A dinner at Donald Trump’s $1.7 million-a-head event for crypto investors was labelled “worse than airline food”.
Guests criticised the food served at the black-tie event for buyers of Mr Trump’s official cryptocurrency, which is estimated to have netted the US president and his family $148 million (£109 million).
Mr Trump is also reported to have delivered anodyne remarks about “the whole crypto thing” and left quickly without taking questions from what organisers had billed as “the most exclusive invitation in the world”.
