President Trump praised the top investors in his cryptocurrency meme coin at an exclusive black-tie dinner Thursday as protesters demonstrated outside the event.

More than 200 wealthy crypto bros gathered for a private event at President Donald Trump’s golf club just outside Washington, DC, on Thursday night — dining on filet mignon and halibut while the president stood at a podium regaling them with tales of his 2024 victory.

Use of the presidential seal “in a manner reasonably calculated to convey a false impression of sponsorship of approval by the government” is prohibited by federal law, with violations punishable by a fine or up to six months in jail.
