The recording of this music video by one of my favorite bands of the 90s forced the New York Stock Exchange to close in 2000. It’s been almost 19 years since Rage Against The Machine teamed up with documentarian and political activist Michael Moore for this video.

The band – Zack de la Rocha, Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk – all climb the steps of Federal Hall National Memorial and begin to play.

There’s a man walking around with a ‘Donald Trump For President 2000’ placard. Who, in their right mind, would elect him into office?

The «funny» thing is that in 2000 also the Simpsons «predicted» Trump as president.

The Simpsons Episode from the year 2000

But back to Michael Moore: His latest political documentary  released in September 2018 is about the 2016 United States presidential election and the subsequent presidency of Donald Trump. The film had its world premiere at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.

Have you seen it? What do you think?
