Michael Moore has recently come out with the rather shocking claim that the POTUS, Donald Trump, ran for the presidency because of Gwen Stefani. Moore's humor clearly coming through and being a humorist at heart he also 'believes' that one of the persons responsible for Trump's decision is the singer. The 'Fahrenheit 11/9' director came out with his alleged claims in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, saying that 72-year-old president had decided to run for the office only upon learning that Stefani had made more money as a coach on NBC's 'The Voice', than he had been able to when he starred in The Apprentice. 

NBC had begun airing the Apprentice in 2004, and Moore, 64, claimed that the whole idea behind organizing the infamous Trump Tower campaign was the sitting president's way of showing NBC that he was more popular.
