Foreign Interests Appear to Be Pouring Millions Into Trump's Meme Coin

The top buyers of Trump's crypto meme coin used exchanges that ban U.S. users, indicating they are likely foreign buyers, Bloomberg reports.

More than half of the top holders of President Donald Trump's memecoin - who are jockeying for dinner with the president - have used foreign exchanges that say they ban US users, suggesting that many of the purchasers are based outside the US.

Buyers of the Trump token, a cryptocurrency the president began marketing days before his inauguration, drove sales higher in the past two weeks after its issuers announced an unprecedented promotion: More than 200 of the memcoin's largest holders would be invited to attend a May 22 dinner with Trump at his Virginia golf club, while the top 25 would qualify for an exclusive reception beforehand and what the memecoin's website describes as a "VIP" tour.​

I'd be interested to hear how the anti-corruption TrumpFans spin this one. Remember how you were all so worked up about Hunter Biden allegedly trading on access to his father and paying off Joe in return? Here's Trump doing exactly that, out in the open.

From trying to steal elections, to weaponizing law enforcement against perceived enemies, to this. They literally do what they accuse others without basis of doing.

This will be the new reserve currency when they do away with fiat. So every day you spend money, you'll be reminded of Trump.

I think his tariffs are going to to that anyways.

There is a possibility his tariffs won't last forever, but his coin might. lol

Why would it? Once the influence it purchases is gone, what would be the point of it?

$TRUMP Crypto Investors Say They Attended Private Gala With ‘Explicit Intent’ To Influence President Trump: Report​

The guests, according to The [Failing] New York Times, many of them foreign investors, weren’t shy about their motivations to lobby on policy issues. Several of the guests told the newspaper that “they attended the event with the explicit intent of influencing Mr. Trump and U.S. financial regulations.”

The Trump campaign and the president’s business partners touted the dinner, which offered a White House tour and face time with Trump to the top 25 buyers, as the “most EXCLUSIVE INVITATION in the world.”

Outside, protesters chanted “shame” and held signs reading “Stop Crypto Corruption” and “USA Is Not For Sale,” while inside, tuxedoed attendees dined on filet mignon and halibut and posed for selfies with the president. The fee for access was based on a leaderboard structured on how many $TRUMP tokens an investor held over three weeks.

Among the guests was Chinese crypto mogul Justin Sun, who spent more than $40 million on the tokens to claim the top spot. Korean executive Sangrok Oh flew from Seoul, red hats reading “Make Crypto Great Again” in tow. Many, like Taiwanese investor Vincent Liu, said they were seeking Trump’s blessing to re-enter the U.S. crypto market after Biden-era crackdowns.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt denied the Times report: “It’s absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off of the presidency. This president was incredibly successful before giving it all up to serve our country publicly.”

Did she say that with a straight face?

On the minus side, Trump won't provide the guest list; one the plus side, he's not immune from actions in his personal time.

January 20th 2029, they'll all vanish to Moscow or South Africa, and we'll discover Fort Knox is empty apart from a half used roll of "Biden Did That" stickers.

One interesting point: since this little grubfest is on his personal time, it is not subject to presidential immunity, if anything criminal took place.

The purpose of the dinner isn’t for the ones on top. It’s to draw new investors into the fold. Once you reach a certain position investment wise you have more insight than the little guy. That’s why they’re never caught holding the bag and jump ship before the majority. Trump is very adept at marketing and most of things he does leverages his persona or the perspective the public has. It’s all smoke and mirrors much like a stage name. He turns it on and off at whim.

Speaking of crimes for which presidential immunity would not apply...

Trump Used Presidential Seal At Meme Coin Dinner—A Potential Violation Of Federal Law​

President Donald Trump spoke to investors of his $TRUMP meme coin from a lectern adorned with the presidential seal at Trump National Golf Club Thursday—despite a federal law prohibiting it from being used in a way that erroneously suggest federal sponsorship.

The seal can’t be used in a way that could “convey a false impression of sponsorship of approval by the government,” according to federal law, which says violations can be penalized by a fine or up to six months in jail.

TANGENT
The seal has been used as golf markers in at least five other Trump golf clubs, Forbes reported previously.

Well, Trump's hand picked Supreme Court says he can do whatever he wants as President.
