Trump Raises Middle Finger at Worker in Front of Cameras (Video)

A video has surfaced showing former US President Donald Trump raising his middle finger towards a worker who was shouting and heckling him during his visit to a Ford factory in Detroit. According to TMZ, the worker accused Trump of being a “pedophile protector,” referring to the Jeffrey Epstein case. The White House defended Trump’s gesture, calling it a “perfectly appropriate” response to the abuse he received. White House Communications Director Stephen Chang stated that Trump reacted appropriately to the worker’s “paroxysm of rage” and “vulgar insults.” The video, posted on TikTok and X, has sparked strong reactions on social media. The Epstein case has divided public opinion and put Trump in a difficult position, as he had friendly relations with the convicted financier. Congress had requested the release of documents related to the Epstein case, but many of them were redacted. Trump’s gesture and the White House’s response are expected to further fuel discussions about the Epstein case and Trump’s image.
