In a recent event covered by COINOTAG on May 23rd, 25-year-old social media influencer Nicholas Pinto revealed his discontent after investing $360,000 in TRUMP tokens to attend a banquet. Despite the hefty price tag, Pinto expressed dissatisfaction with the meal, which he described as “Walmart-level steak.” The menu included a “Trump Organic Garden Salad” and a “Double Entrée” combining filet mignon and pan-seared sole, both receiving negative reviews from attendees. Pinto remarked, “It was the worst meal I’ve ever eaten.” Interestingly, while the cuisine disappointed, the presence of Donald Trump drew significant attention. Pinto candidly noted that he would have preferred a meal featuring Trump’s iconic Big Mac over the banquet offerings.
The evening wasn’t without controversy, as Pinto faced a protest from the nonprofit organization “Public Citizen,” which criticized Trump’s cryptocurrency ventures. Robert Weissman, co-chair of the organization, referred to them as “one of the most corrupt innovations in American political history.” This tumultuous atmosphere persisted throughout the evening, diminishing the exclusivity of the gathering. Pinto criticized Trump’s speech as largely irrelevant, highlighting the lack of engagement with the audience. Even conservative media host Kaitlin Sinclair lamented the absence of a group photo opportunity with Trump, adding to the evening’s awkwardness. By the end of the night, Pinto could only satisfy his hunger with the pre-dinner bread and butter, underscoring the overall disappointment of the elaborate event.
