BREAKING: Donald Trump Gives the Middle Finger to Workers in Michigan — Literally Arrow

Donald Trump has given the middle finger to millions of workers across the country. Under Trump, the manufacturing sector has lost 63,000 jobs, and U.S. employers announced 1,206,374 job cuts in 2025 - the highest level since 2020. Meanwhile, U.S. billionaires got $1.5 trillion richer during Trump's first year back in office.

Then today, during a visit to a Ford F-150 plant in Michigan, Trump made his message to workers even clearer, literally flipping off a Ford worker who was yelling "pedophile protector" over his handling of the Epstein files.

In response,DNC Senior Advisor for Messaging, Mobilization and Strategy Tim Hogan released the following statement:

"Donald Trump is more concerned with his ego than his spiraling economy, where job cuts are skyrocketing, hiring has slowed, unemployment remains high, and prices continue to soar. As working families struggle to make ends meet in Trump's economy, the Trump family and their wealthy donors keep getting richer - there's no bigger 'F-you' than that. The real question is: Why does the mere mention of Epstein set him off?"
