President Donald Trump is drawing flak for making forays into the crypto industry and taking part in a Thursday dinner for his meme coin while at the same time leading an administration that’s making efforts to deliver deregulation and otherwise boost the industry.

President Donald Trump is hosting a dinner Thursday for top investors in his meme coin, throwing the event at the Trump National Golf Club outside Washington, D.C., for a mostly anonymous group of attendees who have collectively thrown hundreds of millions of dollars at the president’s controversial cryptocurrency.

More than 200 wealthy crypto bros gathered for a private event at President Donald Trump’s golf club just outside Washington, DC, on Thursday night — dining on filet mignon and halibut while the president stood at a podium regaling them with tales of his 2024 victory.
