Third meeting planned for Nov. 22

GetTrumpMemes, the project behind the TRUMP memecoin, said U.S. President Donald Trump will attend a dinner on Nov. 22 at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, DC, for the token’s 185 largest holders. According to the website, Trump will be joined by three unnamed guests, and the invitation list will be based on wallet rankings between Sept. 30 and Nov. 12.

The event will be the third time Trump has met with the memecoin community. Previous gatherings included a dinner in Washington in May 2025 with 220 TRUMP holders, and a lunch at Mar-a-Lago in Florida in April 2026 that drew 297 people.

Announcement briefly pushed the price higher

After the event was announced, market data showed the token price rose 9% on Wednesday, from $2.05 to $2.23. At the time of publication, TRUMP was trading back around $2.06.

The token was launched shortly before Trump’s January 2025 inauguration and quickly climbed to as high as $70 before falling below $20 within days. In August, Public Citizen, the consumer-rights nonprofit, estimated that investors in the Trump family's crypto ventures had lost a total of $4.7 billion since 2022, including $3.2 billion tied to the memecoin.

  • Targeted attendance for the November event: 185
  • Price move after the announcement: $2.05-$2.23
  • Losses Public Citizen attributed to the memecoin: $3.2 billion
  • Crypto-related income reported in Trump’s 2025 disclosures: $1.4 billion

Ethics criticism and regulation debate continue

The event revived criticism that Trump is linking access to the presidency with token ownership. After the first meeting, some critics argued the model deepened concerns about conflicts of interest and selling access. At the May 2025 dinner, Tron founder Justin Sun emerged as the largest TRUMP holder, with roughly $19 million worth of tokens at the time; the SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) later settled its case against Sun for $10 million.

The announcement also came weeks after the U.S. Senate failed to advance the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act, which was expected to create a framework for overseeing crypto assets. Some Democrats who voted against the bill said its ethics provisions did not address concerns over Trump profiting from the crypto sector. A White House spokesperson referred comment requests to the organizers.
