Video Michael Moore supporting Trump, talking to a big crowd and telling them everything good Trump did for the middle and lower class.This is from an edited video made in 2016, criticizing Trump. I don’t really care if this was not really Moore's intent to praise Trump, it’s still edited perfectly, so why not use it with a disclaimer.
Fact Check: Is Michael Moore Supporting Donald Trump in Video?

Donald Trump's landslide victory in the Iowa caucuses has led many to believe the GOP primary is already sewn up.Trump's appeal has even appeared to convince left-wing documentary maker Michael Moore, who praised Trump in a widely viewed video clip shared on social media, calling him the "human Molotov cocktail" that voters wanted. A post on X, formerly Twitter, by MAGA account @Sadie_NC, on January 17, 2024, and viewed more than 719,000 times since, included a video in which Michael Moore spoke at length about Trump's appeal to voters. “During the clip, Moore said: "Donald Trump came to the Detroit Economic Club and stood there in front of the Ford Motor executives and said 'If you close these factories as you're planning to do in Detroit and build them in Mexico, I'm going to put a 35 percent tariff on those cars when you send it back and nobody's going to buy them, "It was an amazing thing to see…..
The Facts
Moore indeed delivered a speech in which he praised the rhetoric of Trump, arguing he empowered "dispossessed" American voters, and calling Trump "the man who has threatened to upend and overturn the very system that has ruined their lives." Moore also said his victory would be hated by "the elites," "the career politicians," and "the media…after they loved him," statements that echo some of Trump's campaigning.
Donald Trump posted a similar version of the clip on Truth Social in April 2023.However, the context of the video has been taken grossly out of context.First, it was filmed more than seven years ago. It is a truncated clip from the film Michael Moore in TrumpLand, a one-man show recorded in October 2016, in which he spoke about the presidential election and American political culture==. Filmed a few weeks before the 2016 election, it included but was not limited to discussions about Trump's campaign. Moore's show was not a celebration of Trump…Crucially, the clip shared on X also leaves out the rest of Moore's monologue in which he argues that Trump voters were being duped.
