President Donald Trump on Tuesday gave the middle finger and told an autoworker “fuck you” after he was heckled during his visit to a Ford plant in Dearborn, Michigan.

In a clip shared by TMZ, the president looks down from a walkway above the factory floor as someone is heard yelling, “Pedophile protector!”

It’s an apparent nod to the president’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein and his administration’s handling — and sluggish release — of files tied to the late convicted sex offender.

The two-letter dig appeared to get under Trump’s skin as he responded by pointing his finger toward the factory floor below and appeared to mouth “fuck you” as well as “you’re fired” just before flipping the bird.

The president’s reaction to the worker was “appropriate,” per White House spokesperson Steven Cheung.

“A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response,” Cheung said.

Critics on social media praised the autoworker, with one Bluesky user calling the worker a “god damn hero” and another simply declaring, “truth hurts.”
