TJ Sabula is said to have called the president a “pedophile protector” as he toured the automotive giant’s River Rouge complex on Tuesday.

Trump then appeared to give Sabula the middle finger, according to a video published by celebrity news and gossip site TMZ, which claimed that Trump also yelled obscenities prior to making the gesture.

Words to live by:

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” Sabula added in the interview. “And today I think I did that.”

The article features an image of him smiling the kind of smile that rightfully suggests he made the history books for his stand against fascism against a pedophile protector.

    As someone who has cancer and can’t get a dime on gofundme to help out, I won’t lie, this irks me a little bit. That kind of money would literally be life-changing for me and yet would still only pay for less than two years of treatment out of pocket.

      Why can’t you get a dime on gofundme? I get where you are coming from, but this guy was on national news. It’s not like he’s pleading with people for money, they are offering it.

      Charity isn’t a zero-sum game. Just because someone else does well doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t. feeling irked by this serves no purpose and is a waste of your time and resources.

        What an… Interesting response to this person having cancer. Pretty cold delivery of advice to this person.

          the real issue is that billionaires should be taxed properly, UHC in place, and cancer treatments covered already. but people have it so ingrained in their psyche that that isn’t an option that people are stuck arguing about who should be getting fucking gofundme donations (and for what purpose) over anyone else

          edit: i want to add that the fact that hospitals encourage their patients to look at gofundme as a way to pay their medicals bills is just absolutely mind-boggling to me. yes, the costs should be crowd-funded–guess what the fuck universal healthcare IS?! billionaires just don’t want a single fraction of a percent of a sliver of a shadow of a penny of their OWN money being a part of that “crowd” fund

          I read it along the lines of “don’t worry about what you can’t control; worry about what you can”, which would seem like good advice for someone battling cancer.

      GoFundMe isn’t for saving your life, it’s for making sure our healthcare system continues to not serve you

      As much as I enjoy this happening it isn’t really a way of effecting change either but let people revel in the catharsis a little.
