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.

The former president has been accused of walking out on bills in the past. USA Today tracked down hundreds of blue-collar workers and lawyers in 2016 who claimed the Queens native stiffed them after they provided services for his business.

When Republican presidential candidate Tim Scott announced his candidacy through a broken microphone in May, Trump advised him on social media to stiff the event’s contractor. Trump’s companies filed bankruptcy on six occasions.

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.

    This rules, it's like the 2 3 separate campaign stops Trump did where he paid to have people bussed out to the venue but there was no bus back and they were just stuck there

    this is really a perfect representation of the way American presidential elections work. Promise to give people something they want, then actively dodge delivering on the promise and then have an army of commentators talk about how the promise was taken out of context after the fact.

        That's even unintentionally wrong. More like $1200=$2000. Cuz those $600 came from our big wet president. :thicc-trump:

        He treats American politics and the news media with exactly the amount of respect they both deserve. Shame he's a rabid chud with his brain leaking out his ears

          He's the dada president. Every sacred thing in the institution was profaned by America's Freudian Id being given its most serious position. I wish we had a left-wing equivalent who could constructively call bullshit on everything in such an absurd way.

            That just doesn't work. If you have a principled stance and work with the institution, you're just playing the game. You have to be a self important dumb ass to pull off what he does. If anyone on this website had his resources and positions, no doubt more would be done and changed forever, more good caused and everything completed faster, but we could never be as funny.

    And That is How Donald Trump Taught The Miami Cubans About The Evils Of Gommulism :no-choice:

      Literally the most based president with his constant struggle to bring down the genocidal American empire.
