Trump Hosts Another Exclusive $TRUMP Coin Gala Amid Conflict of Interest Concerns

President Donald Trump will host another exclusive dinner with top investors in his $TRUMP meme coin on November 22, marking the third such gathering since his return to office. Critics have slammed these events as brazen pay-for-play schemes, with some accusing Trump of attempting to profit from his position. According to the $TRUMP coin website, the top 29 investors will be invited to a VIP reception with the President, while 185 of the coin's top investors will attend the dinner at the Trump National Golf Club in Northern Virginia.

Financial disclosures show that Trump generated $635 million from the 'Celebration Coins' in 2025, a sizable portion of his overall crypto portfolio of $1.4 billion. The $TRUMP coin's value initially soared to over $44 but plummeted almost immediately, currently hovering around $2. Critics argue that these events are a clear example of the President using his position for personal gain.

Trump launched his meme coin in January 2025, just days before his inauguration, and has repeatedly denied that his private business interests create a conflict of interest.
