Justin Sun Defends Meme Coins at Trump’s Exclusive Dinner
Tron founder Justin Sun recently attended a special dinner hosted by former President Donald Trump with official $TRUMP token holders. At the event, Sun pushed back against criticisms of meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, calling these tokens key drivers of innovation and user adoption in the U.S. crypto space.
He dismissed “bribery” claims related to the $TRUMP token as “narrow-minded,” and praised Trump’s pro-crypto stance as a turning point that could restore America’s leadership in digital assets. Sun highlighted that while some meme coins fail, their entrepreneurial spirit brings millions of new users into crypto.
Sun also noted many crypto companies and investors are reconsidering moving operations back to the U.S. under Trump’s more welcoming policies, contrasting with the previous administration’s tougher approach. Despite ongoing legal challenges, Sun sees current regulatory pauses as a positive sign for the sector’s future in America.
