I know there's a thread in LBN, but this is the local angle.

Monday, Nov. 6, 2017 by Chantalle Edmunds
A woman who gave President Donald Trump the middle finger after he left his golf club in Sterling on Oct. 28 has been fired over the gesture, according to media reports. ... Photographer Brendan Smialowski with AFP and Getty Images captured the incident, which can be found at TheGuardian.com{.}
The woman, identified by The Washington Post as 50-year-old Juli Briskman, told Huffington Post she decided to tell her employer, government contractor Akima LLC, what had happened as the photo was circulating online.
{Trump} was passing by and my blood just started to boil,” Briskman told Huffington Post. “I’m thinking, DACA recipients are getting kicked out. He pulled ads for open enrollment in Obamacare. Only one-third of Puerto Rico has power. I’m thinking, he’s at the damn golf course again.”
According to Briskman, her bosses called her into a meeting and said she had violated the company's social media policy by using the photo as her profile picture on Twitter and Facebook.
