Influenzer who attended djt's crypto dinner: "Walmart Steaks, he says" [View all]

Nicholas PInto, described as "an influencer" attended djt's crypto dinner and said it was "Walmart Steaks."
(pay wall)

(He never got to meet Trump.)

More:
The menu included a “Trump organic field green salad” and an “entrée duet” of filet mignon and pan-seared halibut. “Everyone at my table was saying the food was some of the worst food that they ever had,” said Pinto after the meal.
But the real draw of the evening, of course, wasn’t steak or halibut. It was Trump himself.

As the gala ended around 10 p.m., Pinto, who didn’t meet Elon Musk, got a ride from his father back to a nearby hotel. He then readied himself for an afterparty organized by the Singaporean crypto company at the Ciel Capitol Hill, a rooftop club in Washington, D.C.

But first, he and his father needed to grab a bite to eat. Pinto was still hungry after the underwhelming meal. “The only good part,” he told Fortune, “[was] the bread and the butter.”
