people who are hurting. And it's why every beaten down, nameless, forgotten working stiff who used to be part of what was called the middle class loves Trump. He is the human molotov cocktail that they've been waiting for. He is the human hand grenade that they can legally throw into the system that stole their lives from them. And on November 8th, on election day, although they've lost their jobs, although they've been foreclosed on by the bank, next came the divorce, the wife and kids are gone, the car has been repoed. They haven't had a real vacation in years. They're stuck with the shitty obamacare bronze plan where you can't even get a fucking percocet. (Audience laughs).

They've essentially lost everything they had except one thing. The one thing that doesn't cost them a cent and is guaranteed to them by the American constitution. The right to vote. They might be penniless, they might be homeless, they might be fucked over and fucked up, but it doesn't matter, because it's equalized on that day. The millionaire has the same number as votes as the person without a job: one. And there's more of the former middle class than there are in the millionaire class. So on November 8th, the dispossessed will walk into the voting booth, be handed a ballot, close the curtain, and take that lever, or felt pen or touch screen, and put a big fucking X in the box by the name of the man who has threatened to upend and overturn the very system that has ruined their lives. Donald J. Trump. They see that the elites who ruined their lives hate trump. Corporate america hates trump. Wall street hates trump. The career politicians hate trump. The media hates trump. After they loved him. And created him. And now hate him. Thank you, media. The enemy of my enemy is who I'm voting for on November 8th. Yes, on November 8th, You, Joe Blow, Steve Blow, Bob Blow, Billy Bob Blow, all the Blows get to go and blow up the whole goddamn system because it's your right.

Trump's election is going to be the biggest Fuck You ever recorded in human history.

And it will feel good.
