Trump's Hyped Meme-Coin Dinner Might Have Been a Bust
Briefly

At the Trump National Golf Club, 220 cryptocurrency VIPs gathered for a dinner with President Trump, following a sweepstakes linked to his $TRUMP meme coin. Attendees dined on a meal that included filet mignon and halibut, though the focus was more on networking than the food itself. Attendees noted that the meeting with Trump allowed for discussions about support for the cryptocurrency industry, with Trump expressing intentions to back the sector that has reportedly increased his wealth significantly. The dinner raised concerns from protesters about crypto lobbying but was primarily a fundraiser for Trump's supporters.
The food was not important, attendee Sangrok Oh explains.
Trump expressed a clear intention to support people in the crypto industry.
It's kind of a fundraiser, Oh said in a separate interview with the New York Times. And he'll always be good to his sponsors.
Then he started joking around - 'What a beautiful place, I wonder who owns it,' says Vincent Liu.
