Trump to Host dinner for Top TRUMP Token Holders
Former President Donald Trump is set to host a private dinner on May 22 for the top 220 holders of the TRUMP token. The event will take place at the Trump National Golf Club near Washington. The top 25 holders will enjoy extra perks, like a pre-dinner meet-and-greet and a White House tour. However, Democrats claim this could be an impeachable offense, as it appears to reward supporters with access.
Organizers note the event could be rescheduled. If Trump can’t attend or the dinner is canceled, attendees might get a TRUMP NFT as compensation. This move has sparked controversy. Critics argue it’s inappropriate for Trump to reward token buyers with personal access.
