WATCH: President Donald Trump Gives The Middle Finger To Heckler During Visit To Ford Plant

That’s how you deal with trolls.

President Donald Trump has never been shy about sparring with his critics. From the very first time he appeared in a GOP debate back in 2015 and insulted everybody from Rosie O’Donnell to his then-primary opponents (remember when he said he would “never” make fun of Rand Paul for his appearance even though there was plenty of material there?) the 45th and 47th president has proven time and time again that he’s not going to play nice just for the sake of acting “presidential,” whatever that means.

Of course this approach gets plenty of criticism from the media, who are frequent targets of the president’s fire. Just this week, he called out a CNN reporter on Air Force One, telling her that her network was “fake news” after she seemingly tried to hide who she was working for:

Well today, President Trump once again sent a message to one of his hecklers – and there’s no doubt the mainstream media’s going to have a fit over this one.

Trump was visiting a Ford F-150 plant in Dearborn, Michigan, an appearance meant to promote his economic agenda.

But during his appearance, somebody at the plant apparently isn’t a Trump fan and shouted at him from down below. (It’s not clear whether the heckler was an employee of the plant or someone else).

Rather than ignore the taunt, as most elected officials would, President Trump did what pretty much every non-politician would do and promptly responded with something that clearly wasn’t “love you” while also flipping them the middle finger.

Obviously President Trump has faced mounting criticism, including some from the right, for his handling of the release of files related to disgraced sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. And it seems this person wanted to let the president know how they felt in person.

They probably weren’t expecting that response from the president though…

Of course Trump has shown time and time again that he’s not afraid of engaging with hecklers. It happened pretty regularly at his rallies, when a protestor would try to interrupt his speech and the president would simply mock them as they were escorted out.

This one particular instance from back in 2024 sent MSNBC (now known as MS NOW) into a full-on spiral, resulting in a six minute report on whether Trump was inspiring violence.

During the rally, Trump stopped his rally to mock the protestor:

“Back home to mommy. She goes back home to mommy. ‘Was that you darling?’ And then she gets the hell knocked out of her. Her mother’s a big fan of ours, you know that right? Her father, her mother. No, you always have those.”

I’m sure the response to this latest incident will be equally as rational from those in the mainstream media. But on social media, it seems like Trump supporters were overwhelmingly loving the reaction from the president:

“I so voted for this”

“Highlight of the year”

“Gotta love our president.”

Just like everything with Trump…how you feel about it depends on which side of the aisle you’re on. But you gotta admit, it’s pretty wild to see the president just going around flipping people off.
