Former President Donald Trump made a highly anticipated stop at Miami’s iconic Café Versailles following his arraignment in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The café, known as a gathering place for the politically active Cuban exile community, has witnessed numerous historic events and remains a significant hub for protests and debates. Trump’s visit was met with enthusiastic support from Cuban American supporters, who expressed their admiration and solidarity with the former president.
As Trump entered the café, he was greeted with an overwhelming response from his supporters. Several women expressed their love for him, reflecting the strong connection he has fostered with his base. Notably, spiritual leaders came together to offer prayers for Trump, acknowledging his role in standing against the perceived threats to the nation and expressing gratitude for his leadership.
Amidst the chants and cheers, Trump’s attention turned to the gathering of people at the café. He proclaimed, “Food for everyone!” which was met with an exuberant response from the crowd. This gesture showcased his appreciation for the support he received and demonstrated his desire to connect with people on a personal level.
The enthusiasm of the crowd was further amplified when supporters spontaneously burst into a rendition of “Happy Birthday” for the former president, who was celebrating his 77th birthday. Trump, acknowledging the warm gesture, jokingly commented on the current state of the government, emphasizing the need for change and expressing concerns about the nation’s direction.

During a brief interaction with the media, Trump voiced his discontent with the legal proceedings, referring to them as a “rigged deal.” He expressed frustration with what he perceives as a corrupt system, lamenting the nation’s challenges, including unsecured borders and various internal problems. His remarks highlighted his commitment to fighting against perceived injustices and his belief that the country is undergoing a decline that must be reversed.
Trump said, “I think it’s a rigged deal, here. We have a rigged country. We have a country that’s corrupt, we have a country that’s got no borders, we have a country that’s got nothing but problems. We’re a nation in decline, and then they do this stuff. And you see where the people are. We love the people, you see where they are. You see the crowds and everything else. We are in a country that is in decline like never before and we can’t let it happen.”
Trump also delivered remarks from Bedminster, New Jersey thanking his supporters.
