Donald Trump hosted a private gala event for the top 220 holders of his ‘TRUMP’ meme coin. Promised to be a spectacle of exclusive connection and star-studded mingling, the gathering instead left attendees with mixed emotions – from disappointed expectations to fleeting networking opportunities. While some sought extravagant interactions with the former president, the event quickly fell into a reality where celebrity connections seemed overshadowed by bland food, limited interaction, and security issues. Attendees expressed dissatisfaction, citing poor service, Trump’s brevity in his speech, and a lack of substantial engagement. The event was also marked by the volatile performance of TRUMP token, with many attendees cashing out after being offered access to the invitation. The gala served as more of a political experiment than a triumphant testament to its intended purpose – leaving behind a trail of fleeting glamour and questionable ROI for all involved.
