USA Trump gives the middle finger to a rowdy worker
US President Donald Trump has responded to the insulting heckling of a factory worker in the most vulgar way imaginable.

According to the US media, the scene took place at a factory of the US car manufacturer Ford in the US state of Michigan.

Trump's communications director Steven Cheung confirmed the authenticity of the footage to the Washington Post. "A mentally ill man shouted wild curses in a fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unequivocal response," the spokesman said in a statement made available to the newspaper and other US media.
According to the reports, the employee insulted Trump as a "pedophile protector". When questioned by the Washington Post, the alleged heckler confirmed that his insult referred to Trump's actions in the scandal surrounding sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He felt "definitely no remorse" about the exclamation, the 40-year-old told the newspaper. However, he is worried about the future of his job and also fears "political retribution" because he "embarrassed Trump in front of his friends". According to his own statements, he was released from his work at the plant as a result of the incident due to an ongoing investigation.
