A black-tie dinner for the top buyers of Donald Trump's meme coin featured him speaking at a lectern emblazoned with the presidential seal, despite the White House arguing it was a "private" event on "personal time." But it was the entree that drew gasps.
FTA:
After Wired reporter Matthew Champion posted a picture -- shared with him by one of the attendees -- of a sad plate of food served at the event, it didn't take long for the mockery to go into full swing.
"I've had better food on Spirit Airlines," snarked CNBC correspondent Steve Kovach, who was not at the event, referencing the discount airline.
Indeed, the photo showed a minuscule portion of food on the large, white-with-gold-leaf Trump plate. A handful of orange sticks -- perhaps carrots -- sat alongside a lonely slice of squash, while it appeared an ice cream scoop was used to add a dollop of yellow mashed potatoes on the dish. The small piece of halibut looked more like dry chicken, and the filet was covered in brown gravy but still appeared extremely overcooked.
200 people spent millions on Trump's memecoin and were rewarded with this dinner www.wired.com/story/a-heli ...
