Michael Moore plans to try to “bring down” President Donald Trump via a Broadway show.
On Monday, The New York Times reported that the 62-year-old filmmaker has announced plans to create a one-man show called “The Terms of My Surrender” to run “eight times a week, for 12 weeks,” with the purpose of attempting to take down the president.

“It’s a humorous play about a country that’s just elected a madman — I mean, there’s really no other way to put it,” Moore explained about the production.
“Can something like this unravel an unhinged man,” he added. “I think that discombobulation might be our most effective path to undoing his presidency.”
Moore said the plan is not to make a stand-up comedy show or TED Talk, but a show based off what’s happening in the news and “a piece of entertainment for people who like to think.”
“I think people will find themselves laughing one minute and wanting to go look for some pitchforks and torches the next,” Moore said.
The filmmaker has been very outspoken against Trump His last few attempts to “take down Trump” include: encouraging people to “disrupt” his inauguration, demanding Democrats “declare a National Emergency” over alleged ties between Trump campaign and Russia, and launching a website with the sole purpose of getting Trump removed from office.
