Michael Moore says he wants the Trumps in 'orange jumpsuits'
Michael Moore has big dreams for 2019.
The Fahrenheit 11/9 filmmaker appeared on MSNBC’s All In With Chris Hayes on Friday and had a spirited answer when asked by Hayes what he is looking forward to in 2019.
“As many members of the Trump family in orange jumpsuits as possible,” said Moore, laughing. “It’s really the wrong way to end such a festive time of the year with such animosity toward those who would do wrong to this country, but yes [that’s my fantasy].”
Despite his dreams for 2019, Moore said he believes it’s unlikely the day will come when he’ll see Donald Trump behind bars.
“Trump got away with everything for, like, 40 years,” Moore said. “That streak shouldn’t end this year … because I think Trump has always been careful to be not in the room when the crime is being committed.”
Later on Twitter, Moore got even more creative with his comments. He retweeted a post that featured a Photoshopped President Trump scowling alongside son Donald Trump Jr., daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, all sporting classic orange prison jumpsuits and with their hands cuffed. “Here’s the visual for the New Year!” Moore tweeted.

Reactions to Moore’s comments have been mixed, particularly about those made about Ivanka Trump. Conservative online publication BizPacReview wrote that “leftists like Moore have been wailing over the plight of illegal immigrants who are ‘separated’ from their children because they broke U.S. immigration laws by entering the country unlawfully. The obtuse Michael Moore sees no irony in his mirthful wish that Ivanka gets separated from her three small children.”
