Trump Courts Top TRUMP Holders with $18k Gold Watches
US President Donald Trump is set to host his third dinner for top holders of the TRUMP memecoin, with the event scheduled for November 22 at his Trump National golf club near Washington.
The gala will feature a leaderboard ranking the top 185 holders based on time-weighted holdings up to a snapshot taken on November 12. The top 29 holders will receive VIP treatment, including a private reception with Trump and front seating at the dinner.
For the top four holders, there's an added incentive - they'll each receive an 18-carat gold Trump watch. However, residents and citizens of Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Russia, Syria, and Yemen are barred from attending, regardless of their rank on the leaderboard.
This is the third such event hosted by Trump for TRUMP holders, following a dinner at the same club in May 2025 and a luncheon at Mar-a-Lago in April 2026. The events have raised questions about whether they sold access to the President.
