Cuban Americans who don’t support disgraced ex-president Donald Trump — and there are many of us — are disgusted and furious with his post-arraignment host, the landmark restaurant-bakery Versailles.
People on social media are calling an “embarrassment” and “shameful” the obsequious way Miami Republicans embraced Trump, sang happy birthday and organized a prayer circle — as if he had returned from fighting a war, not surrendering after a historic federal indictment.
But should we really take Versailles to task — or was the Trump takeover an inevitable act of democratic free speech, as some claim in defense of the restaurant and/or Trump’s supporters?
