Trump's Luxury Crypto Dinner: \$1 Million a Plate and a Storm of Controversy

President Trump's \$1 Million-a-Plate Crypto Dinner Sparks Ethics Outrage On Thursday evening, President Trump hosted a private dinner for more than 200 investors in his meme coin at his golf club in Northern Virginia. The average cost per seat exceeded \$1 million, sparking immediate criticism from Democrats. Senator Chris Murphy stated, "Just because the corruption is playing out in public doesn't mean it isn't rampant, rapacious corruption." The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, defended the event, calling it "personal time" and not a White House function. However, the lack of transparency and the exorbitant cost have fueled concerns about potential ethical violations and conflicts of interest. The video shows protesters outside the golf club with signs reading "Grifter in Chief" and "USA is not for sale." This event highlights the ongoing debate surrounding campaign finance and the influence of money in politics.
