A dinner held at Trump National Golf Club on May 22 for top holders of the Official Trump (TRUMP) token did not meet the expectations of at least one guest.
Nicholas Pinto, a TikTok user who spent around $300,000 on the meme coin to secure his invitation, said the food was among the worst he has had. Speaking with WIRED on May 23, he described the meal as disappointing and left the event still feeling hungry.
While some guests told the outlet that the food was "OK", Pinto was far less positive. During the event, he told Fortune that the steak tasted like "Walmart steak" and added that only the bread and butter stood out in a good way.

Pinto also said he would have preferred pizza or Big Macs, which references President Donald Trump’s liking for McDonald’s. According to him, others at his table shared similar thoughts about the food.
Furthermore, Pinto also told Fortune that President Trump's speech was nonsense. Video clips posted on X showed the president reading from a script, where he mentioned that the people in the room were some of the brightest and suggested that crypto "may be something special".
President Trump left after delivering the short speech, which some guests, including Pinto, noted as disappointing. There had been an expectation that the president might stick around to hand out commemorative watches to major token holders.
