Peter Schiff Says A President Shouldn’t ‘Sell White House Tours’ And Pocket The Proceeds As Trump Prepares To Have Dinner With Memecoin Holders

Economist Peter Schiff took potshots at President Donald Trump’s exclusive dinner on Thursday with holders of his Official Trump (CRYPTO: TRUMP) meme coin.

What Happened: In an X post, Schiff said it should be “illegal” for a U.S. president to charge people to dine with him, in what plainly appeared to be a reference to Trump’s gala dinner with the top 220 investors in his meme coin.

“Campaign donations are fine. But not direct payments to the president’s personal account. Nor should a president sell White House tours and pocket the proceeds personally,” he said.

It’s worth mentioning that while the top 220 holders will dine with Trump at his private country club, the top 25 holders have been promised access to a VIP reception and White House tour, as well as limited-edition commemorative non-fungible tokens
