Cuban Americans are protesting a plan by the DeSantis administration to donate land next to Miami's Freedom Tower for Donald Trump's presidential library, sparking controversy in the community.
Former President Donald Trump's visit to Versailles, a beloved restaurant in the Cuban exile community in Miami, after his arraignment at the federal courthouse provoked intense reactions from Cuban Americans. Some praised Versailles for hosting a politician they saw as "anti-communist" and wrongly accused, while others pledged to boycott the gathering space they'd long cherished, condemning the enthusiastic reception of someone accused of undermining national security. Trump's popularity among Cuban Americans isn't driven only by beliefs that he's the victim of some left-wing witch hunt, but also by the vision of America he's selling, which is the complete and utter opposite of everything they perceive they left behind.
