A young journalist is in Miami to cover the only president who’s been impeached and indicted more times than he’s been elected.
As she becomes familiar with the South Florida scene, she ends up near the opportunist defendant who is making a detour following his harrowing federal court appearance where Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 felony counts.
Sophie Alexander asks the so far twice impeached, twice indicted, loser, liar if he is ready for prison, while the mob increasingly unravels as she asks again, but the crowd‘s mental state continues to deteriorate, and it becomes immediately more apparent by throwing Sophie out of the restaurant.
Now. that same Cuban restaurant in Miami that hosted Donald Trump’s post-arraignment campaign stop is reportedly hit with a boycott for hosting “a criminal who endangered our national security.” But it gets even better… The leaders of the boycott blasted Trump, declaring, “It’s not as if he was charged with breaking a dish in the White House. He was charged with putting the national security of the United States in danger.” One of the leaders, who migrated to Miami from Cuba to flee Castro’s regime, declared that the restaurant hosting Trump was “an insult to the country that took us in.”
Another longtime Cuban regular of the restaurant, Versailles restaurant in Little Havana, declared, “I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go back there again. Trump is not just a regular politician. He’s a criminal It was all for show and it was a betrayal. He claims to be anti-communist, but in every other way, he’s a wannabe dictator.” Another Cuban regular took aim at Trump and his supporters, declaring that, “Trump’s supporters look like they’re possessed. We’ve seen these ‘rallies’ before. Fidel Castro did it.”
We've reached out to Sofie, as well as other reporters who were there. If and when they respond, this blog will be updated.
I should add that I am not a registered Republican or Democrat and that I was recruited by POTUS George H.W. Bush to direct TV Marti News. https://www.martinoticias.com/ The crowd was composed largely of Hispanic-heritage Americans… are these the same Cuban exiles we were defending? This is not the GOP I recall working for in Washington DC, at USIA TV.
'I asked Trump if he was ready to go to jail and I was shouted and sworn at by his fans'
Sophie Alexander, Sky's international affairs producer, was in the cafe when Trump dropped in.
She says:
A well known Miami restaurant and bakery just 20 minutes from the courthouse played host to spontaneous visit from Donald Trump following his court appearance.
After the Secret Service swept the area, a mixture of delighted cafe goers, loyal Trump supporters and right-wing media were told no one was getting in or out and the president was arriving shortly.
He strode in to cheers and screams. He was smiling, if looking a little red-faced and tired.
During a quiet second I asked him: 'President Trump are you ready to go to jail?'
He didn't reply.
I asked again and was met with a furious crowd booing and shouting 'get her out'. I tried to step down from the chair I was standing on and a man grabbed my arm before another told him not to touch me. As I was leaving the cafe another yelled 'stupid b****' in my face.
Not surprising perhaps. These are the most ardent of Trump supporters in a state where he is seen as King.

Donald Trump Crowd Turns On Journalist Over Question
This British TV producer who shouted "President Trump? Are you ready to go to jail?" at a Miami Cuban restaurant takes a twist. The guy who got in her face and called her a "Stupid B----" has self-identified, and he's a former member of the Trump Government who was involved in image polishing for Putin in America. He is Michael R. Caputo.
We've reached out to local reporters who were there as well as Sofie. If and when they respond, this blog will be updated,
