Thin on the right so far

None of the 22 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to host a dinner for the top 185 purchasers of his $TRUMP meme coin. The event will take place on November 22 at Trump National in Washington, D.C. The top 29 buyers will receive access to a VIP reception, and the four highest purchasers will be given an 18-karat gold watch. This event is a repeat of a similar dinner held in May 2025.

Disagreement on contest end date

KIFI reports that the contest for invitations began on Wednesday and runs through November 12. However, BITRSS states that VIP status will be determined based on investor participation in the token and will be locked on November 12.

What the coverage left out

Is Trump to host dinner for 185 top buyers of $TRUMP meme coin left or right?
