PLAN B: After you have met Him and you now have a personal relationship with Him; this life should be distinctly different from your Plan A. It is my belief that your Plan A is where Satan attacks you...

Description
A provocative and comedic portrait of Donald Trump as a bully, a liar, a racist, a hedonist, a father with a creepy closeness to his daughter Ivanka and a man who doesn't even try to hide his baser instincts. The way that Michael Moore sees it, Trump runs his country like one of his corporations, like a dictatorship. Cross him and it's firing time. He even compares Trump to Hitler, dubbing the President's own words into the Fuhrer's mouth.
