At Trump's $148 million meme coin dinner, 'the food sucked' and security was lax, attendee says
Crypto investor Nicholas Pinto attends President Donald Trump's gala dinner for people who spent the most money on Trump's meme coin, $TRUMP, in a contest, at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia, May 22, 2025. Nicholas Pinto The price of President Donald Trump's meme coin plunged 16% as of Friday morning, just hours after he hosted a black-tie gala at his Virginia golf club for its biggest buyers — an elite crowd that spent a combined $148 million on the token for the chance to be there. It was billed as 'the most exclusive invitation in the world.' Among the 220 attendees were crypto influencers, industry executives such as Sandy Carter of Unstoppable Domains, and former NBA star Lamar Odom, who used the occasion to praise Trump as 'the greatest president' and promote his own token, $ODOM. The top 25 wallets were promised a private reception and guided tour. Others, such as 25-year-old Nicholas Pinto — whose dad drove him to the event in his Lamborghini — left underwhelmed and still hungry. 'The food sucked,' Pinto said. 'Wasn't given any drinks other than water or Trump's wine. I don't drink, so I had water. My glass was only filled once.' Trump made only a brief appearance, Pinto said. 'He didn't talk to any of the 220 guests — maybe the top 25,' he said. All in, the president was there for 23 minutes, Pinto said. Trump delivered a brief address rehashing old crypto talking points then left on a helicopter before taking any questions or pictures with his meme coin contest winners, he said. Phones weren't locked in RFID pouches, and security was lax, according to Pinto. 'Once Trump left, they didn't really worry about anything else,' Pinto added. The crowd's opulence was on full display. 'Richard Mille watches weren't even rare,' Pinto said. 'I saw at least 16 people wearing them. I never see that unless I'm at a high-end restaurant in Miami or Dubai.' But the vibe was more muted than expected, he said: 'Lots of people didn't even hold the coin anymore. They were checking their phones during dinner to see if the price moved.' CNBC has reached out to Trump representatives for comment on the dinner and attendees. Protests For lawmakers and regulators, the dinner set off alarm bells. The #1 token holder was Chinese-born crypto mogul Justin Sun, who is currently facing Securities and Exchange Commission fraud charges that were recently paused, with the agency citing 'the public interest.' Sun holds over $22 million in the $TRUMP token and another $75 million in World Liberty Financial's native token. 'As the top holder of $TRUMP and proud supporter of President Trump, it was an honor to attend the Trump Gala Dinner,' Sun posted on Friday. 'Thank you @POTUS for your unwavering support of our industry!' Outside the gates of Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia, about a hundred protesters gathered, according to NBC News. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., joined them, backing a new End Crypto Corruption Act with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. Signs read 'Crypto Corruption' and 'Trump is a traitor.' Crypto on Capitol Hill 'The Trump family activity in the memecoin space makes my work in Congress more complicated,' Rep. French Hill, R-Ark., told CNBC on Friday. Hill, who's leading negotiations on a bipartisan stablecoin regulation bill known as the GENIUS Act, called the gala 'a distraction from the good work we need to do.' Now, the GENIUS Act is at risk. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., recently added a controversial rider to the bill that would cap credit card late fees — what's seen as a poison pill that could alienate banking allies and stall final approval. President Donald Trump speaks at a dinner for meme coin contest winners at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia, May 22, 2025. Nicholas Pinto On Thursday night as the meme coin contest dinner was underway, a bloc of Senate Democrats announced they'd be pushing for a new provision that would ban presidents and senior officials from profiting off crypto ventures while in office — a direct challenge to the Trump-linked stablecoin USD1 that launched in the spring. In Washington, there's growing concern that political infighting over Trump's crypto ventures could derail the stablecoin bill altogether. That poses an even bigger risk. According to The Wall Street Journal, major banks including JPMorgan , Bank of America and Citi are in early talks to issue a unified digital dollar to compete with Tether, the foreign-controlled stablecoin that now commands over 60% of global market share. Those plans hinge on legal clarity. If the GENIUS Act stalls, the U.S. could lose its window to regain ground in the global race for digital payments. The White House has tried to draw a line between Trump the president and Trump the private businessman. 'The president is attending it in his personal time. It is not a White House dinner,' press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters when pressed on attendee transparency. The administration declined to release a guest list. But blockchain data — and a patchwork of guest photos — tell part of the story. A Bloomberg News analysis found that all but six of the top 25 wallets used foreign exchanges, ostensibly off-limits to U.S. users. More than half of the top 220 wallets were linked to similar offshore platforms. One Nasdaq-listed penny stock, Freight Technologies , disclosed in an SEC filing that it spent $2 million on Trump's token to push U.S.-Mexico trade policy. It didn't make the cut for the dinner — finishing 250th. Since its January debut, the $TRUMP coin has generated more than $324 million in trading fees. Roughly 80% of the $TRUMP token supply is controlled by the Trump Organization and affiliates, according to the project's website. WLFI, the Trump's parallel token, has sold $550 million in two token sales. Still, White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks remained bullish on 'significant bipartisan support' for stablecoin legislation. 'We already have over $200 billion in stablecoins — it's just unregulated,' Sacks told CNBC's 'Closing Bell Overtime' on Wednesday. 'If we provide the legal clarity and legal framework for this, I think we could create trillions of dollars of demand for our Treasurys practically overnight, very quickly.' 'We have every expectation now that it's going to pass,' added Sacks, though he didn't answer a question about concerns from Democrats that there aren't sufficient safeguards in place to keep the president and his family from profiting from legislation. While Sacks sold $200 million in crypto-related holdings before taking his White House job, according to a disclosure filing, Trump and his family have been leaning into building a crypto empire. The Trumps are financial backers of World Liberty Financial, which is behind the USD1 stablecoin that is backed by Treasurys and dollar deposits. Abu Dhabi's MGX investment fund recently pledged $2 billion in USD1 to Binance, the world's largest digital assets exchange. It's the company's largest-ever investment made in crypto.

Social media influencer complains about food and more at Trump's event While the top 25 wallets were promised a private reception and a guided tour, some attendees, such as 25-year-old Nicholas Pinto, reportedly left the event feeling disappointed and still hungry, particularly concerning the meal provided. In a statement to CNBC, Pinto said: 'The food sucked. Wasn't given any drinks other than water or Trump's wine. I don't drink, so I had water. My glass was only filled once.' 'He didn't talk to any of the 220 guests — maybe the top 25,' he said while complaining about Trump's brief 23-minute appearance.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Moreover, the social media influencer reportedly sent a text to Fortune during the banquet saying that the food was 'Trash.' Pinto, who reportedly accumulated over $360,000 in Trump's cryptocurrency, desribed it as an 'unforgettable Gala DINNER' and said that the meal as 'Walmart steak, man.' The menu for the evening included a 'Trump organic field green salad' and an 'entrée duet' of filet mignon and pan-seared halibut, Pinto said to Fortune. After the meal, Pinto reportedly sent another text to Fortune saying: 'Everyone at my table was saying the food was some of the worst food that they ever had.'
