Dinner with Trump: The Ultimate Crypto Power Play?
In a bold fusion of politics and crypto, former President Donald Trump is hosting an exclusive black-tie dinner on May 22 at his Washington, D.C. golf club. The guest list? The top 220 holders of his $TRUMP memecoin. The elite top 25 will enjoy a private reception and a VIP tour the following day .
This announcement sent $TRUMP soaring over 70%, with trading volumes spiking by 548% . While some see it as a savvy marketing move, others raise concerns about the ethics of monetizing presidential access.
Notably, crypto billionaire Justin Sun claims to be the top $TRUMP holder, securing his spot at the dinner . However, after confirmations were sent out, nearly half of the qualifiers—including 17 VIPs—liquidated their holdings, suggesting low confidence in the coin’s long-term value .
As the crypto world watches, this event blurs the lines between digital assets and political influence. Is this the future of fundraising, or a step too far?
