Trump cursed and gave middle finger to Ford employee who called him "pedophile protector". VIDEO
US President Donald Trump reacted sharply to the words of a Ford factory worker who called him a "pedophile protector".
The video was published by TMZ, reports Censor.NET.
What is known?
During a visit to a Ford factory in Michigan, one of the employees shouted "Pedophile protector!" at the US president.
Journalists speculated that this was likely a reference to Trump's connection to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was previously convicted and subsequently took his own life.
In response, the US leader reportedly said, "F#ck you," and gave him the middle finger.
The plant's reaction
A Ford spokesperson commented on the situation, saying: "One of our core values is respect and we don’t condone anyone saying anything inappropriate like that within our facilities. When that happens, we have a process to deal with it but we don’t get into specific personnel matters."
What does the White House say?
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said: "A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response."
The Jeffrey Epstein case — what is known
- On 18 July, The Wall Street Journal reported that Donald Trump may have written an obscene congratulatory letter to Jeffrey Epstein. The letter was included in an album that Epstein's then-partner Ghislaine Maxwell prepared for his 50th birthday in 2003.
- Trump denies writing such a letter. His representatives later filed a $10 billion lawsuit in federal court in Miami over the publication of the material.
- On 12 November, the US Democratic Party published other letters from Epstein, which claim that Trump knew about the underage girls whom the financier was accused of abusing.
