The median Trump voter
Nick Pinto, a 26-year-old crypto investor, said he invested $450,000 in the Trump meme coin and the value of his investments is down to roughly $50,000. He said he was disappointed by the first dinner last year, as Trump was there for "no more" than 20 minutes and did not take photos
with the crypto holders. The steak was only 5 ounces and "not something you'd get at a steakhouse in New York," he said.
Pinto also said that, if it was an option, he could see himself voting for Trump again. He plans on attending the upcoming dinner.
"I hope the food is better this time," he said.
