#DinnerWithTrump
Top holders of Donald Trump's meme cryptocurrency, $TRUMP, are being offered exclusive access including a private dinner and a White House tour. The top 220 holders of the coin, based on their average holdings from April 23 to May 12, will be invited to a special gala dinner with President Trump on May 22 at his country club near Washington, D.C.
Additionally, the 25 largest holders will receive an ultra-exclusive VIP reception with the president and a special White House tour, although the White House tour mention was later removed from some promotional materials.
This event has sparked controversy and ethical concerns, with critics calling it a pay-to-play scheme and questioning the propriety of selling access to the president and the White House through cryptocurrency holdings. The White House has not commented on the nature of the tours or how they differ from standard White House tours.
The $TRUMP coin was launched just before Trump's inauguration in January 2025 and has experienced significant price volatility. The announcement of the dinner and VIP events caused the coin's price to surge by over 60%.
