'Worse than airline food': Crypto investors who paid $1.7m for Trump event furious at meal served

Guests who paid £1.3million for the 'most exclusive invitation in the world' have piled in on the meal served at President Trump's event for crypto investors.

Dubbed 'worse than airline food', the black-tie evening was thrown in honor of the 220 buyers behind the US President's official cryptocurrency.

The backers of the 'meme coin' are said to have netted Mr. Trump and his family £109million ($148million).

On the menu was 'pan-seared halibut with a citrus reduction, a filet mignon with demi glaze' but Nicholas Pinto said the food 'sucked'.

If you're stupid enough to give Trump that much money you have bigger problems than the food.

That meal does not look at all appealing, but it comes from a guy who likes well done steaks covered in ketchup. Maybe trump has already deported his good cooks.

But apparently most of them didn't even get that, so I can see why they complained about the shitty food.

Democrats and ethic experts criticised the event, calling it a way for Trump to enrich himself.

But the president pushed back against the charge in remarks to guests, arguing that Hunter Biden and the Biden family made a fortune off the Oval Office.

'Ultimately, no matter what it is, I always put the country way ahead of the business,' he said, adding 'You can't say that about Hunter.'


A. Not true.
B. Hunter Biden was not president.

However, I have played in many charity golf events held at some of the most exclusive clubs in the New York area. The service has always been first-rate and friendly and the food has been uniformly excellent, well-prepared and presented. That plate of surf 'n' turf looks lousy and as if it were served by the stingiest chef Trump could find. They didn't get cocktails and only one glass of wine. Once again, Trump's claims of "the biggest and the best" turn out to be his usual BS.

Those people who paid the money deserved what they got, in my opinion. They wanted access to the Idiot and got lousy food for their millions. They truly are suckers and losers.
