The $TRUMP coin is a digital currency of the "meme coin" type launched by Trump before his inauguration in January 2025. Its market value reached 27 billion dollars within hours, but it experienced severe fluctuations, dropping to 7.14 dollars in April before rising again with the announcement of the dinner.
The Controversy Surrounding the Dinner
This event sparked widespread criticism, as some considered it a conflict of interest between Trump's personal interests and his political position, especially since major investors in the currency had the opportunity to meet the president in exchange for their investments. Government ethics watchdog organizations expressed concern about the potential impact of these investments on Trump's political decisions.
