As President Donald Trump’s greatest Memoin buyers as Tron -founder Justin Sun Bask in his attention over dinner Thursday, Democratic lawmakers and advocates have set up a number of protests and complaints to reject the president’s crypto event as a fundamental corrupt.
Trump will host his dinner for more than 200 of his leading Memecoin investors whose money will fill the chests of the president’s own business units. They have allegedly been invited to his golf course in the capital, Trump National Golf Club Washington, DC, outside of which Memecoin buyers may encounter protesters.
Some of the counter-programming for his dinner starts earlier in the day in front of the Capitol building. At. At 12.45, representative Maxine Waters, the supreme Democrat of the House Financial Services Committee, will end other legislators in front of the house to Rail against Trump, and accuse him of abusing his White House to “shamelessly promote and earn a number of crypto -ventures tied to himself and his family,” according to a message about the event.
Waters will also introduce a new message bill “to block Trump’s Memecoin and stop his cryptocorruption, once and for all.” The legislation is unlikely to start a Republican-Majority Congress would prohibit presidents, vice presidents, members of Congress and their families from “engaging in similar crypt elimity.”
It is the same type of prohibition that Democrats had tried to put into crypto re-acquisition, but Republicans have refused to allow Trump-targeted language into the current bills for digital assets, including Senate’s stableecoin efforts to get close to the finish line.
Later Wednesday at. At 14:30, another press conference for democratic lawmakers will include senators Chris Murphy and Elizabeth Warren, both of whom have been prominent in congregation criticism against Trump’s crypto acts. Murphy had introduced its own bill with a similar goal to Waters’, modern remuneration and malfeasance enforcement (MEME) Act to prevent federal officials from using their positions to take advantage of digital assets.
This event – also outside Capitol – will also include Senator Jeff Merkley, who also intends to participate in an evening protest just outside Trump’s golf course, host of progressive groups under the banner of our revolution. The message from “America is not for sale” is to push back on “an obvious example of political access sold to the highest bidder,” according to the group.
The guest list for the Memecoin dinner has not been published, but analysis of the purchase of these coins suggests that the largest consumers set aside the privilege of joining the president at the event. The participating anonymity is part of the problem, according to critics who say foreign buyers have access to the president without the public’s knowledge.
The debate over the president’s crypto tape delayed temporary progress with US stablecoin legislation intended to set up rules for domestic issuers, but the bill returned to the field this week to clear an important procedural obstacle in the Senate Monday.
Trump’s team has neglected allegations of corruption. Official Bo Hines in the White House said last week at Coindesk’s Consensus 2025 conference in Toronto that the Trump family’s crypto -ventures do not constitute conflicts of interest and they have “the right to participate in capital markets.”
