A Michigan Ford worker, who was suspended after a confrontation with President Donald Trump, just received a major donation from former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star Jim Cornette.
The $5,000 donation from Cornette went to a GoFundMe page supporting TJ Sabula, which has surged past the $480,000 mark as of Thursday.
The incident occurred during a presidential visit to Ford’s Dearborn F-150 plant.
In a video confirmed as authentic by the White House, Sabula is heard shouting the phrase “pedophile protector,” a reference to the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
In response, Trump appears to mouth twice the words “(expletive) you” before raising his middle finger.
Following the exchange, Sabula, a union-backed auto worker, was suspended by Ford Motor Company, according to Michigan Advance.
Since his suspension, the public has offered financial support. The “TJ Sabula is a patriot!!!” GoFundMe page is more than halfway to its $800,000 goal.
“If anyone knows TJ Sabula I have a thank-you, a handshake and a check for $5,000 ready for him,” Cornette wrote on X.
Sabula, told The Washington Post he had no regrets for his actions.
“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” he told the media outlet. “And today I think I did that.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has uttered profane language in public.
When a ceasefire in hostilities between Iran and Israel fell apart in June 2025, Trump lashed out at the two countries, telling reporters that they “don’t know what the (expletive) they are doing.”
