Patrons at the 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 Trump 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 front-runner only said there’d be food for everyone at the restaurant — not that he was buying it.

Just another one of hundreds of examples of why I never, not one day, ever believed a word he said. 

He is maddeningly always falling up the stairs.

Well, at least he fulfilled his 2016 campaign promise of self funding his election since he was so rich…..oh wait…😅

“There is no evidence that the restaurant or anyone else at Versailles was short-changed by the former president, as some of the social media posts suggest.”

Once again, you add 2+2 and get 47. Clue to the clueless: Trump has done actual things to gripe about, yet you keep on posting made up foolishness. All you accomplish with stuff like this is to discredit yourself.

[aubaseball 2,829]

Taxes, Death and white 50 cent posting countless articles on Trump.   What are things that are inevitable?  You are correct for $400.
