Right, you should follow your own advice

Just because of the unbroken poularity of Trump-related posts:
It was marketed as the most exclusive event in crypto, a Donald Trump-hosted dinner for the top 220 holders of his TRUMP memecoin, held at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia. But according to several attendees, the glitzy gala left much to be desired — from the food to the access.
Nicholas Pinto, a 25-year-old influencer and Trump supporter, told Fortune the experience was underwhelming.
“Trash,” Pinto texted Fortune during the banquet. “Walmart steak, man. Everyone at my table was saying the food was some of the worst food that they ever had,” said Pinto after the meal.
But Pinto wasn’t the only one with complaints.
TheStreet Roundtable spoke with two other attendees who painted a similar picture. One, a crypto trader who asked to remain anonymous, said, “It felt like the event was staged for a photo op. Most of us didn’t even get a handshake. The real celebrities were probably given private time.”
He continued, “The food? Total conference buffet level. You don’t drop six figures on a token to be fed dry halibut and steak that tastes like rubber.”
John Harper, another attendee and long-time Bitcoin investor, said he expected more from the Trump brand. “I’ve been to weddings at Holiday Inns with better food. They made this sound like a dinner with the President — we were just background props.”
Harper joked that the halibut “tasted like it came from a Costco freezer aisle.”
Public Citizen protesters gathered outside, chanting “shame.” Reports say that while some of the top-tier guests received crypto-branded watches and a brief moment with Trump, the majority were left checking TRUMP’s declining price during the meal.
While the White House insisted this wasn’t an official event, Trump stood at a lectern with the presidential seal. Afterward, he told reporters: “It was good, very good.”
But for many guests, the only thing truly unforgettable may have been the disappointment — and, apparently, the bread.
Official Trump (TRUMP) coin is down 3.6% in the past 24 hours, trading at $12.57. The token has slipped nearly 8% over the past month.
Of course there are also other concerns about Donnie's crypto plans (like possible effects on corruption), but serving bad food to Trump's rich supporters is really an outrage

Remember when a president not liking broccoli, or a vice president incorrectly spelling potato were the biggest scandals of the year? And when that kind of spelling error was the bar for a stupid politician?There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

To be fair, Trump hasn't vomited on any world leaders, or been left hanging on a zip line while trying to semaphore with Union Jacks.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment
