CNBC spoke to 25-year old Nicholas Pinto, who was one of the 220 guests invited to Donald Trump’s crypto dinner.
Said Pinto: “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.”
“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.”
Donald Trump hosted a black-tie dinner at his golf club in Virginia for the top investors in his $TRUMP meme coin, an event that drew over 220 attendees who collectively spent around $148 million on the cryptocurrency for the privilege of attending. The dinner was promoted as “the most exclusive invitation in the world,” with the top 25 investors promised a private reception and guided tour, while others simply attended the main gala.
