Guests were greeted by “Fight Fight Fight” signs on their tables—a slogan used to promote the TRUMP token. Each table was set with a three-course dinner, beginning with a green salad, followed by options of filet mignon or halibut with mashed potatoes and vegetables, and ending with a lava cake for dessert.
Gift bags were placed at each seat, including a black cap. In a video posted on X, Sun was seen receiving a Trump-branded gold watch onstage, a product listed at $100,000 by a company connected to President Donald Trump.
While the dinner went on, around 100 protesters stood outside the venue and held signs criticizing President Trump’s involvement in crypto. Messages like “Stop Crypto Corruption” and “Release the guest list” reflected concerns about political ethics and financial transparency.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President Trump, dismissed rumors about the Truth Social meme coin. What did he say? Read the full story.
