Auto worker calls Trump "Pedophile Protector" - Trump flips him off

I'm f**ked," Mr. Trump told Sessions during an Oval Office meeting. The tense exchange is detailed in the redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report...

Ford worker called Trump a “pedophile protector” during his visit to an assembly plant in Michigan today.

In return, Trump, who has failed to release the Epstein files, yelled, “fuck you” and flipped off the worker.

President Donald Trump appeared to flip off a person heard calling him a “pedophile protector” during his visit to Michigan on Tuesday.

Video obtained by TMZ shows the president at the Ford plant. He appears to point at the accuser as he says, “f*** you,” then gives the person the middle finger as he walks away.

The president was touring Ford’s River Rouge complex in Dearborn, Michigan Tuesday afternoon before delivering a speech at the Detroit Economic Club.

The accusation against Trump came after the president pushed back on the release of the Epstein files for months last year, despite saying on the campaign trail he would release the files if reelected.
