"Are you ready? Food for everyone!" shouted former President Trump as he visited Miami's Versailles restaurant following his arraignment on Tuesday. The cheers that followed signaled the crowd interpreted his words as a promise. Except that it didn't work out that way. Trump's 10-minute stop at the Cuban restaurant left "no time for anyone to eat anything, much less place an order," reports the Miami New Times.

A Trump spokesperson tells Insider that the former president "offered to buy food" for his supporters but they "followed him outside" as he departed "and did not place orders themselves." The rep claims the campaign's advance team did pay for to-go meals. But "it turns out no one got anything. Not even a cafecito to-go," per the New Times. Trump himself ate food from McDonald's on his flight to New Jersey, the New York Times reported. (More Donald Trump stories.)
