Trump appears to flip off Ford worker calling him a ‘pedophile protector’
White House calls Trump’s middle finger gesture an 'appropriate response' to a heckler during a Michigan Ford plant tour amid ongoing Epstein file scrutiny.
- On Jan 13, 2026, President Donald Trump raised his middle finger and appeared to mouth an expletive while touring the Ford F-150 assembly plant in Dearborn, Michigan, in a TMZ video the White House did not dispute.
- During the tour, a worker on the floor shouted a remark that referenced Jeffrey Epstein and the missing records, accusing Trump of protecting Epstein amid the U.S. Department of Justice's missed Dec 19 deadline to release files.
- White House Communications Director Steven Cheung defended the president's reaction, calling the worker "a lunatic" who was "wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage" and describing the response as "appropriate."
- Ford Motor Company and UAW Local 600 confirm the worker faces suspension pending investigation, while U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell and union officials question the disciplinary action as the worker says he has no regrets.
- The plant tour was billed as part of Trump's push to showcase U.S. manufacturing ahead of 2026, including a speech at the Detroit Economic Club in key battleground Michigan.
