Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Moore ? President Donald Trump took on one his most vocal celebrity critics Saturday in a message posted to his Twitter account   calling filmmaker Michael Moore’s  anti-Trump summer Broadway show a “total bomb” that was “forced to close.”
“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!” Trump tweeted Saturday evening about  Moore’s  show.
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! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 28  2017
Trump was  of course  referring to  Moore ’s Broadway show The Terms of My Surrender  a play in which the filmmaker took aim at Trump and his policies and often brought out celebrity guests to help bash the president. The play opened in late summer and ran for twelve weeks at New York City’s Belasco Theater.
The show was also mostly panned by critics  with one Los Angeles Times reviewer calling it a “support group for disheartened Democrats ” and one in which  Moore  casts  himself  both as a “victim of the right” and a “champion of all mankind.”
 Moore  fired back at the president Saturday in a series of tweets  explaining that the show had always been intended to play as a limited engagement and saying at least one senior member of Trump’s White House was a fan of the filmmaker’s.
“You must have my smash hit of a Broadway show confused with your presidency- which IS a total bomb and WILL indeed close early. NOT SAD ”  Moore  wrote in the first of eleven messages.
 Moore  also suggested that Trump was using the play as  his  “latest distraction” from  his  “crimes ” and called the president a “loser.”
“For now  at least  I know I still have one fan in the White House (thx for your unwavering support Jared!)”  he  concluded  his  tweets.

During one August performance   Moore  took the audience that had come to see him that night on a pair of double-decker buses to a protest outside Trump Tower  where he was joined by celebrities including Mark Ruffalo and Olivia Wilde.
 Moore  told the audience at the protest that the group was there to perform a “citizen’s arrest.”
