Lots of Republicans Are Comparing Trump to Michael Moore, and Moore Is Loving It

Donald Trump‘s attacks on George W. Bush over Iraq and 9/11 have kicked off a round of Republicans comparing the GOP frontrunner to Michael Moore.

And Michael Moore is loving it.

Just to recap, in the past few days, Trump has lashed out at Bush for not just getting America into a huge mess of a war in Iraq, but for not keeping the country safe on 9/11.

The Daily Caller’s Jamie Weinstein wrote after the GOP debate that Trump had his Michael Moore moment, which spurred on a bunch of major Republicans to say the same. Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, and Lindsey Graham have all said in the past day that Trump sounds a lot like Moore.

Moore responded with great delight that he’s been invoked in an intra-GOP fight:

Geez, I don't make a movie for 6 yrs & 1 day after my new movie's opening wknd the Republican candidates for Prez use me 2 attack Trump. Ha!
