Trump Flips Off Protester at Ford Plant
A man was at a Ford plant where Donald Trump was visiting.
Someone shouted at Trump, calling him a 'pedophile protector.'
This is because Trump was friends with a man named Jeffrey Epstein, who did bad things.
Trump got very angry and said a bad word back at the man and made a rude gesture.
A video of this happened and many people saw it.
The White House said the protester was acting crazy and Trump's response was appropriate.
Ford said they don't like people acting badly in their plant.
An unidentified protester called Donald Trump a 'pedophile protector' at a Ford plant in Dearborn, Michigan.
Trump responded by mouthing 'F--k you' and making an obscene gesture.
The protester's remark likely references Trump's past association with Jeffrey Epstein.
The incident was captured on video and has gone viral.
The White House defended Trump's reaction, describing the protester as a 'lunatic' screaming expletives.
