The top 29 holders will be invited to a VIP reception with Trump and one guest "legend," while the top four will receive an 18-karat gold Trump watch. The page also states that no attendee will receive a private meet-and-greet with the president.

Trump’s latest financial disclosure showed more than $635 million in 2025 income from the token, almost all from licensing royalties, while his total crypto income exceeded $1.2 billion.100

Trump2026-10-03 06:08:17Trump-touted $15 billion Iowa steel plant remains unsettled, report saysA $15 billion steel plant project in Iowa announced by the Trump administration at the White House on Sept. 28 has not been finalized, according to a Techub News brief citing Watcher Guru. The project was presented as a major economic pledge ahead of the election and was said to create 1,750 jobs. But key pieces are still missing. The site has not been determined, permits have not been secured, and no binding contracts are in place, the report said. The project was proposed by Mesabi Metallics, a unit of India’s Essar Group, with a target to begin operations by 2030. Local media reports cited in the brief said the company has not yet purchased land or applied for permits. Iowa officials also said they do not have details about the plan. The gap between the White House announcement and the project’s current status has drawn scrutiny over the credibility of the economic promise.70

Policy and Re2026-10-02 12:08:11Democrats turn AI safety and crypto conflicts into parallel campaign lines ahead of 2028New York State Democratic lawmaker Alex Bores on Sept. 22 launched Who Decides, a group meant to bring together parents, teachers, unions, and civil rights organizations around a shared AI safety agenda for Democratic candidates in 2028, from the presidential race down to local contests. The effort follows a sequence that began on Sept. 12, when Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for frontier AI companies to slow capability growth so safety research could catch up, and continued three days later when Barack Obama said AI development should move to the center of public debate and that self-imposed standards were not enough. The report argues that AI risk is being reshaped from a technical policy discussion into a voter-mobilizing political message. It also says Democrats are applying a similar strategy to crypto, pointing to Trump family-linked interests in World Liberty Financial, a proposal from Elizabeth Warren tied to presidential family banking restrictions, a separate bill from Richard Blumenthal, and a Senate minority staff report that tracked 846 sanctioned or seizure-listed wallets tied to Iran and regional proxy groups, most of which were said to rely almost entirely on USDT.90
