Protesters gathered outside President Trump’s Virginia golf club Thursday evening as he hosted a private dinner for 220 top spenders on his $TRUMP memecoin. Altogether, the dinner attendees spent close to $400 million combined to gain access to Trump — many of them foreign nationals. Among attendees were Justin Sun, a Chinese-born crypto billionaire, and Korean crypto executive Sangrok Oh. Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren called the gathering “an orgy of corruption.” Oregon Democrat Jeff Merkley joined protesters outside Trump’s golf club. 

Sen. Jeff Merkley: “This is like the Mount Everest of corruption. Now, our founders were very worried about people buying influence with our country, because they knew you can’t have We the People government, if its government’s being sold to others.”
