Michael Moore: 'Donald Trump is gonna get us killed'
The Oscar-winning filmmaker posted a note on his Facebook Tuesday searingly titled, "Donald Trump Is Gonna Get Us Killed," in which he blasts the president-elect for, among other things, failing to attend most of his daily security briefings. Trump has said he doesn't need the briefings every day because he's a "smart person."
"Most would agree the #1 job of the leader of any country is to keep its people safe," Moore wrote. "There is no more important meeting every day for the President than the one where he learns what the day's potential threats are to the country. That Trump would find it too cumbersome or too annoying to have to sit through 20 minutes of listening to his top intelligence people tell him who's trying to kill us today, simply boggles the mind."
Moore went on to slam Trump for using time to tweet insults rather than spend it on national security concerns. He also made another prediction (he correctly predicted that Trump would win the election and how) about what would happen in the event of a terrorist attack under President Trump:
Moore compared Trump skipping security briefings to what he sees as George W. Bush's failure to do something stronger about the threat of Osama bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks.
"It's one thing to have a president who was asleep at the wheel. But, my friends, it's a whole other thing to now have a president-elect who REFUSES TO EVEN GET BEHIND THE WHEEL!" he wrote.
