US President Donald Trump to Host Private Event for Hundreds of Investors in His Crypto Memecoin

US President Donald Trump will on Thursday host a private event for hundreds of top investors in his crypto memecoin, with leaders of the Democratic opposition blasting it as "an orgy of corruption."

The unprecedented melding of US presidential power and personal business will take place at Trump's golf club outside Washington, where the 220 biggest purchasers of the $TRUMP memecoin will have dinner with the president.

"Honored to support @POTUS and grateful for the invitation to attend President Trump's Gala Dinner as his TOP fan!" Sun wrote Tuesday on X.

Justin Unga of advocacy group End Citizens United described the crypto dinner as a blatant example of Trump profiting from the presidency while roiling the US economy.

"Some say this is a back door to corruption," Unga said.

"I would argue it's the front door with valet parking, and it's got a red carpet... and a slap in the face of hard working Americans."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the allegations of impropriety Thursday, telling a briefing that Trump is attending the dinner in his "personal time" and ab
