Trump's Crypto Dinner Sparks Protest Over Corruption | JQJO

Around 100 protesters demonstrated outside Donald Trump's Virginia golf club before a secretive dinner for investors in his cryptocurrency, $TRUMP. Access to the dinner, costing over $1.5 million per person, was granted via a competition involving $TRUMP purchases. Critics, including Senator Jeff Merkley, condemned the event as corrupt, citing potential conflicts of interest and the involvement of anonymous foreign investors. The White House defended Trump, claiming the event was personal and not profiting from his presidency, a claim disputed by protesters and analysis suggesting significant personal enrichment.
