MIAMI — Trump supporters gathered at Versailles late Tuesday afternoon to get a glimpse of the former president as he pulled up to the famed Cuban restaurant and bakery, walked in and immediately cried out: “Are you ready? Food for everyone!”
Trump, traveling in a motorcade from the Miami federal courthouse, made a strategic detour on his way back to New Jersey to court his ardent supporters at the Little Havana bakery that adjoins the restaurant, a GOP stronghold for Hispanic voters. They returned the love by taking photos, blowing kisses and singing “Happy Birthday,” a day before Trump’s 77th birthday Wednesday.
They were thrilled Trump stopped in their neighborhood spot following his arraignment in Miami federal court. Prior to Versailles, Trump pleaded not guilty Tuesday to the 37-count federal indictment accusing him of deliberating keeping hundreds of classified government documents at his Palm Beach estate after he left the White House in January 2021.
