Michael Moore has claimed that Trump is an 'evil genius' who deliberately arranged last month's New York Times op-ed which described a resistance movement within the White House.
The filmmaker, whose documentary on the rise of Trump titled Fahrenheit 11/9 comes out on Thursday, said he fears the president will win a second term.
'He could win again,' Moore told CNN. 'I operate as if he is a two-term Trump. I have to. If you think any other way you are guaranteeing that whoever is going to run against him will lose.'

Last month's New York Times op-ed by an anonymous person within the administration called Trump 'immoral'
Talking about how Trump beat Hillary Clinton despite winning 2.8million fewer votes, he added: 'I think the man is an evil genius and he was able to outsmart the smartest person ever to run for president. He figured out how to win by losing the election.'
Last month's New York Times op-ed by an anonymous person within the administration called Trump 'immoral' and said that senior members were trying everything they can to guide him in the right direction.
There was widespread speculation about who wrote it, with suggestions ranging from Jared Kushner to Mike Pence. Trump was said to be 'obsessed' with finding the culprit.
But Moore thinks he deliberately arranged for it to be written as a distraction tactic.
Moore told CNN: 'Trump wrote it. Trump or one of his minions wrote it. He's the master distractor. He's the king of the misdirect.'

Sleuths honed in on the word 'lodestar,' a favorite of the vice president. The op-ed's author described the late Sen. John McCain as 'a lodestar for restoring honor to public life and our national dialogue.'
Others suggested the word, which means the guiding star of a ship, could have been deliberately included to throw journalists off the scent.
This was the verdict of a senior White House official who spoke to Dailymail.com. He said suspicion is not focused on him or anyone in his office following a frank discussion among the VP's senior staff.
Pence has never criticized Trump in public. Writing the op-ed would almost certainly scuttle any future bid for high office. And his communications director has publicly denied it, saying Pence would always sign his own work.
Stephen Ford
If 'lodestar' was not an intentional red herring, others speculated, suspicion could fall on Pence's speechwriter.
But the VP's use of the word dates back to at least 2001. Ford, a youngish rising star in Washington's conservative circles, was in the third grade that year.
Mattis gestures during a press briefing at the Pentagon on May 19, 2017
James Mattis - DENIES IT
The Secretary of Defense, despite being a Trump favorite, has repeatedly sounded at odds with the commander-in-chief while discussing NATO, Russia and military strategy.
During one episode in Bob Woodward's recent book, 'Fear,' Trump questioned the ability of U.S. early warning systems in Alaska to identify a nuclear attack from North Korea.
Mattis is said to have schooled him. 'We're doing this in order to prevent World War III,' he reportedly said.
The Pentagon chief reportedly told colleagues after the incident that Trump had the mental ability of 'a fifth- or sixth-grader.'
Mattis has denied the account, saying in a statement: 'The contemptuous words about the President attributed to me in Woodward's book were never uttered by me or in my presence.'
A Pentagon spokesperson denied he wrote the Times piece. 'It was not his op-ed,' spokesperson Dana White said.

The White House chief of staff was also quoted in Woodward's book as having called Trump an 'idiot.'
'It's pointless to try to convince him of anything. He's gone off the rails,' he allegedly said.
'We're in Crazytown. I don't even know why any of us are here. This is the worst job I've ever had.'
Kelly denied making the claims, in a statement put out by the White House.
'The idea that I ever called the President is not true, in fact it's exactly the opposite,' he said. 'This is both a pathetic attempt to smear people close to President Trump and distract from his many successes.'
Sessions speaks about immigration and law enforcement at Lackawanna College on June 15, 2018
Jeff Sessions - DENIES IT
The attorney general has a motive to shiv his boss after Trump repeatedly chastized him in public for recusing himself from the Russia investigation.
And he has let loose on Sessions over charges the Department of Justice brought against two sitting Republican members of Congress, complaining the indictments handicapped the incumbents and jeopardized the GOP's ability to retain its majority in the House.
The president also compared Sessions unfavorably to the FBI director he fired, 'Lyin' James Comey,' saying they had become martyrs to the same lawmakers who despised them after resisting orders from the president.
Woodward writes that Sessions called Trump 'mentally retarded,' something that also met a stern denial.
A Justice Department spokesperson denies Sessions wrote the NYT op-ed.
Coats addresses the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado on July 19
Dan Coats - DENIES IT
The director of national intelligence has also veered from Trump loyal line.
Told of the president's plan to invite Vladimir Putin to the White House, Coats enraged the president by snarking: 'That is going to be special.'
He later 'clarified' his comments, made during an interview at the Aspen Institute security forum in Colorado, by saying his response 'was in no way meant to be disrespectful or criticize the actions of the president.'
Trump drew heavy criticism from both Republicans and Democrats over his summit with Putin in Helsinki, Finland, where he seemed reluctant to blame Russia for meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Coats put out a statement denying either he or his deputy wrote the piece.
McGahn is interviewed at a conference in Gaylord, Maryland, on February 22
Don McGahn
The White House counsel is planning to leave the White House in the fall, so he may not fear the consequences of exposure as a secret anti-Trumper.
He has also clashed with the president in the past.
This includes declining an order to fire Robert Mueller, who is overseeing the Russia investigation that Trump describes as a 'witch hunt.'
McGahn risked the president's anger by spending 30 hours in interviews with Mueller's team, over three separate occasions.
Melania and Ivanka watch on ahead of the first debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in Hempstead, New York
Melania or Ivanka? - MELANIA DENIED
The first lady is an unlikely candidate for authorship of the Times essay.
Twitter commenters noted she had already been accused of telegraphing coded messages publicly hinting at opposition to her husband's policies.
This included wearing a jacket saying 'I really don't care, do u?' when visiting shelters for illegal immigrant children.
Melania Trump denied authorship Thursday, saying in a statement: 'To the writer of the oped – you are not protecting this country, you are sabotaging it with your cowardly actions.'
Ivanka Trump has previously said she would work to ensure her voice is heard via her father's policies but has seemingly failed to do so – particularly in the case of family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border, which she 'vehemently' opposed.
Her husband Jared is a senior adviser and also could be involved, but it's a long shot that anyone in Trump's family would sell him out.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
