DETROIT (Gray News) — President Donald Trump was caught on camera flipping off a worker at a Ford plant in Detroit.
On Tuesday, Trump was touring the Ford F-150 plant at the Detroit Economic Club before giving a speech about the economy.
Video obtained by TMZ showed a Ford worker shouting “pedophile protector” at Trump, who responded by flipping his middle finger at the worker and saying, “f*** you.”
White House communications director Steven Cheung confirmed the interaction in a statement to The New York Times.
Cheung told The New York Times that a “lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the president gave an appropriate and unambiguous response.”
