$TRUMP Coin Soars 58% for Exclusive Trump Dinner
When President Donald Trump announced an exclusive dinner for the top 220 $TRUMP memecoin holders, the coin's value skyrocketed by 58% overnight. Set for 22 May 2025 at Trump National Golf Club near Washington, D.C., this gala has been dubbed 'the most exclusive invitation in the world.'
With investors are scrambling to secure a seat, the $TRUMP coin is at the centre of a crypto frenzy. Here's how this unprecedented event is reshaping the memecoin market and what it takes to join Trump at the table. Grab $TRUMP Coins To Climb The Leaderboard
To attend the dinner, you must rank among the top 220 $TRUMP holders based on your average coin balance from 23 April to 12 May 2025. Launched on the Solana blockchain in January 2025, $TRUMP is traded on platforms like Raydium .
Following the announcement, the coin surged from £7.84 ($10.40) to £12.38 ($16.43) on 23 April 2025, boosting its market cap to £2.08 billion ($2.75 billion). X posts estimate holding £160,000–£6.4 million ($212,000–$8.4 million) in $TRUMP to qualify, though costs for travel and accommodation fall on attendees.
Strict rules apply: no plus-ones and mandatory background checks exclude those from KYC watchlist countries. Score VIP Access With High Stakes
The top 25 holders will unlock a pre-dinner reception with Trump and a VIP tour the next day, organised by Fight Fight Fight LLC—initially marketed as a White House tour but later clarified. All attendees receive a commemorative $TRUMP NFT, minted on Solana, adding a collectible perk.
However, the CBS News report notes Trump's attendance isn't guaranteed, with an NFT offered as compensation if he cancels. The leaderboard, updated daily on the $TRUMP website, rewards both coin volume and holding duration, sparking fierce competition.
Critics, including watchdog groups, question the ethics of tying political access to crypto wealth. Understand The Crypto Power Play
The $TRUMP coin, launched days before Trump's January 2025 inauguration, has fuelled both hype and controversy. Despite an 85% drop from its peak, the dinner news revived its value, though 80% of tokens are held by insiders like CIC Digital LLC.
A Reuters article details the Trump family's crypto ventures, including World Liberty Financial, which earned £240 million ($318 million) in fees, raising concerns about conflicts of interest as Trump influences crypto policy.

Musk Slams Republicans Who Voted for Trump's 'Pork-Filled' Budget Bill: 'You Know You Did Wrong'
Tesla CEO and former government employee Elon Musk took to his platform X to slam Republicans who voted for what he called the "pork-filled" budget bill supported by President Donald Trump. Trump's "one big, beautiful bill" passed the House by a narrow vote in late May, sending it to the Senate and expected to be voted on in July. Despite the Trump administration's promise earlier this year to cut back on government spending, the bill includes plans to raise the debt ceiling by about $4 trillion. This part of the bill Musk has taken particular interest in, causing him to post a series of tweets scorning the lawmakers who passed the bill. "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk wrote in a tweet Tuesday afternoon. "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it." The tweet quickly amassed millions of views and thousands of comments as supporters of the world's richest man, who became a very vocal supporter of Trump during his 2024 campaign, tuned in to hear what the former Trump adviser had to say. "It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt," Musk continued in another tweet. At the start of Trump's second-term, he named Musk a temporary government employee to help lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a task force dedicated to reducing federal spending and waste. However, he believes that by increasing the debt ceiling and allowing Congress to spend more money, the bill goes against the work of his team. "I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing," he previously told "CBS Sunday Morning." "I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don't know if it can be both." Musk remarked, "Congress is making America bankrupt," in one final tweet as a part of the rant. The billionaire also pushed Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie's tweet, which said Musk was "right" about the bill. Massie was one of just two Republicans to vote "no" on the spending bill. The spending bill has continued to dominate conversations in political spaces across the country, not only about the debt ceiling but also as the bill would add restrictions to Medicaid. Protestors and constituents across the country have been seen hounding their lawmakers on the subject, urging them to protect their healthcare. Originally published on Latin Times

Elon Musk Slams Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' After Leaving The Administration: 'A Disgusting Abomination'
Billionaire Elon Musk again slammed President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" spending and tax bill on Tuesday, claiming it will "burden" the country with "crushingly unsustainable debt." "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it," Musk said in a publication in his social media platform, X. Musk, who recently departed from his role at the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency(DOGE), has repeatedly criticized the bill, arguing it would "balloon the deficit." He also criticized its lack of focus on clean energy and sustainable tech. "I actually thought that, when this 'big, beautiful bill' came along, it'd be like, everything he's done on DOGE gets wiped out in the first year," Musk said in a recent interview on CBS News. "I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful ... But I don't know if it could be both. My personal opinion." The billionaire has received pushback from Republican lawmakers for his stance, with Rep. Darin LaHood saying he "doesn't understand how the tax bill works." Appearing on CNBC Monday morning, LaHood defended the legislation, which narrowly passed the House last week and now heads to the Senate. "I would disagree with Elon in the sense that he doesn't understand how the tax bill works," he said, citing positive economic data from the 2017 tax cuts and describing the current proposal as "rocket fuel for the economy." The legislation includes trillions in tax cuts alongside major boosts to defense and national security spending, offset by cuts to social and energy programs. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates it could add $3.8 trillion to the deficit. LaHood, however, remained bullish on the bill, highlighting provisions like bonus depreciation and the R&D tax credit as critical to spurring economic growth—regardless of Musk's misgivings. Trump has also been criticizing detractors of the bill, personally slamming Sen. Rand Paul on Tuesday. In a series of posts in his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump said Paul "has very little understanding of the BBB, especially the tremendous GROWTH that is coming." "He loves voting "NO" on everything, he thinks it's good politics, but it's not. The BBB is a big WINNER!!!" Trump said. "Rand votes NO on everything, but never has any practical or constructive ideas. His ideas are actually crazy (losers!). The people of Kentucky can't stand him. This is a BIG GROWTH BILL!" Trump added. Paul is not the only GOP senator opposing the bill. Ron Johnson has said there are enough colleagues to block the bill "unless the president gets serious about spending reduction and reducing the deficit." Sen. Susan Collins voted for the initial budget blueprint but later questioned concerns over how her constituents could see their Medicaid coverage impacted. Thom Tillis and Joni Ernest could also face criticism if they support the bill. Originally published on Latin Times Elon musk Donald trump Congress

Trump Jr Insists 'You Don't Know' Who Really Buys Memecoin Despite His Dad Hosting Dinner With Top Holders Weeks Ago
Donald Trump Jr. insisted "you don't know" who's behind memecoin, downplaying influence concerns, even as his father, President Donald Trump, hosted a private dinner with top holders. The controversy centers on a cryptocurrency launched earlier this year, which ethics experts say opens the door for anonymous donors to funnel money without oversight. While the president publicly aligned himself with the project, Trump Jr. attempted to distance himself from it during a CNBC interview Tuesday, insisting he wasn't involved and instead focused on ventures like stablecoins and Bitcoin mining. "One of the things people question ... say the memecoin your father has, creates the opportunity for foreign adversaries, people in the U.S. or anybody to effectively funnel money to the president," CNBC journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin prompted. "I think the memecoin, you don't know who's actually doing any of these things," Trump Jr. defended. "It's different because it's hard to influence if you don't know where the stuff is coming from." Trump Jr. defended his family's broader involvement in crypto by describing their pivot to decentralized finance as a response to being "de-banked" after his father's presidency. He said that crypto offered freedom from what he called an unfair traditional financial system and dismissed concerns about the memecoin as media-driven hysteria. However, he avoided directly addressing why Trump met with top holders in late May or what influence they might have. Those who attended the meeting later reportedly revealed plans to attempt to sway U.S. financial policy. With the campaign season heating up and crypto policy becoming a bigger issue in Washington, the Trump family's ties to the memecoin are likely to face continued scrutiny.
