The patriot who shouted at Trump, TJ Sabula, just got suspended by Ford.
Where’s the GoFundMe? Let’s retire him. https://t.co/3prZeF7FwL

The clash happened Tuesday at Ford’s Dearborn Truck Plant, where Trump toured with executives Bill Ford and Jim Farley to highlight U.S. manufacturing. Forty-year-old UAW member TJ Sabula, who later cited Trump’s Epstein case handling, shouted the insult; Trump responded with a double middle finger and mouthed an expletive.
Ford suspended Sabula pending investigation, which he calls political retribution, while a GoFundMe launched by supporter Sean Williams quickly raised $144,311 from more than 6,400 donors to back him.
