Friends —
Before we get to the second round of your portraits of Donald Trump, let’s deal with this historic day that’s happening tomorrow, Saturday, April 5th:
Mass Protests All Across America!
Click here to find a protest near you.
Tomorrow (Saturday), Trump will learn what it means to win by a measly 1.61%. Spoiler alert: You don’t have a mandate. What you have is nearly half, or more than half, of the country taking to the streets to stop you.
We will not be ignored, we will not remain silent, and we will not sit idly by as Trump and Musk and this confederacy of dunces (or is it a confederacy of confederates? It’s hard to tell) bankrupt Social Security, tank the economy, kill Medicare and Medicaid, defund our teachers, destroy our safety net, attack our college students, and round up and deport our neighbors.
Everyone must be in the streets. Most of you live less than an hour or two (or a block or two) from where these protests are happening. Every major city in the country is holding a protest. Every major town, too! From the villages of Alaska to the hamlets of New England, from the county seats in the Deep Red South to township halls across the Upper Midwest… this protest is EVERYWHERE.
Grab a piece of poster board, make a sign, or print up one of these portraits below and glue it to some cardboard. We need everyone in the streets everywhere — lifting our voices so loudly together that the entire world will hear us. The local media, in the places that still have that, will cover this and the national media will be forced to follow suit.

Call your friends. Make a plan. Load up the kids. Hit the streets.
The people in charge don’t seem to be doing much to save us. But what else is new. We’re going to have to do this the way we’ve done everything else, the way we have always done it — by ourselves and together. There are more of us than there are of them. Don’t ever forget it.
And now…
As promised, I am including a second batch of the phenomenal portraits you’ve all been sending me of President Trump. The level of creativity and care you have shown in Trump’s desperate hour of need is breathtaking. He was so hurt and so vulnerable when he tweeted last week about wanting a new portrait — “Nobody likes a bad picture of themselves,” he cried — and you have all come through for him, offering him so many wonderful portraits to choose from — and I haven’t even had a chance to look at the ones that have come in so far today. So, here are another three dozen or so perfect portraits of the man who calls himself Donald and the Donald who calls himself “a man.”

** In order to have a troll-free, hate-free comments section — and because if there’s one thing I know about my crazy haters, they would rather spend an eternity in hell with Marjorie Taylor Greene than send me $5 if forced to become a paid subscriber — my Comments section here on my Substack is limited to paid subscribers. But, not to worry — anyone can send me their comments, opinions and thoughts by writing to me at mike@michaelmoore.com. I read every one of them, though obviously I can’t respond to all. The solution here is not optimal but it has worked and my Comments section has become a great meeting place for people wanting to discuss the ideas and issues I raise here. There is debate and disagreement, but it is refreshing to have it done with respect and civility, unfettered by the stench of bigotry and Q-anon insanity.
