Not many people like Donald Trump, many of which don't because of his childish behavior. Sticking up the middle finger to someone you don't like, especially someone who so happens do be the president, is a childish behavior. You should not be going around swearing at people and giving them fingers just because you do no like them. Although, you also should not be fired from your work place for speaking your mind. The first amendment in the United States of America I believe is, Freedom of speech. I think that what this woman did was not right, but could be considered as freedom of speech, and should not lose her career over it. Many people make mistakes all the time, some bigger than others. I believe that wherever the place she worked for, should have talked to her and gave her a minor punishment and a warning to make sure nothing like this happend again, and if it did to make it clear that she would then be fired. But instead, they just fired their employee without any communication to my knowledge. This if unfortunate for both party for losing and employee and for the women who lost her job. The consequences that the women received, I believe, were a bit to harsh. The president himself goes around swearing and acting like a child constantly, in front of millions of people too and does not receive and ounce of punishment. This is not just and is not the direction we want our world to be going in. The woman should have just needed to apologize on behalf of herself and her company to the president and insured that it would not happen again. I believe that the women was just having a bad day, and let hr emotions get the best of her. Although this is not justifiable for the actions hse did, it should not cause her to lose her job.
