The White House's communications director, Steven Cheung, said in a statement that a "lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the president gave an appropriate and unambiguous response.""
"It had all been going so nicely until the president was called a pedophile protector. Trump was walking the factory floor, taking selfies with adoring Ford workers in safety vests as F-150 trucks moved along assembly lines overhead. Ford executives including Jim Farley, the company's CEO, accompanied Trump as he watched the trucks come to life."
