Happened today at the Ford River Rouge plant in Dearborn. Trump mouthed "**** you" twice as he pointed to a worker calling him a "pedophile protector" from the factory floor below then flipped him off as he walked away. White House says "a lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response."

Worker has been suspended. Says his comment was about Trump's handling of the Epstein files and his administration missing the Dec. 19 deadline to publicly release all documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.

It has been lost on me (about 0%) that the prosecution of Jeffery Epstein began ONLY because of Trump's presidency. It started in his 1st term and and straggled on until now.

Otherwise, there were too many people to protect for JE to be prosecuted.


Trump has ALWAYS been strong against human trafficking.

Supporting Trump or not, this just isn't the truth. The case against Epstein wasn't a Trump initiative and was brought in 2019 by the Southern District of New York.

In January 2025, SDNY prosecutors were ordered to transfer the Epstein case files to DOJ headquarters, where the investigation into co-conspirators was shut down without the prosecutors' knowledge. Trump also initially opposed the transparency legislation before backing down when it was clear it would pass…not to mention that the controversy now is surrounding the fact that his DOJ missed the legally mandated deadline to release the files.

The 2019 case was brought by career prosecutors at SDNY, not by Trump. Epstein died in federal custody before trial. Maxwell was convicted in 2021 and the investigation into co-conspirators continued through 2024 until January 2025, when the files were transferred to DOJ headquarters and the investigation was shut down. So to answer your question, things *were* happening from 2021-2024, they just stopped when Trump took office.

Also, "nothing happened" before 2016 because Epstein got a sweetheart plea deal in 2008 that gave immunity to his co-conspirators, which was negotiated by Alexander Acosta, who Trump later appointed as Labor Secretary in 2017.

Let's just nip this. This guy was evidently heckling to a high level and the POTUS had enough. Good for him.

And the characterization of the files being handed over by SDNY to DOJ and such, I don't recall it playing out like that plus there is a thread for it.

I'm not sure what you mean by it not playing out that way. It's not a characterization, it's what was reported to Congress and per the Epstein victims' legal counsel. But agreed on keeping it to a certain thread if it exists; it's just what the worker was referencing and what others raised here.

The feds had Epstein killed. So what "pedo" is Trump protecting?

Are the "pedos" a bunch of sleazy moguls getting rubbed down by 16 and 17 year olds? Not excusing that behavior, but this whole "Epstien Client List" has taken on a life of its own, being conflated with child sex. In reality, these dbags could have been lied to about the girls ages while they were getting the Robert Kraft Island special.

Im not defending any illegal misconduct, just that there likely isnt any evidence to charge these guys, therefore they cant be accused publicly. The main girl snitching got suicided.

Well, you see, Democrats usually point, accuse and scream at whatever they're doing the worst. Everything starts to really make sense when you look at it like that.

I would have more sympathy for Trump if the guy had been calling Trump a pedophile like most of the dumbass dems are doing these days. Because there is no evidence at all that Trump had anything to do with Epstein's blackmail/pedo ring…. unlike Clinton (for example).

Unfortunately I can't defend Trump against the charge of his admin protecting pedo's because his administration has obviously been running interference for people (and it's not even for himself). Why he let himself get dragged into this mess is beyond me.

Listening to very bad advice again is my guess.

The Ford worker isn't wrong. The guy said what needed to be said. Got his response and was sent home. All fair on both sides.

Seems like the conspiracy theorists on the outside are angry at the conspiracy theorists that are now on the inside that have all the access only to discover there's not much there except a couple of sleazebaga that exploited teenage girls and used access to them to try to socially bait in a few other sleazy dudes to make and maintain advantageous business contacts.

Epstein was a sleaze and ephebephile. I'm more interested in his financial dealings as the exploitation of the girls seems to have been taken care of in court for the known participants for whom sufficient evidence exists of crime.

Trump is pissed because he probably knows this all, was the only witness that actively and voluntarily cooperated per the prosecution, and he's getting all the grief.

OP forgot that F16 is the land of maga.

No, they (maga) don't raise their children to act the way Trump does, but that doesn't mean they don't like people who act the way Trump does.

Confusing? Sure. Expected? Also, sure.

Epstein died in federal custody during Trump's first term, under Trump's DOJ, so I'm not sure that helps your point. Also, you're underselling things. Victims as young as 14 were identified, and the investigation documented a trafficking operation, not "spa services" like you're implying.

I just stated what happened and quoted the White House. If that reads as a "gotcha" to you, that's your own problem, not mine.

I answered this. Yes, Trump was president. No, he didn't direct the prosecution, career prosecutors at SDNY did.

Maxwell was convicted in 2021. The investigation into co-conspirators was active from 2021 to 2024, with nearly 50 survivors providing testimony. It was shut down in January 2025 when Trump took office again.

Also, not sure who you think I am, but you have no idea what I did or didn't care about in 2020.

I guess you could ask why Trump cared about JE when the democrats were in office, but now he doesn't. He made a big show of releasing the files and prosecuting people. He hasn't done that. That's why some of his base is upset.

While I'm still thrilled that Trump won, I do wish he'd apply pressure to flatten the two tier legal system and charge the "elite" for their apparent criminal actions. The more visible, the more important it is that we show consequences.

I guess I'm saying that I'm not entirely against some heat being sent his way on this issue.

Yes, the feds had Epstein killed on Trumps watch...so thats the opposite of "protecting pedos". Yes, they were trafficked into private rooms for sexual activities disguised as "spa services".

As for the 14 year old, I beleive that was Epstein not others. If there is evidence of sexual misconduct with a 14-17 year old they should be brought to justice. That said, 14-17 is different than 4-12, both bad....but the latter is much worse falling into the "child" category. Most "Epstein Client List" outrage assumes it "children", not "underage teens".

The main point remains. Its likely there is not enough evidence to bring criminal charges to the clients. Probably enough for victims to file civil suits, but its also likely confidential settlements were chosen over a public spectacle.

The only way to crack this open is to focus on fed's illegal international ops using Epstein. Thats how you peel the onion to get down to the sleazeball clients. Its all frustrating, I agree.
