Michael Moore is sharing some hopeful predictions as presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris prepare to debate.

In a Guardian story published Thursday, the Fahrenheit 9/11 director suggested that the GOP nominee could struggle when facing the Democratic vice president onstage.

I think Im going to see what I was hoping for for eight years, he told the Guardian. Once anybody gets under that thin skin anything can happen. On live TV? Trump could explode, start talking like a 12-year-old, though no offense to 12-year-olds, or get up and leave.

And Moore suggested that the Democrats strategy of branding Trump weird is a winner.

Do weird and cringe until the debate and then nail him, he told the Guardian. But nail him with irony, satire and a simple way to point out the beyond weird absolute idiocy and insanity of what these two men [Trump and running mate JD Vance ] are talking about.

Still, Moore urged Harris campaign to focus on critical issues for voters, like affordable housing and the dying planet. He also noted the importance of Israels war in Gaza.

The boomers may not be the No 1 voters in this election, he told the Guardian. And thats why Gaza is so important. Young people hate war and theyre totally against [President Joe] Biden and his support of the war .
