"Michael Moore: So I read where like the Saudis have a trillion dollars in our banks of their money. What would happen if like one day they just pulled that trillion dollars out?" --- I haven't seen the movie, but doesn't "Saudis" refer to the House of Saud, not people who live in Saudi Arabia? It's like using the word "Kremlin." It doesn't mean "the Russians."

====================

It does if you want to impute to a film maker or writer a position they do not hold in order to engage in point scoring.
