Trump hosts $148M US crypto dinner slammed by Democrats as ‘orgy of corruption’
Buyers of U.S. President Donald Trump’s meme coin converged from around the globe on Thursday for an exclusive dinner at his private country club that was closed to media.
As guests filed into the event, and President Trump arrived by Marine One helicopter, more than a hundred protesters demonstrated outside the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va. Signs included, “America is not for sale,” and “stop crypto corruption,” and “release the guest list.”
Trump spent about an hour at the club. In a video posted on social media by a meme coin contest dinner guest, he told the assembled, “I always put the country way ahead of the business.…You become president of the United States, and you want to see people thrive and succeed.”
