Controversy Over Political Meme Coins Deepens

The MELANIA token launched on the eve of Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, following the earlier TRUMP meme coin. While TRUMP saw multiple price surges tied to policy announcements, both tokens have been accused of manipulation. The controversy peaked in May when Donald Trump invited the top 220 TRUMP token holders to a private dinner at his Virginia golf club — an event critics called an improper blending of politics and private financial gain.
