Trump’s Michigan Ford tour ends with a controversial gesture at a protester

TL;DR Summary
During a visit to a Ford plant in Michigan, President Trump appeared to raise his middle finger at a person on the factory floor after being shouted at; the White House framed the gesture as an appropriate response to the taunts. A line worker, TJ Sabula, told The Washington Post he was the one shouting at the president and said he has been suspended pending an investigation. Ford said it does not condone inappropriate language and noted it would address the incident through internal processes. TMZ had a 30‑second video of the moment, but it’s unclear exactly what was said.
