Trump gave the middle finger Tuesday to a worker screaming "pedophile protector" during a tour at a Detroit factory.
Trump was touring a Ford F-150 plant in the Motor City just before his speech on the United States economy at the Detroit Economic Club when a worker started shouting at him as the president walked above the workers, TMZ reported.
In a video capturing the moment, Trump yelled back "F--- you!" He pointed his finger, then he switched to giving the bird.
The worker was calling Trump out for his association with Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted child sex offender a former friend who he said he cut ties and threw Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club when he had a falling out about poaching and recruiting his staff.

I dont know if he yelled "f you" and gave that guy the finger or not, but I wouldn't put it past him. That's DJT, staying classy as always.

(5,204 posts)Christians. They sure did love a good war movie, the more "action" the better. They were supportive of Lt Calley, hated that he was put on trial, and happy when President Nixon commuted his sentence for the My Lai massacre.
One thing that these good Christians would not tolerate was foul language.
Of course back then no politicians really cursed in public. There was Clayton Williams' rape joke, but he was just a good ol' boy, and rich too. Anyway, he lost the governor's race by 2 points.
I'm beginning to wonder if what these good Christians wouldn't tolerate wasn't bad language after all

AND DEMOCRATS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE ELITISTS???
Miles Archer
(22,186 posts)It seems to me that the ONLY "promise" Trump has kept from the 2024 campaign is to seek revenge against his enemies, real or imagined.
And somehow, that's enough to keep 1/3 of the country firmly rooted in the cult.
All of this from a guy who used to sell steaks on the Internet.

I wonder what that's about.
And of course Hair Furor's spokesman tried to claim that the employee was "shouting obscenities" and that the tiny-handed, tangerine man-baby's response was appropriate to the situation.
