(23,408 posts)Whereas Trump was emotional and upset because a peasant pierced his royal bubble and made him sad about his longstanding relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
FWIW, a White House spokesperson called Trump's response "appropriate."

(2,825 posts)"TJ Sabula, a Ford worker, was suspended from his job after heckling President Donald Trump during a visit to a Ford plant in Michigan. Following this incident, a GoFundMe page was created to raise funds for him, aiming to support his financial needs while he awaits an investigation. As of now, the fundraiser has raised over $130,000 in donations, reflecting the public's support for Sabula and his actions during the event."

(17,338 posts)he's more than likely on Trump's "hit list" from here on in. I guess freedom of speech has completely flown out the window for us peons, but it's OK for the so-called president to yell FU to someone.
We can only hope that whoever suspended him did it with a wink and a nod, though I do know quite a few people who work the line at Ford(s) who were tea party followers and now MAGAts. I could never square the fact that they are UAW and enjoy good benefits and forget that it's the Democratic Party who fights for them to unionize.
P.S. to add - the term "Fords" is how Michiganders refer to it, as they do a lot of company names such as Meijer(s), Kmart(s), etc.

But we're dealing with someone who is hardly secure with himself and totally not self-assured.

(419 posts)The worker: suspended - likely for violating decorum.
The president is held to no such (or any) standards.
Ya know; both sides.... /s

He completes them and they complete him--making both of them complete [REDACTED]

The slowly developing civil war, the threatened war over Greenland, nope, Epstein will still be there.
I'm waiting for an insider to release some juicy unredacted Epstein documents . . .
