United States President Donald Trump during a recent war of words with filmmaker Michael Moore called his Broadway show a "total bomb".

Trump took to his Twitter page to hurl insult at the filmmaker's show and said, "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!"

Oscar-winning film-maker shut down his show 'The Terms of My Surrender' last weekend, citing the reason being commitments to a new movie and an "upcoming prime time TV series.

In response to the President's tweet, the filmmaker tweeted back, "You must have my smash hit of a Broadway show confused with your presidency-- which IS a total bomb and WILL indeed close early. NOT SAD."

Though Trump went silent on Twitter after his one tweet, Moore tweeted a trail of eleven tweets.

Moore had recently announced that he would bring a surprise documentary called 'Michael Moore in Trumpland' to the big screen.

The official description of the documentary reads, "See the film Ohio Republicans tried to shut down. Oscar-winner Michael Moore dives right into hostile territory with his daring and hilarious one-man show, deep in the heart of TrumpLand in the weeks before the 2016 election.
