Trump's AI avatar markets exclusive dinner for top $TRUMP token holders

A digital rendering of Donald Trump is being used to promote a high-priced dinner for the 185 largest holders of his $TRUMP memecoin, sparking criticism over self-dealing.

A stylized AI illustration of Donald Trump, showing a slimmer head, broader shoulders, and a polished hairdo, now headlines the website for the $TRUMP memecoin. The site advertises an exclusive dinner for the 185 largest token holders, offering a chance to meet the 80-year-old and three unnamed "legends" in what is billed as the world’s most exclusive meal. The promotion has drawn sharp rebuke, with former Barack Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor calling it an unprecedented act of corruption.

The token’s market value surged to a $27 billion valuation shortly after launch, then collapsed by more than 90 percent, wiping out billions for nearly a million investors. The venture is run by Fight Fight Fight LLC, led by Trump associate Bill Zanker, which has not provided comment. The White House referred inquiries to the host organization and offered no further remarks.
