25-year-old internet phenomenon Nicholas Pinto, who purchased $360,000 worth of TRUMP tokens to attend the special cryptocurrency dinner hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump, left the dinner feeling hungry and disappointed.
According to Fortune magazine, Pinto, who sat down after paying a large sum, said the food on the menu was terrible: "We had a piece of steak that looked like it was bought from Walmart."
According to Pinto, the menu items “Trump Organic Garden Salad” and “Double Main Course” (filet mignon and fried flounder) served that night were not well-received by everyone at the table. “That was the worst meal we’ve ever had in our lives,” Pinto said, adding that the biggest disappointment of the night was not being able to take a photo with Trump.
Pinto said he hoped to try Trump's favorite Big Mac or pizza when he attended the dinner party, and he thought it would be tastier than the meal the night before. However, his expectations were not met. Pinto said Trump’s speech was "just empty words" and most guests did not have the opportunity to interact directly with the president.
Even Caitlin Sinclair, who hosted the dinner and is also a host on the OANN media channel, complained: "Trump didn’t even take a picture with me."
Pinto's appearance at the dinner was also notable, as it faced opposition from the nonprofit organization Public Citizen, which called Trump's cryptocurrency projects "one of the most corrupt enterprises in U.S. political history." The co-chair of this organization, Robert Weissman, directly criticized the event.
Pinto, who said he was still hungry after the event ended around 10 PM, ended the night with a late-night snack. "The only thing I could eat all night was the bread and butter that were handed out at the beginning," he concluded.
