According to ChainCatcher, Nicholas Pinto, a 25-year-old influencer, purchased $360,000 worth of TRUMP tokens to attend a dinner with Trump, but he was greatly disappointed by the food at the banquet: "It was garbage, Walmart-level steak." Pinto stated that the "Trump Organic Garden Salad" and "Double Entrée" (Filet Mignon + Pan-Seared Flounder) on the menu received collective criticism. "Everyone at our table said it was the worst meal we've ever had." However, the highlight of the evening was not the food, but Trump himself. When asked if it was worth the price, Pinto bluntly replied, "I was expecting to eat Trump's favorite Big Mac or pizza; that would have been better than tonight's meal."When Pinto arrived at the dinner venue, he was first greeted by a protest group from the nonprofit organization "Public Citizen." The organization's co-chair, Robert Weissman, had previously stated, "Trump's crypto business is one of the most corrupt innovations in American political history." The atmosphere inside the club was similarly subtle; although Trump did show up to speak, Pinto commented that the content was basically nonsense, and most guests had no chance to get close to the president. Even the dinner host, conservative media OANN anchor Caitlyn Sinclair, complained, "Trump wouldn't even take a photo."After the dinner ended around 10 PM, a hungry Pinto went for a late-night snack. Pinto summarized, "The only thing edible all night was the bread and butter before the meal."
