Trump Hosts Third Exclusive Memecoin Dinner Amid Ethics Concerns
US President Donald Trump will host another private dinner for his memecoin's largest holders on November 22 at his Washington, DC golf club. This is the third exclusive event for top TRUMP (TRUMP) tokenholders, following a May 2025 dinner and an April 2026 luncheon.
The event is limited to the top 185 Official Trump holders, determined by their holdings from September 30 to November 12. Critics argue that these gatherings create 'pay-to-play' access concerns, where investors can gain proximity to the president in exchange for supporting his memecoin.
Public Citizen estimated that investors connected to Trump's crypto ventures are $4.7 billion underwater since 2022, with $3.2 billion attributed to the TRUMP memecoin. Supporters and organizers have not provided a detailed public justification for these events.
