Trump Meme Team Answers: You Only Need to Own a Certain Amount of Money to Have Dinner with Trump

In a statement released on April 24, the $TRUMP token issuance group clarified that token holders do not need to spend $300,000 to qualify for the "Dinner with President Trump" contest. This clarification addresses the confusion regarding the leaderboard entry that some community members misunderstood as a spending threshold.

The Trump Meme Group responds to the community's confusion. The group stated that the entries include transactions and locked holdings that do not participate in the competition. Eligibility is determined solely by users registered on the official leaderboard, ranked by $TRUMP balance weighted by time throughout the competition. "Everyone has incorrectly cited #220 on the block explorer as the cutoff point. That is wrong because it includes things like locked tokens, exchanges, market makers, and non-participants," the research team said. The project emphasizes that all participants must register to be counted. As of the announcement, the participant ranked 220 only holds over 400 dollars in tokens. The leaderboard is available at trumpdinner.gettrumpmemes.com. The development team stated that the tokens from the unlocking and daily distribution will remain locked for another 90 days, extending beyond the duration of the competition. The research team noted that future updates will include additional competition features. "The competition is still open and anyone has the chance to have dinner with President Trump," the post said.
