There is no doubt that filmmaker Michael Moore s latest claim will grab some attention.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter posted Wednesday, the filmmaker said that Donald Trump s jealousy of singer Gwen Stefani led him to run for president.

Moore told the trade publication that when Trump learned Stefanis performance fees as a coach on NBCs The Voice were greater than what he earned for The Apprentice on the same network, he staged his Trump Tower campaign announcement in June 2015 to show NBC how popular he was. Trump memorably began the event by descending the buildings escalator.

Hed been talking about running for president since 1988, but he didnt really want to be president, Moore said. Theres no penthouse in the White House. And he doesnt want to live in a black city. He was trying to pit NBC against another network, but it just went off the rails.
