Inside the Room at Trump’s Meme Coin Dinner
- President Donald Trump held a black-tie dinner on Thursday night at his golf club near Washington, DC, for top holders of his $TRUMP meme coin.
- The event rewarded about 220 investors who purchased roughly $148 million of the coin, many of whom were foreign nationals, drawing criticism over selling access to the presidency.
- Guests, who completed background checks, dined on a multi-course meal and heard Trump recount his 2024 victory, while the 25 largest investors attended a VIP reception with him.
- A prominent cryptocurrency investor of Chinese descent, who reportedly holds $1.3 million in a Trump-themed meme coin, shared a video praising the gathering, while opponents criticized the dinner as a pay-for-access event, a claim that White House representatives have strongly denied.
- The dinner sparked protests and political concern about foreign influence, yet the White House insisted Trump acted only in the public interest and did not profit from his presidency.
