Michael Moore says 'there is one person that would crush Trump': Michelle Obama

Though the former first lady has repeatedly dismissed speculation that she’d run for political office, both in interviews and her 2018 memoir, Becoming, Moore told MSNBC’s Brian Williams Wednesday night that he sees her as the “one person that would crush Trump” in 2020.

“Everybody watching this right now knows she is a beloved American, and she would go in there, and she would beat him,” the filmmaker said. “She’d beat him in the debates, he wouldn’t be able to bully her, he wouldn’t be able to nickname her ... and she is beloved.

“Just go to C-SPAN and follow her book tour across the country,” he continued. “She’s playing 15,000-seat arenas in the Midwest. They have to turn people away. She takes the stage and she’s so powerful and so good. You just look at that and you think, ‘Of course. She could win.’"
