CNN’s Jake Tapper lost his cool Tuesday and demanded producers remove former President Donald Trump from the screen after he smiled after being arrested by the Biden administration.
Deputy sheriffs wanted Trump and co-defendant Walt Nauta in federal court in Miami, after which they were fingerprinted and processed. Mr Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
After leaving court, Trump stopped at Versailles, a Cuban restaurant in Miami, and was seen praying with religious leaders before buying food for everyone in the cafe.

“Control room folks, look no further,” Mr. Tupper said, interrupting legal analyst Ellie Hoenig. “He’s trying to turn it into a spectacle, into a campaign ad. That’s enough. We’ve already seen it. Let’s take another look at the 37 charges facing Donald Trump.”
MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace had a similar reaction, telling MSNBC reporters, “You don’t have to watch it.”
Now we know where he is. ”
