Donald Trump recent controversy:  

Donald Trump gave a wave and a thumbs-up to crowds outside the federal courthouse in downtown Miami after pleading not guilty to criminal charges. He then headed to a Cuban restaurant where he warmly greeted waiting supporters in a camera-ready scene that resembled a campaign stop, and later he railed against the charges before a friendly crowd of invited guests at a private golf club he owns. In the largely unseen moments Tuesday -- his attorney entering his plea, Trump sitting grim-faced with arms folded across his chest -- the gravity of being the first former president charged with a federal crime was apparent.
