Michael Moore on Trump: His dementia is so bad he’s reusing nicknames

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore called President Trump out on Friday for dubbing Stephen Bannon as “sloppy,” since he also referred to Moore as “sloppy” in a tweet last year.

“Wait! @realDonaldTrump – On Oct 28 you gave ME the nickname “Sloppy Michael Moore” in one of your crazed tweets. Using the same nickname for TWO people…another sign of dementia! Unfit to serve!” Moore tweeted.

While not at all presidential I must point out that the Sloppy Michael Moore Show on Broadway was a TOTAL BOMB and was forced to close. Sad!

Moore went on to bring up the nickname in two other tweets.

You know Trump’s not right in the head when he gives me my own nickname, then forgets, then gives Steve Bannon the same nickname. https://t.co/HcgdiXFjL0

Where does Trump get off plagiarizing himself by calling Bannon “Sloppy Steve” after first calling me “Sloppy Michael Moore” back in October? Does Bannon realize he’s really the sloppy seconds? That I’m the original “Sloppy Mike?” This whole thing is all pretty damn sloppy. pic.twitter.com/3CIXdaL9sY

Moore’s tweets come after Trump dubbed Bannon as “Sloppy Steve Bannon” on Twitter after Bannon was quoted criticizing the Trump administration and members of Trump’s family in author Michael Wolff’s explosive new book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.”

I authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many times) for author of phony book! I never spoke to him for book. Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don’t exist. Look at this guy’s past and watch what happens to him and Sloppy Steve!
