Ford Worker Suspended After Shouting at Trump as President Gives Middle Finger in Detroit

The exchange followed a crowd accusation tied to Jeffrey Epstein that has renewed focus on unreleased files and official statements.

Overview

TMZ published video showing a shout of "defender of pedophiles" at President Trump during a visit to a Ford plant in Detroit.
Trump responded with a middle finger and an expletive, as captured in the clip circulated by media outlets.
Washington Post reported that 40-year-old assembly line worker T.J. Sabula said he made the shout and was suspended pending an investigation.
Sabula told the paper he does not regret the outburst but fears for his job and views the suspension as political retaliation.
White House communications director Stephen Cheung confirmed the video's authenticity and described the president's response as appropriate, while coverage linked the moment to renewed scrutiny of Epstein-related records and recent FBI and DOJ statements.
