Trump’s $TRUMP Coin Dinner Draws Big Money, Big Names and.. ‘Walmart steak’
President Donald Trump hosted a high-profile dinner at his golf club in Virginia for the top 220 holders of his $TRUMP memecoin. Each guest had invested an average of $1.78 million, totaling nearly $394 million in token value. The exclusive event featured luxury food, Trump-branded merchandise, and even custom watches. Attendees included crypto billionaire Justin Sun and former NBA player Lamar Odom.
Trump gave a short 20-minute speech, but not all guests were impressed—some criticized the food quality and felt the event lacked substance. Despite mixed reviews, the coin remains popular, trading around $0.19 at the time of writing.
The dinner has raised serious ethical concerns. Lawmakers like Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jeff Merkley are calling for investigations, worried about political influence being sold to wealthy crypto investors, some of whom are foreign nationals.
This event highlights the growing overlap between politics and cryptocurrency. As digital assets become more mainstream, questions about ethics, transparency, and influence in the political world are only getting louder.
