Many news media outlets made false accusations against President Trump, alleging that he had broken a promise to get “food for everyone” at a Cuban restaurant. However, these reports were quietly corrected later on.
Shortly after President Trump appeared in court to face federal charges, “journalists” were quick to assert that he had reneged on his promise to treat his supporters to a meal at the Versailles restaurant in Miami.
The Miami New Times claimed, citing an anonymous “knowledgeable source,” that nobody received anything, not even a takeaway cafecito. This accusation was swiftly echoed by outlets such as Business Insider and Salon. However, team Trump has since debunked these claims, highlighting that the media outlets never bothered to verify the information with them before publishing their hit pieces.
Insider’s revised article acknowledged that a spokesperson for President Trump clarified that he had indeed offered to buy food for his supporters. However, it was explained that the supporters followed him outside when he was leaving, and they did not place their own orders. Trump’s advance team stepped in and covered the cost of any to-go meals that were ordered.
Despite this clarification, the headline of Insider’s report still implies that Trump “left without paying for anything” at the time of publication.
