$TRUMP Meme Coin Soars 50% After Exclusive Trump Dinner Contest Announcement
Holders of the $TRUMP meme coin rushed to secure a spot at a black-tie dinner with former President Donald Trump after an announcement promised the top 220 token holders access to the event at his private club NEAR Washington, D.C. The top 25 holders will receive a special reception, while the website also advertises a "VIP White House Tour" the following day.
The coin’s price surged over 50% following the news, pushing its market capitalization to $2.7 billion. Critics, including Senator Chris Murphy, condemned the move as "the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done."
