"While vulgarity is central to Donald Trump's political identity, it's actually rare to hear him drop an f-bomb. He'll pretend to fellate a microphone, allude to penis size during a debate, and say all kinds of disgusting things about women, but traditional profane words and gestures aren't his preferred medium. He's only said the "f-word" in public on a handful of occasions, and one was just an "Oh, f-" when he noticed a pen mark on his shirt."
"While it's hard to make out the full exchange, the video begins with a man on the lower level of the factory shouting 'pedophile protector,' an obvious reference to Trump's relationship with deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. From the upper floor, Trump points a finger and appears to say 'fuck you,' twice. Then he raises his middle finger as he walks away."
Vulgarity defines Donald Trump's political identity, but he rarely uses the f-word in public. He often uses sexualized imagery and insults rather than traditional profane words or gestures. Trump's use of profanity increased during his third presidential run. The White House communications team under the second Trump administration is highly combative. A TMZ video appears to show Trump raising his middle finger and saying 'fuck you' twice to a heckler at a Ford factory in Dearborn, Michigan. The heckler shouted 'pedophile protector,' referencing Jeffrey Epstein. The video was grainy and shot on a phone, and the White House disputed the interpretation.
