Patrons at Miami eatery Versailles cheered when Donald Trump twice declared “Food for everyone!” during a surprise stop at the Little Havana hotspot. Then he left without buying food for anyone, according to a local report.
Fresh off pleading not guilty to criminal charges in a Miami federal court, Trump was all smiles as he entered the crowded restaurant Tuesday. Well-wishers sang “Happy Birthday” to the former New Yorker on the eve of his 77th birthday.
Trump supporters told NBC 6 South Florida they thought the 45th president was treated unfairly when he was indicted on more than three-dozen counts of mishandling classified information obtained while he was in the White House.
Citing “a knowledgeable source,” Miami’s New Times said Trump’s visit lasted roughly 10 minutes, leaving no time for much other than shaking hands and waving. Neither the restaurant nor Trump’s campaign has replied to a request for comment.
But that isn’t to say the former president doesn’t sometimes reach for his wallet.
When Clemson University’s football team won a national championship in 2019, their White House visit included hundreds of offerings from Burger King and McDonald’s that the former president claimed he purchased personally.
Trump defenders on Twitter noted the GOP frontrunner only said there’d be food for everyone at the restaurant — not that he was buying it.

..he is talking about the restaurant's function as a purveyor of comestibles, not offering them a free lunch. It sure sounds like an offer of a free lunch to me.

Yep... I dealt with this in my business too.

It’s just more fodder for the new, trendy “Trump Arraignment Syndrome”.

Lol, How idiotic... They don’t know that he didn’t. Trump has a secretary everywhere he goes.Exactly. How reliable is this? A “knowledgeable source?”
Citing “a knowledgeable source,” Miami’s New Times said…
And the snide little dig about the meal he served the Clemson football team pretty much confirms that this is just another media bit piece.

Oh for heavens sake, he probably expects the restaurant owner to send a bill.

Mr. Trump does not usually grab his wallet to pay for things, that is normally left to his “body man” Walt Nauta, but the judge had just ruled that Trump was not allowed to talk to his aide because he would be testifying in the trial as a co-defendant.

So one reporter that was not there complained that Trump didn’t get out his credit card and play the trash.
Why aren’t we hearing from the patrons that had to pay their own tab? If Trump stiffed the restaurant full of guests - the videos would be vital!

Sounds like another 100 years in jail for Trump because some stupid reporter didn't get his quiche lorraine.

Well, did the bill get paid? Has the owner sent the bill to Trump? How would Trump know what the amount would be since he left ahead of the full amount being known? Did Trump prepay for the gathering and food? Did somebody else pay? To say that Trump left without paying is to suggest that something was wrong and is typical commie dem dirty politics. It will never stop with the anti Trump commie dem supporters. Sneaky and lying is how they live their politics and steal elections.
This is why Donald Trump does not alter his approach to doing what he wants just because of what might be used against him.
