Trump Hosts White House Dinner for Top $TRUMP Meme Coin Holders

President Trump hosted a private dinner at the White House for the top 220 holders of the $TRUMP meme cryptocurrency, announced via the official $TRUMP token website and Trump social media accounts. Blockchain analytics showed attendees had collectively purchased approximately $148 million in $TRUMP tokens to reach the top-holder threshold required for the invitation. The event marked the first known instance of access to the White House being directly tied to purchases of a financial instrument personally promoted by and financially benefiting the sitting president.
