Dude needs to open a gofundme for that one. I'd give him ten bucks for the delivery of what many of us think.
there actually is one https://www.gofundme.com/f/tj-sabula-is-a-patriot
Holy shit dude made 220k from this. Good on him for not being afraid to speak up.
I hope he makes enough to retire for life.
Someone anonymously dropped $5,000 as a donation. It's always nice to see that some people are using their much-higher-than-average disposable income for the good of others.
What's the point of having Fuck You money if you never say "fuck you"‽
I was going to contribute as a non-american, but I can see that's he's got enough from it. I'll save it for another patriot
This shit is spreading, you'll need it for your fellow compatriots.
I hope i'm wrong.
360k now, that's at least enough to buy a good house with plenty leftover in that area.
480k and counting
It’s at $219,000 right now. That man deserves a fucking metal for actually getting a response from that child rapist. We need this to happen to him wherever he goes! This is one of those few times that filming yourself insulting someone is not only permissible, but encouraged.
ETA: $480k as of 1/15. That is awesome.
There's a video?!
Why yes! Of course there is!
https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/14/ford-worker-suspended-trump-pedophile-protector/
does he also mouth "fuck you" to the guy? it kind of looks like it, but it kind of doesn't, but I can't tell how much is just the fact that Trump's face is fucking weird and he talks funny
He did according to TMZ.
Yet Trump isn't the one that got suspended.
He really jets out of there the moment he gets called out, too.
There is. Someone else should have yelled out "and he'll do it again" to see if he slips up. "Yeah...wait.."
280000 right now ! it's increasing rapidly !
You love to see it 🙂
I'm always skeptical on these. How do we know it's his and not just some scammer?
It looks like the beneficiary was setup to the correct name. Not sure how accurate that is. Might need to find a news source confirming he is the beneficiary.
There are two
https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-ford-worker-tj-sabula-during-suspension
Together solid 440 k as of writing.
As of now, total is 800 k.
Now we wait for Trump to
shakedownfile a lawsuit against GoFundMe or have the DOJ investigate them for "funding terrorists". Possibly both because why not.I'm sure the Antifa Corporation Ltd is involved with this operation at some level...
Current status is on hold. Wonder if GoFundMe will try to pocket all the money and find a BS excuse to not get in trouble with the government.
Joined you
Trump is not just a protector he is a Pedophile.
He's a pedophile who protects pedophiles
The King Pedophile, since he wants to be king so bad.
¿Por que no los dos?
He’s like that Hair club for Men guy, not just the President but also a client
Yes, but if he had shouted that, he could have been sued.
He can be sued regardless. The bar for filing a lawsuit is very low.
But because Trump is a celebrity and a politician, the bar for him winning a lawsuit is supposed to be higher than for a normal person. Meaning that Trump should lose the lawsuit, pretty much regardless of what that guy said.
Champ.
Apparently he's already net 300k via contributions from other patriots.
Fuck I hate this timeline where we throw money at people for being on one team or the other. I mean, good for him and all, but this is BS.
I mean he did essentially lose his job over this, I'm glad the people are supporting him because the worse alternative is that his family falls into poverty for standing up against evil
Trump is literally a pedo protector. We all have eyes.
"It was their final, most essential command."
"eight-year olds, dude...*
He protects itself first and only. Given that, he's a pedo protector.
Could you imagine if Obama had done this than got the guy suspended from his job?
Can you imagine if he did a fraction of any of this, the detractors from the right are just made of fury and idiocy, but they would have been far more justified about something like this than a black man wearing a tan suit.
They said Obama was going to have DEATH PANELS roaming around killing people.
EVERYTHING they say is projection.
Say what you want about Trump, but at least he never brought shame on our country by wearing a tan suit.
What is his position on dijon mustard
Too spicy.
It's funny this keeps getting brought up. We already know they're hypocritical racists who only care about team red and themselves. Hurting others is the point. It doesn't matter who the opposition is.
You know how you can identify weak childlike leaders?
This. This is a sign of a petty weak person.
Wait? Suspended? Why?
What did he do that was wrong?
Ford is complying with dear leader while dear leader is actively fucking Ford by cutting trade with Canada.
I used to work in automotive manufacturing. The amount of parts to build cars cannot come from just America. It's impossible.
Trump is beating the shit out of Ford and they're just standing there asking for more.
Parts yes. Cars no.
It is in Ford's best interest to keep other forgien cars out of the US. If Americans were really free to shop forgien cars the US car companies would all go under.
Trump will keep out "bad forgien cars"
Tairiffs are just a cost they pass down to consumers when there are no other options for the consumer other than domestic cars built with tariffed parts.
They know what they are doing.
Silver lining though, cars will get more expensive, which might spur more public transit. Heh... at the very least it will make walkable places a little more desirable.
Oh cars will get more expensive, but you think America will lean towards public transit? Auto manufacturers will just bitch and moan about how they can't sell their $145,000 entry level sedan, and the government will just bail them out with your tax money.
What, you don't want to pay $1500 a month for a Ford Focus?
Ford would bitch and moan so American safety regulations would be cut back to help lower costs of cars
Ford doesn’t sell the Focus anymore because the US hates reasonably sized vehicles.
I'm hoping this means we'll actually get a high speed rail line from Toronto to Quebec City sometime this century instead of just having another shelved study.
If people can't afford cars, they'll just create subsidies using middle class tax money.
That is total bullshit they could build all the parts in the country, preposterous to claim otherwise. The president is a piece of shit, and will ruin ford, but the parts could easily all be made in america, and were all made in america, probably in living memory.
Now everyone is defending neo liberalism because the president co opted anger at so called free trade.
So where is America getting a lot of their foreign special metals? Last I checked a lot of particular components needed to build modern vehicles literally don't exist in America.
If you wanted to build just a car from 1968, absolutely you could. But the technology in cars now-a-days comes from materials that literally do not exist in the continental USA. You need to import them. And Canada has a lot of it. So even the suggestion that you don't need Canada is not only ignorant as hell but completely stupid.
It would not be hard to rebuild that technology with the wealth or nation has. It is a choice, and was intentionally made that way, and pretending otherwise is to take at face value the narrative the rich weave
The US actually has about every metal or mineral you could want somewhere, as rissia and china both do, canada to a lesser extent. The us used to lead in rare earth stuff too. Not sure about cobalt and coltan but it likely does exist in the us.
Not that we should process all of them here neccessarily. Just that we have deposits of basically everything.
I do not think we should have tarrifs on canada or europe. But our cars could be made in the us, and used to be before nafta. Made in measures parts though, raw materials are not included in those.
Canada is not the problem in free trade. Their only advantage is not unfair, they do not gouge on healthcare forcing companies to pay more for less to pay an army of parasites offering no value to health care.
Who said anything about the Raw materials? That is not how made in labels work and you know it. You are throwing around a little gratuitous insults despite you being the one that was despite you being the one that was wrong.
But we could do all the raw materials in the United States as a matter of fact. Ford had a completely vertical operation and produced almost everything in the United States. But I do not know why I'm talking to somebody that called me stupid for challenging his falsehood.
The fact you even think that I called you stupid, rather than the President of the United States stupid, says all I need to know about you. Have a great day.
No they weren't, not since like 1950.
First of all, 1950 is in living memory as I said. Second of all, I dispute that any significant percent was built outside the country before nafta, and I flat out reject that we couldn't build them all here.
Just because the president co-opted union issues to win the election, planning on doing the exact opposite of what he promised, does not mean you should embrace the opposite and the neo liberal fair trade arguments whereby our labor and environmental standards are undercut by sending jobs to countries without those protections in a race to the bottom. Eliminating those jobs that led to selling their own products in a cycle of economic decline. Canada is not a problem in that regard, although they have an advantage it's not unfair, because national health insurance.
Dispute all you'd like it's a fact Jack.
He hurt baby's feelings.
Corporation gonna corporate and protect its money
I mean, insulting someone on a tour of your plant is pretty unprofessional
I'd even say that it was a bad thing to do, if the insulted tour-goer wasn't the lowest scum of the earth XD
is it even an insult when just saying a fact?
The ones that are true hurt the most!
Insulted Der Führer. This would have been an exaggeration not that long ago, but now it's simply fact.
While at work you are representing the company and have to act accordingly. Aside from any personal feelings about what he said, what he did is really unprofessional and could cause reputational damage to the company.
I agree with what he said but yelling that at work during a visit is just not a great idea.
That dude was representing his union not Ford Motor Company.
Just because some company says "you are representing FORD" ... the CEO of Ford doesn't drive a Ford ... is he get a pass because he is rich ?
You don't represent a company. You represent yourself.
An employee on the work clock? Of course he is representing the company. If I see someone and they have a uniform then they are representing their company. They might be representing themself as well (personal reputation) but they are also representing their employer and their actions reflect on the company.
I think Trump is a piece of shit but you are in the wrong in this regard.
I agree with you, though I think in this case being unprofessional is warranted and worth it, but I totally understand suspension.
I thought the whole issue was that he was at work, during work time?
This is not like representing the company at a picnic or charity event. This is PR for the aspiring fascist dictator, who is leaving us with a legacy of a soon to be supreme leaders fixing elections and ruling in a reign of terror scapegoating others for problems. Also one that fucked children with epstein and let himself get caught on tape doing it so now a foreign intelligence agency (israel,) has proof that would ruin him making him at their disposal. Also a lifelong blackmailer himself, such an enigma, a child fucking blackmailing enigma.
Fuck the company and their stroking off the guy betraying the country that allowed ford to become great. They are fools to trust the party, and will be destroyed by them, because they and their ilk were trying to prevent a little reform to restore the glory of the republic to the post war years.
I'm all for the sentiment, I just tried to explain what sort of stance the company is working from and why being suspended or fired wouldn't be surprising.
Oh yeah the president and his people are think skinned to say the least. They would have the guy executed if they could. The company would be looking at transparent penalties if they didn't fire the guy.
They should reinstate him with his union though, idk how it works in auto, but other unions will get guys reinstated with back pay for being fired contrary to the contract.
I would not be surprised if they didn't try and investigate the guy with federal prosecutors, but we are not quite there yet where those prosecutions would make it to trial.
And Trump isn't at work? What are these double standards?
Who is going to fire Trump for his actions?
Remember how many times Obama was mocked, did they fire anyone? No.
Geico fired R. Lee Ermey because he gave a speech claiming Obama was bankrupting the country on purpose so he could bring socialism to the US. Just saying.
I truly don't understand that line of reasoning. At all.
Putting aside ideological stances on economic and social structures, how does someone reason that the country being broke makes socialism more achievable?
If I can remember correctly (and I probably can't) I think they figured Obama would cause mass unrest, bankrupt the country with insane economic policies, then use that as excuse to implement martial law, then use that to pass a law that says we do socialism now.
I'm pretty sure I remember that rhetoric going around during Biden too.
Eh, replace socialism with a dictatorship and that describes the current administration.
Of course. Every accusation is a confession.
Well that's fake news. Trump being a pedo is fact.
Yeah, I agree with you. The assertion was that no one was ever fired for saying anything about Obama, and all I'm saying is that's not the case.
While I agree with the sentiment, there's always 1 person who says something really racist or something and does get into trouble, but usually gets a bunch of right wing support too.
Edit: Google search mentions several, including Ferguson police officer being extremely racist, a teacher also being racist calling Michelle a gorilla, a NY police officer got a mere 60 days for a slur and suggesting the president "go die in a shallow grave."
The overall point stands that they did way worse than someone calling out the truth, but right wing defenders will definitely say it happened with Obama too.
I guess, Obama didn’t respond like this:
why does it look so weak coming from that lumbering husk of a person with a little curved appendage
If you fire someone for mocking the prez, you're the asshole.
It's a popular stance, he can start a GoFundMe and not have to worry about money for a while.
Apparently there is one and it's already over 200k
There are at least two and the other is at nearly $90k, as of a moment ago. The fact that there are two is concerning, but if both go to him, he’s already over $300k
And there's me who's been calling that obese orange imbecile for free. Fuck sake.
go do it in person and make bank
If only I could boycott Ford more than I already am.
Ford are fash sympathizers, who could've guessed
Ah he's only suspended and a union member. I heard that the suspension will likely be short (3 days was the figure someone in the same union said on the other site). I'm sure we'll hear all about it if he is actually fired.
Mad props to him for seeing his opportunity, realising it was once in a lifetime and grabbing it with both hands.
Top 10 reasons to be in a union:can yell at donald without getting sacked
Henry Ford was an open Nazi to the point the Feds removed him from the business during WW2.
He wasnt just a fuckin open Nazi, Hitler practically wrote him a goddamn Love Letter in Mein Kampf.
Ford also financially supported the Nazi Party in its early days
Also received the highest medal and honors that could be bestowed to a foreigner, from Nazi Germany.
Then, in 1942, when such things started reflecting badly on him, he suddenly went "oh no no no, Thats not me, I hope this whole business ends with world peace and love amongst everyone"
He is a national fuckin disgrace.
It's slightly more complicated than that. Still doesn't make him look good but it's more nuanced.
He was a Nazi and flagrant racist before Nazi was the unequivocally negative descriptor we think of it as today.
He thought Nazism was right for America the same way he thought square dancing would keep away the blacks and that the Jews would be undercut if he did car financing without banks.
He was awful and a patriot, so when Germany went to war with America he was unequivocally in favor of destroying the Germans.
He still agreed with them on everything else.
Ford already sucked. Since I'm in the market for a new vehicle Ford was already off the table. This doesn't change much but supports my claim.
I had the misfortune of renting a couple cars recently.
As a renter Toyota still required me to set up an account to do anything besides basically radio on the central console. Certainly no maps or phone connections.
Ford gave full functionality, but would block one of the info screens if the seat belt was unbuckled, even if you were parked. Want to see your average efficiency at the end of a trip? Make sure your buckled in for that info. Make sure your passengers are, too. This vehicle didn't seem to have a built-in map, which seems dumb, but the phone could be connected and I suppose android auto would pass the info across. I didn't need the functionality that much, and after a couple days the phone connection went crazy and started connecting and disconnecting so I removed my phone from the list.
Neither car was impressing me too much on the entertainment functionality and if it was my vehicle I may have put in the effort to resolve these, but not for something I was only using for a few days. From the performance side, I was happier with the Toyota Corolla. Part of that is I prefer sedans and the free upgrade to the Ford Escape wasn't something I really wanted (not the poorer fuel efficiency, either).
So yeah, Ford sucks.
Every single Ford employee needs to call Trump a pedophile protector now. They can't fire everyone.
Yeah, FoMoCo is shit, and Henry Ford was a racist shithead, but it's not about supporting Ford. It's about resisting the regime.
We'll deal with Ford once we've reclaimed our democracy.
Racist is putting it lightly... he was a Nazi. He owned a newspaper pumping out Nazi literature and was admired by the leaders of the Nazi party.
He even has his own entry in the Holocaust Encyclopedia. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/antisemitism-and-henry-fords-international-jew
Damn. I knew he was shitty, but never bothered to break the crust. Add him to the same list as Proctor & Gamble, I suppose. IIRC, they manufactured the gas for the camps.
Uhh I hate to break it to you but Henry Ford actually passed away a while ago. Sorry you had to find out like this.
American Proletariat has an aristeia moment.
an Eminem moment
Normalize calling out the pedo president and raking in the dough.
Best job opportunity in America right now. Pays about $270k for maybe 3 seconds of work.

I could just imagine some rando touring the White House, and they stumble across him. They start out so excited. Go in saying:
Pre-Trump, a President would have to resign with such a behaviour…
LBJ wouldn't.
The guy has two gofundmes right now:
TJ Sabula is a patriot!! at almost 481k
Support Ford Worker TJ Sabula during suspension at 330k
Guy's almost scoring a million!
Why do both have "donations paused"?
More importantly, how can one be sure the money will actually go to him?
TJ said he stopped both of them because it was already too much money and to donate to other causes. A TRUE patriot!!
Its not! I hope he pays his house and finds a better job. Paying off your house to stop being a slave is the American dream.
He will not struggle to find work. I'd hire him in an instant already and i don't even know his work ethic. He has the confidence and intelligence to call out the pedophile president like that, he is a good candidate.
What a guy!
Dude is my hero and is getting rewarded with money and it warms my heart.
Bravo TJ! Fuck Ford for allowing a felon, pedophile and rapist on their property.
Ford, founded by an OG Nazi sympathizer, now firing an opponent of a modern Nazi sympathizer. The circle is now complete.
So I guess we can add Ford to the list of pedophile protectors.
They've been nazi lovers for a loooong time.
True.
Someone did and it's already at 220k
Canceled for calling out a pedophile.
Their idea of Freedom of Speech means calling people racial slurs without facing any consequences and then cancelling someone for saying the inconvenient truth.
he's not a pedophile protector, he's just a pedophile
He's both.
Where is his go fund me? If those Republicans can help out pedophiles and racist, we can help out a patriot!

The story of the emperor with no clothes has a very optimistic view of society because in real life the boy who shouted out that he had no clothes would be beaten with a stick.
That man has more decency, honour and accountability than the great majority of your political apparatus.
I too take offense at that, the president is a pedophile himself, while also a pedophile protecter, it's his wonderful secret. Such an enigma, a child fucking enigma that israel has tapes of fucking children.
If I got to piss off that orange rapist you could suspend me too. Heck, I'm a straight man, but you could sodomize me with a pineapple in exchange for getting a solid punch in his face.
Not sure I know of any queer people with this specific kink either you know
Yeah, I think the thought went on sort of a little walk there. It started out by just getting good ol' regular sodomized, but then the thought stumbled over "I guess getting a dick in my output port isn't bad enough, to convey the intensity of my desire for punching the dude in his stupid lying face" thus we end up with me getting a pineapple up my rectum.
But then again we shouldn't rule anything out, rule 34 and all
I'm fine waiting for 4 years to pick up whatever is left of our society if Congress doesn't have the balls to impeach this guy back to ruzzia, but I want to see legislation introduced to specifically ban anyone who is a racist asshole from ever taking office at any level in our government. What is happening is not acceptable.
As someone who's neck is potentially on the chopping block in the regime, can we not with the "these Nazis are so gonna get it in 4 years" shit? It absolutely screams "this doesn't effect me but I want the other liberals to know it upsets me a little bit"
Agreed. This Saturday is gonna be a big one of protesting.
Fuck 4 years. He's already proven that the American people need to mussolini the mango.
So it will be not a Ford for me. People like that should get up in ranks.
Where are the freeze peach warriors when you need them?
“He has no regrets whatsoever”, is this a quote from the employee, or from Trump about being a pedophilic predator?
Yes.
His only mistake was that he called him a pedophile protector, not just a pedophile.
If I get fired for expressing my state of mind being less effective because my friends and clients are not white US natural born citizens, so be it. Yeah, it's fucking stressful. But I will not be silent when people are being sent to concentration camps, citizens are being murdered, and a PMC is profiting off each kidnapping.
I won't debate it. I won't call a coworker a Nazi fuck to their face. But I will not be silenced when this horrifying shit is going on.
I have privilege as a WASP. Yes it's a risk. Yes I have family.
But I will not be silent.
You have the right to protest, good for him
Do you have right to protect during work, while at work and does that right safeguard you from any repercussions (suspension, firing) from your employer? Certain labour action stuff is protected in Finland but no idea about the US.
It varies depending on the company. I can at my current job but I’m sure at most big to major corporations, likely not.
Does that come from some agreement with the company or the law?
That also depends. Either my company it’s in an agreement and company policy that you sign to follow. Like dress causal, don’t speak bad about the company on social media. Recent news about this guy, he’s in a union. He has more protection than your average worker.
Free speech must be dead.
Sunshines true facts can actually score a win against the revolting malignant narcissist.
We have to help this guy out if he loses his job or his family if Trump offs him.
But he was wrong. Trump IS the PedOTUS, not just the protector.
