A Helicopter, Halibut, and ‘Y.M.C.A’: Inside Donald Trump’s Memecoin Dinner


On Thursday evening, US president Donald Trump attended a private banquet with two hundred of the largest investors in his personal crypto coin. Here's what happened.

As US president Donald Trump left the stage at his golf club near Washington D.C. on Thursday night, he pointed to the crowd, brought his index finger to his temple—as if to say: you know what’s coming—then began to dance. As the dinner dwindled to a natural close, many of the guests took shuttle buses to an afterparty at a rooftop hotel bar in central Washington put on by one of the other large coin holders, which ran into the early hours of the morning. As they made their way through the security checkpoint at the front gate, they were greeted by a horde of protesters, brandishing signs reading “Stop Crypto Corruption” and “Don the Con” emblazoned with the orange bitcoin logo.
