Donald Trump is drawing heavy criticism for his upcoming dinner with investors in his crypto currency at one of his family owned properties.
More than 200 investors in his $TRUMP memecoin will arrive Thursday at his golf club in Virginia after $148 million worth of the collectible tokens to sit down for an exclusive dinner with the president himself, and the top 25 buyers will meet with him beforehand at a private reception, reported Politico.
Investors were given a short window to buy up $TRUMP memecoins, which have no underlying value, to score an invitation and generate trading fees for the Trump family and their partners in what critics describe as an obvious pay to play scheme.
This is the Mount Everest of American corruption, said Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR). This isnt about raising money for a campaign. This is about personal profit, and what hes selling is influence on himself and his Cabinet and the U.S. government.
Merkley will attend a protest outside the event organized by progressive watchdog group Public Citizen, and Rep. Maxine Waters will propose legislation banning presidents from offering memecoins in the future.
The White House insisted the president, who once criticized crypto as a scam, acts only in the publics best interest, but critics say the dinner and the Trump familys other dealings in the cryptocurrency sphere reek of corruption.
