Trump mocked Michael Moore, left-wing filmmaker, and
tweeted on Saturday that Moore’s one-man show on Broadway was "a TOTAL
BOMB".
Michael, the director of a multitude of documentaries,
which includes "Farenheit 9/11," “Bowling for Columbine,” and “Roger
and Me,” responded later on Saturday with one tweet of his own. See how he
responded here.
"The Terms of My Surrender," Moore’s show,
completed its 13-week run on October 22nd. The site BroadwayWorld.com claimed
that it earned $4.2 million at the box office, fewer than 50% of its possible
take.
The Broadway show that combined Michael’s
autobiography with calls for political acts against President Trump and
additional Republicans, was also a crucial disappointment. "Terms of My
Surrender" was described as “self-aggrandizing and shaggy," according
to the NY Times.
‘You do not have to disagree with Moore’s politics to
see that his shtick became disagreeable with age,’ according to Jesse Green, a
reviewer who compared Moore’s show to ‘becoming stuck at Thanksgiving supper with
a time-sucking, self-regarding, garrulous uncle.’
Michael has been an outspoken Trump critic. Last
August, he led the Broadway show's audience to the Trump Tower, so they could
protest Trump’s reaction to violence in Charlottesville. The same evening,
during a CNN interview, he compared Trump’s supporters to rape accomplices.
According to Moore at the time, if you hold down a
woman while a rapist is raping her, and you did not rape her yourself, are you
a rapist? He added, ‘let us cut the BS and begin to speak honestly.’
Moore, this week, said to the Wall Street Journal within
an email that his show was the most artistically gratifying experience of his
life and there were discussions on taking the show on the road.
