Filmmaker Michael Moore stopped by Trump Tower on Saturday in hopes of meeting with President-elect Donald Trump.

“Mr. Trump. I’m here. I want to talk to you,” Moore wrote in a note left with a doorman, according to a pool report.


Moore, a liberal activist who predicted in July that Trump would win the election, walked into the lobby of the Manhattan building and home of the president-elect at 1:10 p.m., wearing a San Francisco 49ers cap.

The filmmaker said he "thought I’d see if I could get into Trump Tower and ride the famous escalator,” and he noted that a protest was happening outside the building. He also said he didn't "want the police to kick us out."

Also spotted separately by the pool at Trump Tower on Saturday: Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and former British UKIP party leader Nigel Farage.

Moore documented his visit on Facebook Live, as he headed toward the escalator.

“We’ll see — maybe if he’ll let me in his office,” Moore said. “I came last Saturday and talked to [campaign manager] Kellyanne Conway. It went well. They didn’t kick me out."

Moore made it up to the fourth floor before Secret Service told the filmmaker he could not go any higher. He tried to go up farther in an elevator but was denied.

Moore went back down the escalators to the lobby and again tried to use the elevator to go up. The doorman guarding the elevator did not let him through. He then left the note with the doorman to see Trump and left the building.
