Donald Trump was involved in a controversial moment during a visit to a Ford factory in Michigan, after a worker verbally accused him of being a “protector of a pedophile”. The episode was recorded on video and quickly began to circulate on social media.
In the images, initially released by the website TMZ, it is possible to see the North American president reacting to the insult with an obscene gesture and directing offensive words at the employee, while touring the industrial facilities accompanied by his entourage.
Following the incident, the White House came to Trump’s defense, considering that the reaction was “appropriate and unequivocal”. Ford, on the other hand, chose to suspend the worker involved, highlighting that the behavior is not aligned with the company’s values.
According to the same source, the comment made by the worker may be related to the case of Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who maintained links with several influential figures worldwide.
Am I crazy or did Trump just flip off some hecklers? 😂
