During his visit to the Ford F-150 factory in Michigan, U.S. President Donald Trump first cursed at a worker who shouted "Pedophile protector" at him, then responded with a hand gesture. As footage of the incident gained significant attention, it was learned that the factory worker had been suspended from his job and an investigation had been initiated against him.

During his visit to the Ford F-150 plant in Michigan, U.S. President Donald Trump was shouted at by one of the factory workers, who called him a "protector of pedophiles." The worker's remark infuriated Trump, who first cursed and then made an obscene gesture.

The incident began when a worker shouted a phrase similar to "protector of pedophiles" as Trump was walking through the facility. It was recorded that Trump turned around and responded with a curse, followed by an obscene gesture. The White House spokesperson defended the incident, stating that the worker exhibited an aggressive and vulgar attitude.

THE IMAGES CAUSED A BIG STIR

Trump's reaction drew significant public attention, independent of the main purpose of the visit. He continued his visit by taking photos with the employees and shaking hands; he was seen to be warmly welcomed by most of the other workers. Bill Ford, the President of Ford Motor Company, expressed his sadness about the incident in a statement to the press while noting that the overall trip went positively.

FACTORY WORKER WAS FIRED

After the images gained extensive media coverage, it was learned that the factory worker was suspended from work and an investigation was initiated against him.

THE EPSTEIN FILE IS NEVER OUT OF THE AGENDA

The incident created a new topic of discussion regarding Trump's public image, which has been overshadowed by the release of Jeffrey Epstein's files and related debates, while Trump has repeatedly denied questions and criticisms regarding these issues in the past.
