Trump’s dinner parties are far from over. On Monday, May 5, US President hosted another high-profile fundraiser —this time aiming the crypto and artificial intelligence sectors—with a $1.5 million-per-plate “Crypto & AI Innovators Dinner.” The event, organised by MAGA Inc., featured tech investor David Sacks as a special guest and is expected to focus on shaping future regulations. The dinner marked Trump’s latest move in a series of fancy fundraising dinners.
Is Trump Hinting at a third term?
There is no clarity regarding the purpose of these pricey dinners. The Constitution’s 22nd Amendment bars him from seeking a third term. Although, last month, the Trump Organization began selling “Trump 2028” caps. “I’ll be an eight-year president; I’ll be a two-term president. I always thought that was very important,” Trump told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker in an interview that aired May 4. While Trump’s ability to run again remains constitutionally restricted, the funds raised could provide him with significant influence over Republican candidates and policy direction. On May 22, Trump will host yet another dinner, offering access to 220 top holders of the $TRUMP meme coin at the same venue. The event is described as black-tie optional.
