The yelling of the Ford plant worker as ‘pedophile protector’ to the US President is likely linking him with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted offender in a child trafficking and child abuse case. The Epstein's files were released by the Trump administration, but it has also backfired on President Trump.

The White House Communications Director Steven Cheung responded to TMZ's viral video of Trump showing the middle finger to a worker, saying, “A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response.”
