A man in a prisoner’s striped suit and a chain with a ball tied to his ankle who crossed the path of the caravan in which former US President Donald Trump left the Miami courts this Tuesday has assured that “it was worth it” having spent the night in the dungeon.

Domenic Santana, 61, and raised in New York, spoke to reporters from Miami television channels upon leaving Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Wednesday, after posting bail. “I was able to release my message. Trump should be in prison for a long time,” said Santana, who has assured that what is important to him is that the former president had to see the poster with the legend “lock him up” that he was carrying when he forced the caravan to stop.

The man was Tuesday morning at Trump’s hotel and golf club in Doral, with his black and white striped suit and the “Lock him up” sign, hours before the former president (2017-2021), who this Wednesday turns 77,was prosecuted for 37 criminal offenses related to the secret documents he had kept in his Florida home after leaving the White House.

“Master of Con”

Santana, who explained that as a former New Yorker he knows how to recognize a “master con man“He went to the courts in the afternoon and there he argued with the supporters of the former president and stood with his sign in front of one of the trucks in Trump’s caravan as he was leaving the place.

According to the Local 10 channel, the Santana arrest report says that one of the vehicles in the caravan must have made a risky maneuver to avoid running over him and that could have put “the life of the former president in danger.” In addition, it caused “the public and the media to run towards him and jump into the road, while the defendant yelled at Trump supporters to attract them,” it adds.

According to the police report, Santana had been warned since morning to keep his distance from Trump supporters to avoid conflict, but he ignored it. He was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting authority without violence, and disrupting traffic.

Santana has asserted that it will not be the only time that he makes Trump see what he really is. The next time he will go dressed in an orange convict suit, as he has announced. In the 2016 presidential election campaign, Trump popularized the slogan “Lock her up” to refer to his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, whom he accused and still accuses of being “corrupt”.
