The narrative was written in a very strong typeface that was as black as the mark intended to damage former President Donald Trump’s reputation.
“Surprise: Trump Reportedly Stiffed a Restaurant Full of His Supporters He’d Promised to Buy Lunch,” After being arraigned on mishandling of classified material charges on Tuesday, Trump made a pit stop at Versailles, a well-known Cuban restaurant in Miami, according to Vanity Fair’s story.

Bess Levin, a journalist for Vanity Fair, combined Trump’s propensity for lying with his cheapness into a damaging exposé. The world saw the president in a different light as a result of this disclosure.
But at the moment, it is questionable.
Eventually, Newsweek made an effort to assemble the information and concluded by writing: “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.”
This narrative was inspired by a Miami New Times article in which the boundaries between factual reporting and creative storytelling were blurred.
Trump reportedly said, “Food for everyone!” while sneering at him as “glad-handing,” according to the allegation.
“It turns out no one got anything. Not even a cafecito to-go,” the report said.
“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,” the report said.
Trump’s facts were requested to be interpreted negatively on social media and covered with provocative undertones.
NO WAY! The Shocking Truth About Trump Exposed
“Donald Trump STIFFED Miami restaurant where he did a publicity stunt after arrest and arraignment. He announced he was paying for everyone’s food — then he left without paying for ANYTHING. Standard Trump. Fake generosity. Fake wealth. Fake everything. It’s all a con,” Twitter user wrote something.
Then Newsweek joined the debate, citing footage of Trump’s speech. “the eatery was packed with security, press, and supporters and did not seem to have (or be serving) any customers.”
“Later in the footage, the cameraman moves through the restaurant’s kitchen, which didn’t show any food preparation or cooking. It was only shortly after this that Trump left, stopping by for about 10 minutes,” the report said.
Journalist Laine Doss of the Miami New Times responded to a query from Newsweek by saying that the sensationalized claims on other platforms were not consistent with the substance of her report.
“I never wrote that he didn’t pay. I wrote that there was no food. That’s all I wrote,” Doss said. “No food was ordered, he left within 10 minutes and never got a chance to order, and nobody ate because there was no ordering. So there was no ordering, and so no paying, and no bill, and he was only there for 10 minutes.”
All of this prompted Newsweek to reach the following conclusion: “It appears that no order was made and the restaurant may not have been in a position to honor requests at the time, given the number of people in the venue.”
The publication that first published the story, Business Insider, subsequently appended a disclaimer stating that a Trump spokesperson said that Trump had “offered to buy food” although his backers “followed him outside” as he left “and did not place orders themselves.”
The spokesman said that all meal costs were covered by the campaign’s advance team.
It’s time to stick a bat up the arses of the media getting tired of their Líes!
the media in this country should be held accountable for their lies. a jail term at hard labor would be nice. they are all commie lyers.
