President Trump made an obscene gesture with his middle finger and mouthed “f--- you” twice to a person who can be heard yelling “pedophile protector” at him during a tour of a Ford factory in Michigan — a reaction the White House said was “appropriate.”

🚨Warning Something very big Happened today Re Trumpstein An interview W/male survivor Sasha Riley By Lisa Nicolle Voldane In a piece called ‘Don’t Worry, Boys Are Hard to Find’ On Substack SHE⬇️ A child abuse Case prosecutor Says it’s credible The damn’s burst & it’s worse than U ever imagined #Mm

Best bit is, the guy replied, ‘You wish, but I’m not underage.’ Sadly, Ford have decided to suspend him for expressing free speech. Hope he’s in a union. Apparently there’s a GoFundMe too.

That behavior by the president in the situation is INAPPROPRIATE. There isn’t a situation wherein the president dropping the f-bomb and flipping someone off is an appropriate response. This isn’t setting a good example.

Meanwhile, the Minneapolis mayor is taken to task by this same press for saying “fck” when this administration murdered her in broad daylight in front of dozens of witnesses and cameras

Mayor Frey would like a word on the White House’s hypocrisy after being singled out for not “toning down the rhetoric” following one of his constituents being murdered by the Pedophiles Protector’s Gestapo agents.

I want to wake up and find this has all been a bad movie ... Remember Attack of the Killer Tomatoes ... but this is real and is driving some good people to have mental issues. Where is the end?🔥

This is difficult to admit, but I agree with the White House, it was totally appropriate… for that factory worker to call Trump a “pedophile protector”. (Or maybe he was referring to the Secret Service?)

White House communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement to Newsweek: “A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response.” This is the problem-they are all cult followers & liars. Disgusting! 25th

The woman had been driving near where a protest was unfolding, trying to reach a doctor’s appt. After driving up & asking officers to drive through, the ICE agents smashed her windows, used a knife to cut her seatbelt & pulled her out, arresting her. Not a movie-real life in America! Innocent!

Appropriate? I think not. A leader of a country should have more diplomacy & self-control. Since the White House thinks it was ok, we are in deep shit. Congress Repubs NEED to 'see the light' & act against him & get him out of office. Talk about 'blind mice'! Vote them all out! 25th

Well we all know how the #PedoPresident doesn't like to hear the truth... And his response is right on brand for a #Failed #Human... There's no #Low #Bar for #Trump & #MAGA #Traitors. #KiddieFiddler #Protecting #Paedophile "friends"! #Release the #EpsteinFiles #COWARDS!

Looking forward to a heavily pixelated SOTU. (Imo, if there's a problem w/ T's reaction, it's the hostility and defensiveness toward a citizen, not the words or gestures he used to express it. Thinking of Obama's grace toward Joe the Plumber, and later, the "brush off" move.)

Congrats on the factory worker for coming up with the trigger phrase for Trump. It won’t be the last time he hears it. Let it become the “Let’s go Brandon” phase of the time.

This White House wouldn't know "appropriate" if it was standing in front of them shaking their hand. The definition of the word is not in their vocabulary.

A very unstable president. If he can't take heckling from an auto worker, imagine him in situations that require diplomacy. While Trump's behavior is beneath the office of POTUS, his emotional maturity is truly dangerous for this country.

That just endears him to the wrong people. The people who voted for him. (The lower egg prices voters don't even care that he's a felon or an unindicted child rapist)

I didn't know ,theres a gesture that can be made by the middle finger that isn't obscene.. Of course it's appropriate.Pedophiles are not tolerated in a secular civil society. Everyone within hearing distance should be shouting at him, " Pedophile Protecter!" 🙃

@nytimes.com: "Trump's obscene gesture and verbal response to a Ford employee who called him a 'pedophile protector' was not worthy of the POTUS. But, the Ford employee was wrong to call Trump a protector. He is an actual pedophile."
