On January 13th, 2026 a UAW Member Local 600 line worker at the Ford Rouge Plant in Dearborn by the name of TJ Sabula shouted an insult at President Donald Trump as he toured the plant. Liberal news sources framed the incident differently saying things like he “voiced concerns about President Donald J. Trump during the president’s visit to the plant.”
The truth is Sabula screamed at and shouted up at Trump on a catwalk “Pedophile protector!”
President Trump seemingly responded to Sabula showing his middle finger and saying “F*CK you” and “You’re Fired”.
Sabula, the 40 year old husband and father of two children had GoFundMe accounts set up in his name immediately after his unpaid suspension. As of Wednesday afternoon, the day after his suspension, those accounts had raised over $360,000. He told The Washington Post that he had been “targeted for political retribution” for “embarrassing” the president. He also said he had no regrets about the incident.
Sabula no doubt violated Ford’s employee policy manual about code of conduct. No matter what he thinks of President Trump, he was on company time, he disrespected the Office of the President as well as made the Ford Motor Company look unbecoming. This is not about free expression but work place conduct and professionalism.
Union Democrats like Sabula look like fools when one reflects back on a Joe Biden plant campaign tour when Biden was asked a Second Amendment gun rights question and he yelled back at the union worker, “You’re full of sh!t. I DON’T WORK FOR YOU!” At the time Biden was meeting with workers from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) labor union in Detroit, Michigan, which endorsed him in February.

Joe Biden is then seen shushing one of his handlers tries to end the interview. That should have been the day that ended his campaign and probably was. But, then again, if you consider Biden knew he already had the election won because it was going to be rigged, he could really say whatever he wanted to just about anybody.

CONCLUSION:
Sabula accomplished two good things for Trump Republicans. He exposed his ungrateful ignorance as a UAW Ford autoworker as well as the continued hypocritical media bias of the mainstream media against President Trump.
People like Sabula come off both ungrateful and ignorant. My proof for saying this is two-fold:
In the first place, the UAW did not even endorse Donald Trump to be president so he did Ford a huge favor in showing interest in all three branches of the union auto industry Ford/GM/Stellantis. UAW President Shawn Fain endorsed Harris and Walz and Trump wrote him of as “a dope” thereafter.
And, as almost always, Trump was right again. The reason why Trump was right was Biden and Harris and their electric vehicle mandates had the entire auto industry with one foot over the grave and the other on a banana peel. The oil industry was right behind the auto industry.
If you consider the trouble Governor Tim Walz is in right now relative to the missing billions of public aid dollars gone missing in Minnesota, union members look even more stupid today supporting Democrats. Some are saying the original estimate of a missing $10 billion is now looking more like $20 and the ICE raid protests are just a smoke screen to the real issue of an enormous missing amount of taxpayer dollars. The Trump Administration is now looking at cutting off the funding sources of that now after the death of Renee Good and injury to ICE Officer Jonathan Ross.
In the second place, anybody who knows the news about the Epstein files knows the Democrats had 4 years prior to Donald Trump 2.0 to release them and they did absolutely NOTHING! On top of that, when Republicans tried to get movement on the issue three Democrat activist judges, from Florida to New York refused to unseal court files related to the Epstein cases. In other words, anybody with a brain in their head could see it wasn’t Trump’s fault!
The next thing that went wrong was, again, the fault of a Democrat activist judge. Judge Tanya Chutkan demanded the release of all the files by an artificial deadline she established which was impossible for Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to meet due to the fact there was a million pages of files to be reviewed and redacted. Then, from somewhere else, another 5 million files were found on top of the original 1 million!
Rumors are circulating in Washington, D.C. that government workers with ethics and consciences did two things over the last 20 years:
- They hid backup copies of hard evidence to take down Epstein and his clients.
- They became Federal whistleblowers for the second Donald Trump Administration.
President Trump and his family should sue every single person who falsely accuse him of having any connection to the elite pedophile rings of Hollywood and Washington, D.C.
And to Democrat activists like TJ Sabula, believe me, it was not lost on many thinking Americans the very day you tried to embarrass President Trump, your former Democrat President Bill Clinton and wife Hillary were found in Contempt of Congress for refusing to appear before Congress to answer questions about Epstein’s 17 visits to the White House and Clinton’s 27 trips to Epstein’s Little Saint James Island!
And, finally, to all of our Democrat lapdog media members who failed to do their jobs, again, President Trump was not the first president to give the one finger salute.
I hope Ford determines a legal way to take away the GoFundMe money from TJ Sabula and if the UAW challenges his punishment, I hope they lose! He was rude to a guest of the company who has already done far more for Ford in a year than Biden did in four!
My grandfather was a union member of the UAW in Columbus. My father was a member of the AFL/CIO/IAFF in Chicagoland. I, myself, am a former union member of 40 years (NEA and AFL/CIO/AFT). This makes me well qualified to tell Sabula, use your damned head! You can start by reading this past article that lists all of the things Trump has done to stop the elite pedophiles of America.

And as far as President Donald Trump flipping off TJ Sabula, more toxic masculinity, please!
