The President of the United States gave the middle finger to an employee who called him a ‘paedophile protector’.
A heckler, believed to work at the Ford factory Trump was touring, yelled at Donald Trump and claimed he was protecting child sex abusers, referencing the delay in the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
A video showed the Commander-in-Chief offering a simple response: the middle finger.
He also appeared to say the words ‘F**k you’ to the man.
In a statement, the White House said: ‘A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the president gave an appropriate and unambiguous response.’
Trump was visiting the Ford plant in Michigan, where tensions are reaching a boiling point after an ICE agent murdered a U.S. citizen, Renee Good.
A spokesperson for Ford said the event was ‘great’, but said they don’t condone anyone saying anything ‘inappropriate’ in their factories.
The Trump administration is facing fury from many supporters for delays in releasing the full Epstein files.
Only 1% of the files have been released so far, despite some 12,000 photos, notes and legal documents being released last month.
Initial estimates believe it could take eight years to review and disclose the remaining files, even with hundreds of attorneys working on the release.
‘While the commitment of Department personnel to this effort has been substantial in breadth and impressive in effort, substantial work remains to be done,’ the Justice Department said.
If that timeline proves to be true, the final files won’t be released until well after Donald Trump’s second term in office is over.
It also breaches the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which required the DOJ to release all unclassified information on Epstein within 30 days.
The files released last month, shortly before Christmas, show high-profile celebrities, politicians and even royals.
Former President Bill Clinton was photographed in a hot tub alongside an anonymous woman, swimming in a pool with Ghislaine Maxwell and posing with Epstein and other anonymous women.
The former president has never been accused of wrongdoing by survivors of Epstein’s abuse, and has denied knowledge of his sex offending.
The files also include photos of Epstein with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, billionaire Richard Branson and the late CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite.
The former member of the Royal Family is seen lying over several people with an awkward smile as Maxwell watches on. He has always denied any accusations of wrongdoing.
Trump is also mentioned in other documents and was photographed with the paedophile on numerous occasions.
The US President has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes when the pair socialised and any wrongdoing with regard to their previous friendship.
