Lots to get to tonight, but let me just start here, because today Donald Trump was touring a Ford plant in Michigan.

You may have seen this already, before giving a speech on the economy in Detroit.

And when presidents, I can tell you, do these sorts of things, they are usually highly contained and highly choreographed.

And that is how Donald Trump likes things to be.

I mean, in his safe little bubble, shielded from any form of criticism or pushback whatsoever.

He loves to be adored and they make it that way, so that the people around him adore him.

But for one brief moment, during that tour of that Ford plant today, that bubble was pierced.

When a heckler shouted at Trump and seemed to call him a, quote, pedophile protector.

Now, Trump pointed right at him, mouthed F you, and then appeared to give him the middle finger.

You just saw him do it right there.

And the White House seemed to confirm as much in a statement to several news outlets late today,

calling it, quote, an appropriate and unambiguous response.

I have given a lot of statements from White House's.

I'm trying to imagine, well, any president I ever worked for doing that and defending it,

if so.

But here we are in 2026.

Now, I raised this because it is absurd and ludicrous and crazy that the president did that, but also because the whole episode just kind of perfectly sums up his posture toward the country he is supposed to be running right now.

I mean, it kind of feels like that middle finger was directed at all of us.

At every person in this country who still believes in common decency right now.

Doesn't, not even in a political way, just common decency.

A middle finger to everyone criticizing, say, the cover up of the Epstein files, to everyone criticizing

the decision to take control of Venezuela, to everyone whose health care costs are skyrocketing right now, to everyone speaking out about a bogus investigation into the chair of the Federal Reserve.
