Michael Moore brands Trump a “wretched, ignorant, dangerous, part-time clown and full-time sociopath”
The film director predicts the Donald will become president of the United States in inflammatory open letter
FILM director Michael Moore says he thinks Donald Trump is set to be the next president of the United States.
In an open letter he asked voters to consider this was a very serious possibility and branded the billionaire a "wretched, ignorant, dangerous part-time clown and full-time sociopath."
Moore, who is known for his film documentaries Fahrenheit 9/11 and Where To Invade Next, said there were five reasons why "President Trump" was likely to win the race to the White House over Hillary Clinton.
Moore posted it on his and added it would the USA's very own Brexit moment.
He said Trump would bank on votes in the Midwest, the ongoing debacle concerning emails which was Clinton's baggage.
The billionaire would also score with anti-feminist voters, and some of Bernie Samders' supporters, despite supporting Clinton, would not bring more voters with them.
He added people would vote for Trump "not because they agree with him, not because they like his bigotry or ego, but just because they can."
Moore first spoke out on Wednesday when he was appearing on HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher.
He said: "I'm sorry I have to be the buzzkill so early on, but I think Trump is going to win."
Moore repeated his prediction on his website, writing: 'This wretched, ignorant, dangerous part-time clown and full time sociopath is going to be our next president. President Trump."
He asked his readers to believe this was a very real possibility and added: "Never in my life have I wanted to be proven wrong more than I do right now."
The Sanders supporter outlined his five arguments to support why he believed this was going to come to pass.
Called: "Midwest Math, Or Welcome To Our Rust Belt Brexit" he theorised that states like Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which have had Republican governors in recent years.
Moore said Trump would attack Clinton on her free trade policies, which have "royally screwed the people of these four states."
And he said it was similar to "the middle of England - broken, depressed, struggling."
Then all he needed to do was get the vote in the traditional red states, as well as get support from the "angry white man."
He predicted they would think: "'Our male-dominated, 240-year run of the USA is coming to an end. A woman is about to take over! How did this happen?! On our watch!' That's a small peek into the mind of the Endangered White Male.
"There is a sense that the power has slipped out of their hands, that their way of doing things is no longer how things are done."
Moore said while he liked Clinton "a lot" he was reluctant to vote for her, due to her baggage and past decisions.
The director said in his open letter he liked the Democrat candidate 'a lot' but also admitted that some of her past decisions have kept him from voting for her again so far.

Moore added she made him think of: "the old way of politics, not really believing in anything other than what can get you elected."
And her unpopularity has left the field wide open for Trump when the election comes in November.
This means Sanders' backers are unlikely to recruit more supporters for Clinton, as they are unlikely to volunteer for her campaign or to talk about her with infectious enthusiasm, according to Moore.
And some voters will decide to vote for Trump once the privacy of the polling station gives them full free reign, Moore predicted.
He added: "Millions are going to vote for Trump not because they agree with him, not because they like his bigotry or ego, but just because they can.
"Just because it will upset the apple cart and make mommy and daddy mad. And in the same way like when you're standing on the edge of Niagara Falls and your mind wonders for a moment what would that feel like to go over that thing, a lot of people are going to love being in the position of puppet master and plunking down for Trump just to see what that might look like."
He finished his letter saying he would be following it up next week with what he considered were the billionaire businessman's weaknesses.
