Michael Moore tells Megyn Kelly it's hilarious Donald Trump is promoting his 'love poem' to Hillary

Last week, filmmaker Michael Moore released a secretly made movie urging voters — especially those in the white working class — to vote against Donald Trump. It received a surprising endorsement:

The (NSFW) clip Trump posted ends with Moore saying that voting for Donald Trump will feel good, but Moore told Megyn Kelly on Thursday that Trump cut off the rest of the sentence: "for a day, maybe a week," but then people will find out their life "probably will get worse," and in fact, "if we elect Donald Trump as president, it won't be the same country in four years, I'm absolutely convinced of that. This is the most vile, disgusting candidate that has ever run for office in this country."

Kelly noted that Moore, who understands the white working class, still pretty adroitly explained why that group is Trump's strongest demographic: because they want Trump to blow stuff up. "So I'm here, and I'm here on Fox, to appeal to people who are watching, to not do that," Moore said. "I understand why you're angry, you have every right to be angry, the system has failed you, but he is not the solution to this." His new film "is sort of a humorous love poem to Hillary Clinton," Moore said, and Kelly laughed, "I can hear the ticket sales now!" "Well, it's been No. 1 on iTunes since last Friday," Moore said. "Thanks to Trump!" Kelly interjected. "Obviously he didn't watch the movie," Moore noted. "If he'd watched the whole movie, he and Don Jr. wouldn't be promoting this, because the movie says get out there and vote for Hillary Clinton."

Kelly was curious about that, reminding Moore that he backed Bernie Sanders. "You seem to be, like, a reluctant Hillary supporter, am I wrong?" she asked. Moore said he was: "She voted for the war, I thought she was too cozy with Wall Street, I supported Bernie, I supported Obama eight years ago." But Clinton has long backed universal health care and will fix ObamaCare, he argued, and I "care about women should be paid the same as men, I care about the polar ice caps melting, I care about the big, big issues, and those are the ones you've to have the smart person in the room."
