It's no secret that Hollywood stars are no fans of Donald Trump, with director and political activist Michael Moore being at the top of the list. After Moore's latest show on Broadway came to a close, the president was quick to comment.
Trump on Moore
For the better part of the last three decades, Michael Moore has been one of the most outspoken voices when it comes to political activism in Hollywood. From documentaries like "Roger and Me," "Sicko," Fahrenheit 9/11," and "Bowling of Columbine," Moore has never held back from expressing his liberal views, which have landed him on the award stage for his film making.
Despite his popularity among most on the political left, Republicans, conservatives, and the right-wing media have branded Moore one of their top targets, typically dismissing his arguments as nothing more than left-wing talking points and "liberal media" nonsense. Since the start of the 2016 presidential election, Moore has expressed his staunch opposition to Donald Trump, which has only increased since Election Day when the former host of "The Apprentice" upset Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. In the 10 months that Trump has been in office, Moore has joined millions of Americans in calling for the president to be impeached, which led to the start of his Broadway show "The Terms of My Surrender." As seen on his Twitter account on October 28, Trump a few words to say about Moore's show coming to an end.

"The Terms of My Surrender" brought in over $456,000 during it's first week, according to totals by Broadway World, but was unable to keep up those figures over the next three months.
With the one-man show ending, Donald Trump appears to have waited to give his thoughts at the right time, which was met with a predictable partisan reaction. As expected, liberals lashed out at Trump's remarks, with supporters of the president laughing along with him.
