Micheal Moore, the prolific filmmaker known for his well-researched documentaries like “Roger and Me” and “Fahrenheit 9/11” won’t be making another one anytime soon, it seems.
The American Filmmaking Council, which usually helps provide funding, equipment, and personnel for such non-fiction efforts has denied his claims this year following a request he served, amounting to over four million dollars.
Moore’s movie, which was preparing to be titled: “The Trump Trainwreck” hasn’t begun production yet, despite Moore being out on the campaign trail constantly and doing research from out of his Chevrolet Astrovan.
“Yeah, we don’t have the kind of money he wants anymore for some crappy hitpiece,” says the Council’s Head Dick Joe Barron. “We’ve let him go. He can fund his own nonsense. Especially if it’s about Trump. We love that guy!”
That’s certainly going to be a tough road to hoe for the 70-year old director, who has made sly allegations that he’ll manage to get Trump himself to fund it.
“I figure I’ll just tell him I’m going to print him out a few thousand ‘Trump Diapers’ with his face on them. He’ll sell that shit straight to his cult. Boom. Money.”
Moore may be right. But that’s okay. Another member of the Council spoke to us definitively about funding his films : 2000 Mules’s Dinesh D’Souza:
“What I do is give speeches all the time where I tell them that Trump has a time machine to take them back to the 50’s before they die, and they pay me. It’s really easy!”
