Whereas Trump was emotional and upset because a peasant pierced his royal bubble and made him sad about his longstanding relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

FWIW, a White House spokesperson called Trump's response "appropriate."

"TJ Sabula, a Ford worker, was suspended from his job after heckling President Donald Trump during a visit to a Ford plant in Michigan. Following this incident, a GoFundMe page was created to raise funds for him, aiming to support his financial needs while he awaits an investigation. As of now, the fundraiser has raised over $130,000 in donations, reflecting the public's support for Sabula and his actions during the event."

he's more than likely on Trump's "hit list" from here on in. I guess freedom of speech has completely flown out the window for us peons, but it's OK for the so-called president to yell FU to someone.

We can only hope that whoever suspended him did it with a wink and a nod, though I do know quite a few people who work the line at Ford(s) who were tea party followers and now MAGAts. I could never square the fact that they are UAW and enjoy good benefits and forget that it's the Democratic Party who fights for them to unionize.

P.S. to add - the term "Fords" is how Michiganders refer to it, as they do a lot of company names such as Meijer(s), Kmart(s), etc.

Or so the MAGAts think. Truth be known, Trump wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

...would have simply shrugged and said, "I'm not going to dignify that remark with a response."

But we're dealing with someone who is hardly secure with himself and totally not self-assured.

Motherfucker Trump really has issues. Mouthing “Fuck you!” twice and flipping the bird displays a sexual predator’s mixture of anger, sex and directed violence.

The worker: suspended - likely for violating decorum.

The president is held to no such (or any) standards.

Despite the many distractions Trump can come up with.

The slowly developing civil war, the threatened war over Greenland, nope, Epstein will still be there.

I'm waiting for an insider to release some juicy unredacted Epstein documents . . .

Just like voters in general, they vote against their own interests. Many of those idiots are racists as well. I worked just shy of 40 years in a Union and I saw them every fucking day. So stupid. 🔵🔵🔵🔵💪
