Donald Trump Accused of Fleecing Fans at Meme Coin Gala: “I Felt Scammed” Says Disillusioned Crypto Entrepreneur
- Donald Trump’s brief 30-minute appearance at a meme coin gala has sparked outrage among attendees who felt ripped off
- The former US President delivered a speech and left without eating or engaging with guests, despite promises of a dinner experience
- A 25-year-old crypto entrepreneur, Nick Pinto, described the event as a “money grab” and said he felt scammed out of his attendance fee
Donald Trump has been accused of profiting from a meme coin gala, where attendees paid to dine with the former US President. However, the event quickly turned sour when Trump failed to deliver on his promises, leaving guests feeling ripped off and disenchanted.
Nick Pinto, a 25-year-old crypto entrepreneur, was among those who attended the gala, expecting to enjoy a dinner experience with Trump. Instead, the former President arrived, delivered a brief speech, and promptly left without eating or engaging with the guests.
“I would say the entire dinner was about making money,” Pinto said in an interview. “They did advertise it as having dinner with Trump, and Trump did not eat anything at all. If there was a big table… and he’d sat down at least and drank a Diet Coke with us or something like that. I do feel like I maybe kind of got scammed.”
Pinto’s experience is not an isolated incident. Many Americans have become desensitized to Trump’s business dealings, seeing them as a normal part of his persona. However, the meme coin gala incident has sparked renewed scrutiny of the former President’s profit-making activities.
The incident has raised questions about the ethics of Trump’s business practices and whether he is taking advantage of his followers for personal gain. As one of the most prominent figures in American politics, Trump’s actions are under constant scrutiny, and this incident is unlikely to go unnoticed.
