Trump-hating director Michael Moore is “concerned” that former President Donald Trump is “smarter than” the Democratic party.
The Bowling for Columbine director made the remarks during the latest episode of his Rumble podcast, which was released at the beginning of March.
“We don’t want to say this out loud, but I’m going to say it, and the reason we need to be concerned is that Trump is smarter than us,” Moore told his audience.
“I know, I know, you’re calling the people to come find me, the guys in the white uniforms with the big net, and take me away. ‘Are you crazy? What do you mean he’s smarter than us,’” he continued.
Michael Moore to worried Democrats:
"Trump is smarter than us. He will defeat all these trials."
President Trump is not just smarter.
He really is a good person with a loving heart for all Americans.
Majority of voters are realizing this.
He is breaking past Fake News.

In a follow-up post on his blog, Moore explained why he believes that the ex-president is “an evil genius.”
He said that Trump is the Republican primary candidate, despite allegations of “sexually assaulting women then bragging about it,” lying about his net worth to “defraud banks” and avoid paying taxes, and “ordering state officials” to stuff ballot boxes with nearly 12,000 fake votes.
“He may be an idiot and a bigot, but he’s also an evil genius,” Moore added. “With the emphasis on genius.”
According to Newsweek, the 69-year-old documentarian admitted that Trump taking the upcoming presidential election is one of his “legitimate” fears.
The Fahrenheit 9/11 director pointed out that Trump “been able to pull s*** off and get away with it” for years, which he said was “an amazing record.”
He alleged that the 45th president is trying to push back his criminal trials until after the election, and contended that even if they go forward as scheduled, Trump would likely come out victorious.
“Trump has never been convicted of a crime, and has never spent a single night in jail,” Moore wrote on his blog.
“How delusional do we have to be to believe that after a 50-year career of Trump committing one perfect crime after another that suddenly now his unbroken streak of evading the law is going to come to an end?!”
“You must marvel at how somebody that stupid is that smart when it comes to the performance of his evil and his ability to never have to pay for it,” he added.
He also took aim at the current president in the episode, which was titled: “Biden must save Biden from himself.”
Moore referenced a November poll that found the majority of 18 to 34-year-olds are not thrilled with how the White House is dealing with the Israel-Hamas war.
“Young people don’t like war. They hate it,” he remarked. “They do not support Biden, no matter how much they might have loved him last year.”
The Where to Invade Next director noted that young people might be grateful to the president for forgiving student debt and the other “okay” things he has done for the country while in office, but that doesn’t mean they vote for him if he stands in opposition of an issue they collectively support.

“Young people are against Biden now. It wasn’t that way before. You know young people … voted for Barack Obama in 2008,” Moore told his viewers. “And yet he won the election because of a massive number of young people that showed up.”
He noted that “modern Democratic successes have been built” on the votes of the country’s youth and Biden is losing them.
“And now every poll shows that young people are against Biden. The majority. And some of them will vote for Trump just because,” he warned.
Moore cautioned that the American youth may forgo voting at all, or they’ll come to the polls to vote in every election but the presidential one.
He said that just as catastrophically, young voters might get “suckered” into voting for independent Robert Kennedy Jr., or just writing someone in.
“I think people in the Biden campaign know this, and they’ve got a huge problem,” he concluded. “And I would really suggest that they convince joe Biden right now to do what young people want.”
