Trump Meme Coin VIP Dinner Reveals Steak Photos; TikTok Influencer Complains About the Meal’s Modest Appearance and Leaves Hungry
Trump Holds VIP Dinner for 220 Top Buyers of Trump Coin ($Trump)
Trump hosted a VIP dinner for the top 220 buyers of Trump Coin ($Trump). The White House argues that this is a private event for Trump, with attendees being his entrepreneurial counterparts rather than President Trump himself. However, what truly shocked everyone was the main course that night, which, after photos were leaked, was mocked by many as resembling an IKEA meal. A TikTok influencer attending the dinner even told the media that it was the worst meal he had ever had at a golf club, with small portion sizes leaving him hungry when he left.
The White House Calls the Dinner a Private Gathering
On Thursday evening, Trump hosted a formal black-tie dinner at a Virginia golf club for the first 220 VIP buyers of Trump Coin. Trump arrived on Air Force One and delivered a speech at a podium marked with the presidential seal. The White House stated that this was a private dining event, and Trump was merely using his personal time to attend. Many protesters believe Trump is illegally fundraising through the promotion of Trump Coin for his own benefit, especially since nearly half of the invited guests were identified as “foreigners.”
TikTok Influencer Invests $500,000 in Trump Coin for an IKEA Meal
The menu that evening featured filet mignon and flounder as the main courses. Despite the gold-plated Trump insignia on the plates, the dishes served to guests looked almost identical to meals sold at IKEA. TikTok influencer Nick Pinto told Wired magazine that this was the worst food he had ever had at the Virginia golf course. He invested $500,000 to purchase Trump family’s meme coin to qualify for the dinner with Trump, but he said the only good thing was the bread and butter, ultimately leaving the dinner hungry. A journalist uploaded a photo of a steak provided by an attendee, prompting online ridicule. CNBC reporter Steve Kovach remarked that he had eaten similar food on a budget airline. The plate contained only a small amount of food haphazardly arranged, with thin carrots next to a pumpkin, a scoop of mashed potatoes, and a small piece of steak, while the flounder looked like dry chicken.
The Ringer Senior Writer Compares Dinner to Fyre Festival
Joel Anderson, a senior writer for The Ringer, stated that the dinner’s food resembled that served at the Fyre Festival, an extravagant music festival that ultimately disappointed fans who paid a lot of money for tickets, leading to the founder’s imprisonment. Guests attending Trump’s dinner were not there for the food; they hoped for the opportunity to meet a world-class leader. However, after arriving at the golf club, Trump only delivered a 25-minute speech that briefly touched on cryptocurrencies.
Trump’s Business Reportedly Earns Over $300 Million Since Coin Launch
According to analysis from The Washington Post, since the launch of Trump Coin in January of this year, Trump’s business has reportedly earned over $300 million. It remains unclear how much the Trump Coin buyers paid in total to attend this dinner. Reports indicate that the top 25 holders on the list of Trump Coin possess a combined value of $140 million in Trump Coin.
Investment Director from Taiwan’s Cryptocurrency Exchange Invited
Taiwanese media reported that Vincent Liu, the investment director of Taiwan’s cryptocurrency platform Kronos Research, was also invited. Vincent Liu stated that this dinner symbolizes the important entry of digital assets into mainstream finance, and being invited represents Taiwan’s influence in the international cryptocurrency sphere, looking forward to establishing more connections with various sectors.
