That middle finger thing was real? Yeah, our president is a 12 year old. Can you imagine any other world leader doing this? Even north korea wouldn't do this.

I thought it was shopped because it was so damn tiny.

North Korea would have him and his family and his family's extended family's extended family disappeared.
But he wouldn't have flipped him off in the first place. Can you picture any other world leader doing this? Maybe the drug thug from the Philippines awhile back. That's all I can think of.
I can see Basescu doing that to a heckler then laughing with the heckler
Look him up, the Romanian ex-president. Dude had the whole weird fun uncle vibe, and as is custom to say in romania: "He stole but he also did things"
I could also imagine Silvio Berlusconi doing this, and he was another deeply corrupt avuncular type.

Our steals things, but is also a rapist, pedophile, murderer and racist. Trump is definitely not a "fun" uncle.

Yeah.
The other bastard who did such a thing was Rodrigo Roa Duterte, currently in the Hague, under ICJ scrutiny.
The middle finger thing is, like, the least worst thing he's done.
Correct but even the worst authoritarian wouldn't mock their citizens so openly. Most dictators are smart enough to know that all it takes is one bullet to kill them and this country literally has more guns than people

To be fair north Korea wouldn't do this because they'd send him to the coal mines instead lol

I also heard that UAW is standing by his first amendment rights. So a nice payday, a fuck you to Trump, and gets to keep his job. What a happy ending, thanks unions!

$30 a month! That adds up to a PS5, totally not worth it! /s
Poverty wages + 0 (and belief that I could have bought a PS5 instead of joining a union)
Vs
Livable wage and without a doubt more than enough money for like 15 ps5s in a year on top of that
Who would win

There is absolutely no circumstance in which I would ever wish to meet the current president of the United States... except for this one...
To be directly told "Fuck you" by Donald is an incredible badge of honor.
And it was done twice with a bonus middle finger too?!
🥰
The GoFundMe is now closed at just over $480k. Not a bad day's work. Well earned IMO
Why was it closed though?
TJ closed it as he thinks that's more than enough money. He says to donate to other causes if you want
Damn, what a badass.
Not all heroes wear capes
This is a good precedent. You yell the truth at trump and you'll get half a million dollars.
It isn't an appropriate response for the President of the United States. It's the response of an insecure narcissist. A real President would ignore the guy, because responding gives the heckler power. A real President would view an unruly person screaming as insignificant and to be pitied.
Obama would have been impeached for flipping the bird.
Remember that time he wore a tan suit? What about the time he asked for spicy mustard? Fox played those up for days.
*years/decades
French flavour over freedom flavour? How unamerican. Telling your citizens to fuck off, now that's patriotism.
I know it's probably not the reason why he did it but this guy just bought himself job security for life. Just say that you're the guy who got told by trump yomfuck himself, and booom, job!
Same for getting sex
Same for free drinks at a bar
Trump is so big that this guy is wet for life.
He should start an activist group with the goodwill he has!
Either way, he's awesome
Trump is so big that this guy is wet for life.
Trump is tiny in all the ways that matter. Tiny hands. Tiny intellect. Tiny dick.
Proud contributor to the fund.
Fuck it, I sent him 5 bucks.
Me too.
GoFundMe Campaign for Autoworker Who Got the ^tiniest Middle Finger From Trump Hits $400,000
Ftfy
Here’s $10 from me.
Amazing sequence of events. Love when people actually get to him
Sabula, the Landmesser and Wegert of our time.
Man, imagine what the GoFundMe would look like if that orange bastard suffered actual harm or something.
I dunno what he will do with that half-a-million bucks, but I hope he keeps it for himself. I wouldn't blame him at all. Also, there's a small chance he'll need it for legal council. You never know which species of cockroach that sort of money will bring out from under the stove.
That's enough to buy like 3 Congressmen
Question, is money from gofundme taxed?
Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?
Because it's a gift and therefore tax exempt!
