Earlier this week, a Ford employee yelled that Donald J. Trump is a “paedophile protector“. In response, an angry Trump mouthed apparent obscenities before giving the worker the finger:
BREAKING:
TJ Sabula, the worker who shouted at Trump, has been suspended.

In response to the man’s suspension, the UAW union has now spoken out.
Trump — vulgar behaviour
As Maddison Wheeldon reported for the Canary on 14 January:
A viral X video captures the U.S. President giving the middle finger to a Ford worker, seemingly signaling his disapproval amid widespread claims that Donald Trump is protecting paedophiles.
She added:
The viral video captures the growing frustration of ordinary Americans. Yet it also underscores Trump’s accountability issues, as the worker was reportedly fired for crossing him.
Since then, UAW have announced:
STATEMENT ON FORD PLANT VISIT FROM VP LAURA DICKERSON, FORD DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR
The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union —the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.
The UAW will ensure that our member receives the full protection of all negotiated contract language safeguarding his job and his rights as a union member.
Workers should never be subjected to vulgar language or behavior by anyone—including the President of the United States.
The Ford worker himself has stood by what he said:

As we’ve reported, the reason people think Trump is a “paedophile protector” is because of how he’s handled the Epstein Files. This has seen the Department of Justice (DoJ) releasing documents with excessive (and likely illegal) redactions.
As we reported on 20 December:
Until this year, the government was unable to release certain files relating to Epstein and his alleged accomplices because of the trial / appeal of his right hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell. This changed when Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which made it both legal and mandatory for the Justice Department to publish all of the Epstein documents. Despite this, the released files are incomplete and heavily redacted:
Only 10% of total files released.
90% of the released files were redacted.
So ~1% of the files were truly released.
I’d love to see MAGA defend this BS.
Why is the DoJ covering up for pedophiles?! https://t.co/CXkyl6r8ee

According to the former Trump loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene, Trump is very purposefully protecting his “friends” — i.e. he’s protecting alleged sex offenders:
After Marjorie Taylor Greene held a news conference at which she threatened to name abusers in the Epstein files, Trump called her.
Greene was in her Capitol Hill office. Everyone could hear him yelling at her.
According to Greene, Trump replied, “My friends will get hurt.”…

Compensation
You’ll be glad to know that the Ford worker might actually do quite well out of all this. On 14 January, we reported the following:
In a show of public spirit and resistance to state oppression, a GoFundMe has been set up for the now-unemployed worker, amassing $130k and rising. A refreshing sign that moral courage can be more rewarding than taking the easy path.
Today, that same crowdfunder is up to a whopping $480k.
It just goes to show; people respect those who stand up to alleged paedophile protectors.
