Trump Ties Presidential Appearances to Memecoin Rankings Again

US President Donald Trump will host another exclusive dinner for top holders of his memecoin at his Washington, DC golf club on November 22. The event is open to only the 'top 185' TRUMP tokenholders, as determined by a scoring process from September 30 to November 12.

This is the third private gathering for TRUMP tokenholders, following similar events in May 2025 and April 2026. Critics have accused Trump of using these dinners as a form of 'pay-to-play' access, where tokenholders can gain influence over policy or enforcement by buying the memecoin.

Public Citizen has estimated that investors connected to Trump's crypto ventures are '$4.7 billion underwater' since 2022, with $3.2 billion in losses attributed to the TRUMP memecoin.
