The statement came in response to rumors about a high ticket price and counter-allegations of corruption leveled at Trump by his political opponents.

The TRUMP Officials team clarified that access to the dinner is based on the average number of TRUMP tokens held by owners between April 23 and May 12. The top 220 TRUMP holders will be invited to the event, with the top 25 receiving VIP perks, including a private reception and special tour.

"Our leaderboard updates hourly in real time. Your TRUMP holdings put you in the race. The market is fiercely competitive. Own TRUMP — or watch from the sidelines," the token’s promotional website states.

The prospect of dining with the sitting U.S. president sparked a TRUMP token rally, with the price surging 69% over the past week and still climbing — up another 9% in the last 24 hours to nearly $13.

The dinner’s supposed theme — Trump's vision for the future of cryptocurrency — has not silenced critics.

Manipulation of public sentiment and ethical questions

Senator Chris Murphy (Democrat, Connecticut) described the promotional dinner as "the most openly corrupt act of a sitting president in modern history."

Meanwhile, Accountable.US, a nonpartisan ethics watchdog group, called it a blatant "pay-to-play" scheme, inviting investors to buy access to Trump.Tony Carrk, the group's executive director, stated:

"Mr. Trump is openly inviting investors to engage in a bidding war for access to him — laughing all the way to the bank."

Additionally, public transparency reports show that Trump-affiliated organizations control nearly 80% of the total $TRUMP token supply, raising serious concerns about centralization and potential market manipulation — issues that much of the crypto community seeks to avoid.

As we wrote, the Official Trump token is displaying early signs of a potential bullish reversal following weeks of consolidation within a descending triangle. After a sharp decline in early March, the token has held above the $9.80 demand zone, with multiple failed attempts to break through the $11.00–$12.00 supply band signaling persistent overhead resistance.
