Trump’s Cryptocurrency Events in May
Specifically, the first event will take place on May 5, featuring a charity dinner titled Crypto & AI Innovators Dinner. It will cost $1.5 million per plate. The event will also be attended by White House advisor on cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence, David Sachs.
The next event is scheduled for May 22 — a gala evening for 220 top holders of the OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) token, which will be held at Trump National, Trump’s private club located in the Washington area.
Criticism and Risks
Journalists note that the analytical organization Accountable.US criticized these events, calling them “the most blatant scheme for personal enrichment in the history of the American presidency.” They warned that the selection mechanism allows wealthy individuals, including potentially foreign ones, to “buy access to Donald Trump” while simultaneously enriching his circle.
Journalists also pointed out that according to the terms of the website, Trump may not appear at these events, and they could be canceled for any reason. In such a case, participants will receive an NFT featuring Trump.
