Michael Moore has issued a blatant warning about the 2024 election, saying that Donald Trump is “smarter than” Democrats. During the latest episode of his Rumble podcast on Sunday, the director called a victory for Trump in 2024’s general election a “legitimate fear.” Michael Moore dialed up the urgency of a possible Joe Biden defeat ― and he did it by offering backhanded praise to Biden’s criminally indicted GOP adversary, Donald Trump.

“We don’t want to say this out loud, but I’m going to say it, and the reason why we need to be concerned is that Trump is smarter than us,” the Oscar-winning documentarian said on the latest episode of his “Rumble” podcast, which was released Sunday. “I’ll just let that sink in for a second. I know, I know, you’re calling the people to come to find me — the guys in the white uniforms with the big net — and take me away. Are you crazy? What do you mean he’s smarter than us?”

Moore characterized the Trump as someone who has “been able to pull s*** off and get away with it” throughout his life, remarking, “It is an impressive track record.”

“I’m talking about the way throughout his entire life he’s been able to pull shit off and get away with it,” the “Bowling for Columbine” director said. “It is an amazing record. You know the record. I’m not going to run through the whole litany of it … You know the whole list, and he’s gotten away with it. You must marvel at how somebody that stupid is that smart when it comes to the performance of his evil and his ability to never have to pay for it.”

Moore, who famously predicted Trump’s victory in 2016, has also forecasted that Trump will be able to resolve his legal problems before the big day in November.

The filmmaker accused Trump of attempting to postpone his impending trials until after the November election. Trump faces a total of 91 criminal charges across four jurisdictions, with some related to the 2020 election.

Should Trump secure another term as president, a Supreme Court dominated by Republicans will most likely pardon his convictions.

“The only thing that can save us is ourselves,” he said. “We are going to have to mobilize.”
