Scandal during Trump's factory visit in Michigan! A visit by Donald Trump to the Ford factory has caused a stir. The US president intended to encourage the auto industry, but an incident overshadowed the event: On the sidelines of the tour, Trump is said to have insulted a worker and showed him the middle finger. Here is the incredible story:

Heckle triggers strong reaction

During a tour of the Ford Motor Company's factory in Dearborn, near Detroit, a worker is said to have shouted something at the president. According to the US portal TMZ, the expression "pedophile protector" was used. The exact wording was reportedly difficult to understand audibly.

Reference to Epstein allegations

Trump reacted immediately and visibly annoyed. According to TMZ, he repeatedly pointed in the direction of the heckler, allegedly shouted "Fuck you" and subsequently extended his middle finger to the worker. The insult presumably refers to Trump's previous connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump has been emphasizing for years that he ended the contact long before Epstein's conviction.
