On Monday, Donald Trump asked his supporters to support him around the federal court in Miami, where the indictment hearing took place on Tuesday. He also requested that there be no riots and that they respect distances with protesters who were against them.
There were no incidents, in fact people moved freely, but there were more journalists than protesters. Police kept the two groups apart, fewer than 1,000 people on both sides. According to a Miami police spokesman, there were only a few heated debates between the two parties. “There was no violence and no need for arrests,” he told OnCuba.
Not many people were expected, among other reasons because it was a weekday. According to television images, the majority were elderly followers of the ex-president. They marched freely with flags calling for Trump’s 2024 election, attacking President Biden and accusing special counsel Jack Smith of being pro-Democrat and anti-Republican. And, not to vary, they described the accusation as a “witch hunt.”
“I am, first of all, because we believe that our Donald Trump is not perfect. Let’s start with that. But we can still trust, I believe, although I have doubts, in justice,” said Florencio Rodríguez Acosta. “If there were full, clear and transparent justice, Trump would be in third place on the list and Hillary (Clinton) would have already gone through this, and Mr. Biden, that the Lord is going to welcome him in his glory, would have already happened For this. Ah, but he played the bad guy in the movie, who? The one who loves America, the one who believes in freedom, the one who says that all countries have the right to be free and sovereign and not united in a world coalition by obligation or imposition. That’s why I support Donald Trump.”
By his side, Yony Leiva told local television: “I am here supporting President Trump for the injustice they want to commit against him. It is an injustice because Hillary Clinton had 33 secret videos, 10 computers, everything she burned and ripped apart. Joe Biden had a car full of secret documents in a garage without being president. Right now the FBI showed that Biden won with 500 million pesos and nothing happens. There is no case, there is nothing, ”he continued.
The bulk of Trump’s electorate is of Cuban origin. Perhaps that is why when he left the court, the former president headed to Calle Ocho and got off at the iconic Versailles Restaurant to say hello.
He was received in style and with songs of happy birthday because tomorrow Wednesday he turns 77 years old.
“I knew that he would not forget us. He is faithful to us and we are faithful to him,” Fidel González told the Local 10 network.
But Trump didn’t even have a cup of coffee. He quickly greeted those present and went straight to the airport.
