President Trump's latest Twitter target is filmmaker Michael Moore, who is calling himself the president's "latest distraction."

Moore's social media war of words with POTUS comes after a Trump post on Saturday. As if throwing down the gauntlet, Trump tweeted: “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's seemingly random Twitter poke at Moore came several days after The Terms of My Surrender ended its previously announced limited Broadway run on Oct. 22 but just a day after news that a grand jury OK'd the first charges in the investigation being led by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russia's interference in the presidential election.

On Saturday, Moore was willing to pick up the challenge, saying the Trump presidency was a "total bomb," and referencing the pending indictments.

Playbill, which writes that Moore's show was the highest-grossing among the non-musical plays that opened this summer, says the anti-Trump production examined America’s current political and cultural landscape.

In August, Moore led the show’s audience to Trump Tower in New York to protest the president’s reaction to deadly violence in Charlottesville, Va.
