Share prices of President Trump’s meme coin surged by over 50% on Wednesday, after the cryptocurrency’s website announced its top 220 investors would be invited to attend a private gala dinner hosted by Trump at the Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C. The promotion also offers an “ultra-exclusive VIP reception with the president” and a tour for the top 25 Trump meme coin investors. The anti-corruption group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington called the promotion “one of the most blatant and appalling instances of selling access to the presidency we’ve ever seen.”
