$1.78M Trump Crypto Dinner Leaves Guests Disappointed
Over 200 crypto investors paid a combined $1.78 million to dine with Donald Trump at his National Golf Club near D.C. on May 22, using the Trump-themed cryptocurrency, $TRUMP. Attendees, some spending as much as $300,000, anticipated a luxurious experience. While the setting impressed—crystal chandeliers and a refined menu featuring halibut and garlic mashed potatoes—the food fell flat. One guest told Wired, “It was the worst food I’ve ever had at a Trump golf course,” noting the only highlight was bread and butter. Drink options were limited to water and Trump-branded wine, with poor service. Despite the hype, many left underwhelmed, questioning the true value of their hefty crypto investment.
