“It’s going to be the Brexit strategy,” Moore said. “The middle of England is Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and Mitt Romney lost by 64 electoral votes the total electoral votes of those four states in the Rust Belt — 64.”

Michael Moore believes that all Trump has to do is win those four states and that his message to the Ford workers during the primary season that he would tariff Ford cars until they brought the plant back to Michigan resonated with voters.

He said, “I’m telling you right now they moved this factory to Mexico. I’m putting a tariff on the cars, and that’s it.’ And it was music to people’s ears. And more people in the Michigan primary voted Republican than Democrat in the primary this year. That should be disturbing to everybody.”
