Trump meme coin VIP dinner steak photo exposed, TikTok influencer complains the meal is too plain and leaves hungry.
Trump held a VIP dinner for 220 top buyers of Trump coin ($Trump). The White House argued that this was Trump's private event, and those attending were Trump's entrepreneurial avatars, not President Trump of the United States. However, what truly shocked people was the main course of the evening, which, after photos leaked, was mocked from all sides as resembling IKEA meals. A TikTok influencer who attended the dinner even told the media that it was the worst meal he had ever had at a golf club, with the portion sizes being small, leaving him hungry.
The White House refers to the dinner as a private gathering for Trump.
Trump hosted a formal black-tie dinner on Thursday night at a Virginia golf club for the first 220 VIP buyers of the Trump Meme Coin. Trump arrived on Air Force One and delivered a speech at a podium emblazoned with the presidential seal. The White House described this as a private dinner, stating that Trump was simply participating in the event on personal time. Many protesters believe that Trump is using the hype around the meme coin to raise illegal donations for his own benefit, particularly noting that nearly half of the invited guests appeared to be "foreigners."
TikTok influencer invests 500,000 USD to buy meme coin, in exchange for IKEA meal.
The main course of the night's menu was filet mignon and halibut, and despite the gilded Trump inscription on the plate, the staples served to guests looked almost like those at the IKEA store, and TikTok influencer Nick Pinto told Wired magazine that it was the worst food he had ever eaten at the Virginia golf course. He invested $500,000 in the Trump family's meme coins to qualify for dinner with Trump, but he said the only good things were bread and butter, and finally left the dinner hungry. The reporter uploaded a steak photo provided by a participant, and netizens began to comment and laugh. CNBC reporter Steve Kovach says he ate similar food on low-cost airlines. With very few portions of food on the plate, the presentation was unpleasant, and the thin carrots were laid out next to the pumpkin, plus a wad of mashed potatoes and a small piece of steak, and the flounder looked like dry flat chicken.
The Ringer senior writer Joel Anderson said that the dinner menu is the same as that provided at the Fyre Festival. The founder of the festival ended up in jail for organizing a music event that was unrealistic, leaving fans who spent a lot of money on tickets very disappointed.
Guests at Trump's gala were not there for the food; they hoped to have the opportunity to meet world-class leaders. However, after Trump arrived at the golf course, he only delivered a 25-minute speech, briefly touching on cryptocurrency.
According to an analysis by The Washington Post, since the launch of Trump Coin in January of this year, Trump Enterprises has already earned over $300 million. It is currently unclear how much the buyers of Trump Coin paid in total to participate in this dinner. According to reports, the top 25 holders on Trump Enterprises' meme coin leaderboard collectively hold Trump Coin worth $140 million.
Taiwan cryptocurrency exchange investment director invited to attend
According to Taiwan media reports, Vincent Liu, the Chief Investment Officer of the Taiwan cryptocurrency trading platform Kronos Research, was also invited to attend. Vincent Liu stated that this dinner is an important symbol of digital assets entering the mainstream financial circle. Being invited to attend represents Taiwan's influence in the international coin circle, and he also looks forward to establishing more connections with various sectors. (TVBS)
