Trump’s $TRUMP Memecoin VIP Dinner Draws GOP Backlash, Including From Crypto Advocate Lummis
Former President Donald Trump is facing renewed scrutiny after announcing an exclusive dinner for top holders of the $TRUMP memecoin at his National Golf Club. The event, scheduled between April 23 and May 12, offers VIP perks to the largest token holders—a move that has drawn criticism even from crypto-friendly Republicans.
Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), a noted blockchain advocate and Trump supporter, publicly questioned the ethics of blending political access with speculative digital assets. The controversy intensified when organizers initially advertised a "White House Tour" as part of the package, though references to the presidential residence were later removed.
