Filmmaker Michael Moore is mad at Trump, but its not for the reason you’d expect.
Looks like Trump is plagiarizing himself, giving a nickname to Steve Bannon that he’d already assigned to Michael Moore. Here are the receipts to prove it.
Trump dubbed Moore “Sloppy” back in October, apparently in connection to Moore’s Broadway ambitions, revealing heretofore unknown theater critic credentials. Was Trump giving notes on the production? “Needs a real 11 o’ clock number to wake things up and the blocking is sloppy! Sloppy Michael Moore!”
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!

Moore doesn’t forget a nickname and called out the President for the repetition on Twitter, chalking it up to Trump’s possible undiagnosed dementia.
You know Trump’s not right in the head when he gives me my own nickname, then forgets, then gives Steve Bannon the same nickname. https://t.co/HcgdiXFjL0

Then Moore doubled down, calling the whole thing sloppy.
Where does Trump get off plagiarizing himself by calling Bannon “Sloppy Steve” after first calling me “Sloppy Michael Moore” back in October? Does Bannon realize he’s really the sloppy seconds? That I’m the original “Sloppy Mike?” This whole thing is all pretty damn sloppy. pic.twitter.com/3CIXdaL9sY

Trump dubbed Bannon “Sloppy Steve” in an effort to distance himself from his former campaign advisor following revelations in Michael Wolff’s blockbuster tell all book, “Fire and Fury.” Bannon is alleged to have given extensive interviews for the book, containing some of the most damning revelations.

Trump has been slamming Bannon in the news all week in response, coining the “Sloppy Steve” moniker on Twitter yesterday.
I authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many times) for author of phony book! I never spoke to him for book. Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don’t exist. Look at this guy’s past and watch what happens to him and Sloppy Steve!

Just to get some brand recognition out there, Trump re-upped his use of “Sloppy Steve” this morning.
The Mercer Family recently dumped the leaker known as Sloppy Steve Bannon. Smart!

Maybe Michael Moore is right. If Trump is already recycling nicknames, he must really be running out of intellectual steam. Not that it seems like he had all that much to begin with. But if he can’t even muster the energy to come up with new insults, his mental fitness must really be in bad shape.
