Trump Coin Circle Dinner:
Hundreds of protesters, Trump comes and goes quickly, 'Top Brother' Sun Yuchen steals the show
On May 22, a luxurious yet controversial crypto dinner was held at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, USA, with President Trump personally attending.
This dinner, named 'Trump Coin Night,' invited 220 of the largest holders of 'Trump Coin,' with the top 25 receiving the opportunity for a VIP meeting with Trump himself. As the 'Top Brother,' Sun Yuchen – the founder of TRON – undoubtedly became the center of attention.
Not only did Sun Yuchen interact closely with Trump during the dinner, but he was also grandly invited to the stage, wearing a Trump-branded gold watch worth $100,000, stealing the spotlight.
This dinner was not just a social gathering in the coin circle but a power show with significant symbolic meaning. Supporters claim it indicates that the crypto industry is moving towards the mainstream, while critics argue that it is a dangerous signal of a利益输送游戏 (benefit transfer game) wrapped in a memecoin disguise, deeply tying the presidential identity with speculative products.
Trump hurriedly left, making the dinner 'Brother Sun's' stage
According to on-site recordings, Trump repeatedly criticized the Biden administration's crackdown on the crypto industry during his speech, reaffirming his commitment to supporters:
We will make America the 'Crypto Capital of the World,' and we are rapidly achieving this goal.
The entire speech lasted not long, just several dozen minutes, after which he quickly left the venue, returning by helicopter. According to netizens, after Trump's speech ended, attendees took pictures with Sun Yuchen, turning the entire dinner into 'Brother Sun's Dinner.'
