Trump Hosts $148 Million Crypto Investor Dinner at Golf Club

President Donald Trump hosted an exclusive dinner at his private golf club for the top investors of his $TRUMP meme coin, with attendees collectively spending around $148 million to $394 million for access. The event, held at the Trump National Golf Club near Washington, DC, included about 220 guests, many of whom are major crypto investors and some foreign nationals, sparking protests accusing the event of corruption and unethical influence. Chinese-born billionaire Justin Sun emerged as the largest known investor, holding about $18 million in $TRUMP tokens and receiving a special watch at the dinner. Attendees criticized the quality of the dinner and noted limited interaction with Trump, who made brief remarks emphasizing support for the crypto industry and criticizing the Biden administration's policies. Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, condemned the event as a blatant example of corruption, warning that it allowed wealthy crypto investors unprecedented access to the president while Trump profited financially from the token sales. The dinner has raised broader concerns about the use of crypto transactions to potentially buy political influence under a veil of anonymity.
