President Donald Trump argued it was "a good thing" Ford could not hire enough workers because they would soon "have a thing called robots."

    Ooohhh so here is where a ford worker called him “protector of pedofiles” and he got mad? Poor guy. If you watch the video, you can see how mad he gets for it.

    Edit: the video in question is this:

      The fact that the president flipped off a constituent during a press event is pretty unprecedented. I don’t think it’s been done in a hundred years, if ever. The man is not well, and neither is his party.

        There was a more general flipping off of the constituents in canada in the 80s. The Trudeau Salute.

        I mean even Biden called a reporter a “son of a bitch” to the guy’s face.

        Totally warranted imo, but I think that was also unprecedented? Maybe I’m forgetting some stuff about LBJ though.

          I would not be surprised if LBJ whipped out Jumbo and pissed on someone.

          Probably suspended because of the Union.

          I read suspended, but wouldn’t be surprised if he was sent to an ICE facility only to be deported to some off shore brutal prison.
