Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore is continuing to beat his very public drum against Republican President Donald Trump — and this time he's up in arms over Trump's decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which delays deportations for young illegal immigrants.
On Monday, Moore posted the following to Facebook: "Our voices must be loud tomorrow should Trump do what they say he's going to do. He's shameless and without a conscience. My heart goes out to all who fear him tonight. We will find a way to protect you."
Moore then posted on Twitter following Trump's DACA decision Tuesday, calling for action:
But the social media message from Moore that struck the biggest nerve was his Facebook post Tuesday — and it was, of all things, a quotation attributed to iconic non-violence advocate Mohandas Gandhi.
It read: "Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall...Always."
Moore's post has received 25,000 "likes" along with other reactions as of Thursday morning — and many commenters latched on to Moore's apparent characterization of Trump as a tyrant and murderer and relished how he might "fall."
"I'm about ready to create Voodoo dolls of Trump and his ENTIRE wack ass Administration," one commenter noted.
"Truth! This tiny little minded man we have in the White House will fall, hopefully, hard. Justice will be done when our President, Vice President, his chronies [sic] and especially his children are all walked out of the White House in handcuffs," another commenter noted. "If it is a charge of Treason then they should all lose their citizenship and can go live with the Russians. Orange jumpsuit for the orange man."
"I pray the fall is coming quickly," another commenter wrote. "Our country suffers. People suffering and afraid."
Yet another commenter added: "...need to get a firm time line on that fall, cuz this ass hat of a human is going to get us into a nuclear war on his way down. Awful, I am sick to my stomach every day."
While the vast majority of commenters supported Moore's post, there were a few detractors.
"One of the mistakes the left is making now is calling Trump all sorts of names for doing what he was elected to do," one commenter added. "Acting like Trump is Hitler when he is doing a pretty good job is going to cost the left the next election."
Another concurred: "Michael spends a lot of time attacking Trump, but he never attacks Trump voters because he knows who they are and what they think. He knows why Trump won.....and why he will win again."
