US EditionWhite House Says Trump Had "Appropriate" Reaction After He Appeared to Flip Off a Heckler and Mouth "F*** You"
President Trump responded to a heckler at the Ford plant with a middle finger and expletive, which the White House called an appropriate response amid a tense exchange.
- Tuesday in Dearborn, President Donald Trump gave the middle finger to a worker during a Ford F-150 plant tour, mouthing an expletive and pointing at the heckler as he walked away.
- TMZ posted a cellphone clip showing a worker called him `pedophile protector,` referencing Jeffrey Epstein files and a Justice Department release missed by last month's deadline.
- During the tour, Mr. Trump was joined by Bill Ford, Executive Chairman, Ford Motor Company, and Jim Farley, President and CEO, Ford Motor Company, and Ford Motor Company spokespersons said the visit went generally very well and praised employees.
- The White House defended the president, with Steven Cheung calling his response `appropriate and unambiguous`, while Curtis Hertel criticized Trump for telling an autoworker to f--- off amid economic pressure.
- The heckler's reference connects to lingering controversy over Jeffrey Epstein files and the Justice Department's missed deadline, while U.S. manufacturing jobs declined tens of thousands this year, complicating President Donald Trump's standing.
