Michael Moore Thinks He Can ‘Bring Down’ Trump From A Broadway Stage

Filmmaker and liberal provocateur Michael Moore believes his new solo Broadway show will help the #Resistance make Donald Trump a one-term president.

If Moore and his fellow “army of satirists” are successful, he says, Trump won’t even make it to 2020.

“It’s a 12 week limited run,” Moore told Variety. “I would like Trump to have the same thing. I really am in a take-no-prisoners mode right now.”

Moore is billing the show, “Michael Moore on Broadway: The Terms of My Surrender,” as different from the one-man performance on which the film “Michael Moore in Trumpland” is based. He plans to riff on news of the day and occasionally incorporate guest appearances, Variety reports.

“Terms of My Surrender,” which starts preview performances July 28 prior to an Aug. 10 opening, aims to make good on Moore’s previous assertion that comedians will hound Trump out of office. He predicted in February the president would be unable to withstand public ridicule from an “Army of Comedy.”

“As I’ve said many times, it will be an Army of Comedy that brings him down. His skin is so thin, he can’t handle the humor or the ridicule,” Moore tweeted.

Moore reiterated those comments Monday, telling Variety that satire will sink the administration.

“We need an army of satirists,” he said. “His [Trump’s] Achilles heel is his very, very thin skin.”

The Michigan native has been one of Trump’s most relentless critics, but in the wake of the 2016 election, he pushed back against the charge that Trump won because of racial animus among working class voters.

“You have to accept that millions of people who voted for Barack Obama, some of them once, some of them twice, changed their minds this time. They’re not racist,” he said on a post-election segment of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“They twice voted for a man whose middle name is Hussein. That’s the America you live in.”

Moore predicted before the election that Trump would win the presidency by flipping Rust Belt states that had gone for former President Barack Obama, which is exactly what happened.

Since then, he has claimed that Trump will declare a war that “will get us all killed,” ban all Muslims from the U.S., and, most recently, be impeached during his second term in office.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
