After former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 counts in Miami over (allegedly!) hoarding sensitive classified documents from his time in the White House at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, he went to Versailles in Little Havana, where some of his sycophantic supporters waited for their twice-impeached, twice indicted hero to show up.

The crowd sang him 'Happy Birthday' a day early. Trump then declared, "Food for everyone!" How nice. But did the man known for not paying his bills pick up the tab? Of course not.

New Times reports:

So, New Times wondered, did Trump — who famously fancies his chicken from KFC and his steaks well-done and slathered with ketchup but isn't exactly known for picking up the check — treat his fan club to a spread of croquetas, pastelitos, and cubanos chased with cafecitos?

It turns out no one got anything. Not even a cafecito to-go.

A knowledgeable source assures New Times that Donald Trump's stop at Versailles totaled about ten minutes, leaving no time for anyone to eat anything, much less place an order.

Twitter users had a little fun over the news.

Trump still owes 14 cities money after they provided police and security while he was holding rallies in the area. Trump is known for stiffing contractors, too. So, this is the least surprising news of the day.
