Trump turns 77 tomorrow. "Some birthday," he says after his arraignment.

Trump’s first stop after court was the iconic Versailles restaurant and bakery in the Little Havana neighborhood.

Inside, a group of people greeted him and laid hands on him in prayer. Those in the room also sang “Happy Birthday” to Trump, who will turn 77 Wednesday.

“Some birthday. Some birthday,” he said. “We’ve got a government that is out of control.”

Trump’s aide and co-defendant, Walt Nauta, joined him at the eatery, helping people take selfies with Trump.
