The exclusive dinner of the President, Donald Trump, took place on Thursday, May 22, which was for the 220 biggest buyers of the meme coin of his $TRUMP. In that event, he jokingly talked about his assassination attempt, and pretended to be shot in the ear.
The POTUS asked his attendees of the event before a loud thump popped up in the silence, “Did you know that just before the election, they went all crypto? You know that, right?.”

Donald Trump grabbed his ear during the event, which Thomas Matthew Crooks shot in July 2024 at a Pennsylvania rally, and said, “Whoops… My ear!” This clip went viral on the X platform, and consequently, the President was ripped apart for putting up a joke on this assassination.
People were disgusted to hear a joke on a murder attempt, which claimed the life of an attendee and almost Trump’s.
A user said, “This has to be the most disgusting display anyone has done this year. Donald Trump pretending to be hit in the ear. This may be why some people have even suggested that the assassination attempt in Butler was faked, too.” “Well, when you practice so hard for a performance, you don’t wanna do it just one time,” another suggested.
“How sad to be that willing to be conned by a convicted felon,” said a third critic of the attendees who laughed as Trump made his joke.
Another person further said, “His easiness and cavalier attitude towards an alleged assassination attempt tells you everything you need to know about what really happened. It was all bull—-”.

The private crypto event of Donald Trump, took place at the exclusive golf club in Virginia and the attendees of the event also gained access of it by taking part in an auction. The same took place for determining that who had the largest holdings of Trump’s meme coin between April 23 and May 12.
Reports state that the investors have spent a significant amount of $148 million on the $TRUMP coin with the significant intention of securing the invitation for the event. Sources also state that the top 25 spenders have an estimated investment of over $111 million of investments.
Sources from the official website of the coin stated that the top 25 holders were also promised that they would be gifted with a “private VIP reception” where the President himself would be with them, and on top of that, there would also be a “special VIP tour.”
Though the theme of the event was something else, it was eventually promoted by using the controversial talk of his assassination, and it seems like, indeed, it turned out to be successful.
“On July 13, 2024, President Trump faced death and came up fighting! With his fist in the air and the iconic battle cry FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT, President Trump showed the world what a LEADER is made of,” the statement on the coin’s webpage said. “His strength and courage ignited a movement, becoming the most memorable meme of the century.”
