During a tour of a Ford factory, you probably expect to see trucks instead of the bird. But an employee heckled President Donald Trump. In response, Trump raised his middle finger while engaging in profanity. This greatly distracted from the F-150 visit. 

Trump yells at Ford worker during plant visit 

Multiple Ford employees had a wild shift of work at the F-150 plant in Dearborn, Michigan. During President Donald Trump’s visit, a disgruntled employee yelled, “pedophile protector!” Watch here.

A cellphone captured the incident on video and you can clearly see Trump shouting back, “F— YOU” while raising his middle finger. Then he quickly walks off. 

According to The Washington Post, the remark referenced the Epstein files, and the employee identified as 40-year-old TJ Sabula has been suspended from work pending an investigation. 

Also, Sabula shared that he has no regrets whatsoever for embarrassing Trump in front of his friends. Officials at Ford haven’t commented on the matter. 

But I’m more interested in the F-150 trucks part. Trump was at the factory to promote his efforts in boosting manufacturing. He checked out the best-selling truck at various stages of production. Trump saw the Hybrid and Raptor trucks being built. 

He chatted with line workers to share what’s happening to ease financial fears. Some auto-related tariffs have been reduced. The import levies on foreign-made auto parts were extended until 2030. 

During the visit, Ford CEO Jim Farley mentioned that an affordable ICE-powered truck is on the way. The new gas-powered truck will be built in Tennessee. It will replace the $30,000 electric truck Ford has been touting for months. 

This truck is slated to enter production in 2029, so we’re far away from learning any details about its size, price, or powertrain options.
