Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff Supports Impeachment of Trump over Private Dinner for Memecoin Holders
Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff recently expressed his support for the impeachment of Trump during a town hall meeting, addressing Trump’s plan to host a private dinner for holders of his memecoin. He stated, “When the sitting President of the United States sells opportunities for meetings in a way that effectively pays him directly, there is no doubt that this constitutes an impeachable offense.”
(Background: Trump announced that the first 220 holders of the “Trump Memecoin” would be eligible to attend a dinner on May 22, leading to a 60% surge in the token’s value.)

Trump’s Announcement of Exclusive Dinner at His Golf Club
Recently, President Donald Trump announced that he would host an exclusive dinner for the first 220 holders of the “Official Trump Memecoin” (Token: TRUMP) at his Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C. While this news initially garnered praise from the cryptocurrency community, resulting in a boost in the value of Trump Coin, it also sparked a wave of opposition in American politics.
Democratic Senators Call for Trump’s Impeachment
According to NBC, Senator Jon Ossoff publicly voiced his support for impeaching Trump during a recent town hall meeting regarding Trump’s plan to host a private dinner for his memecoin holders. He remarked:
“Just 48 hours ago, I saw him offering meeting opportunities for those buying his memecoin. When the sitting President of the United States effectively sells opportunities for meetings in a way that pays him directly, there is no doubt that this constitutes an impeachable offense.”
Ossoff emphasized that the dinner not only involves potential conflicts of interest but could also violate federal ethics regulations, hence he “strongly” supports initiating impeachment proceedings in Georgia, where he is campaigning for re-election to the Senate.
While Ossoff’s criticisms of Trump may have merit, it is noteworthy that the realistic challenges facing any impeachment effort are not optimistic. Trump not only won the presidential election but also sees his Republican Party holding a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Ossoff acknowledged that unless the Democratic Party gains control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections, progressing impeachment proceedings will be difficult.
Moreover, Trump has previously faced impeachment twice but was acquitted both times due to support from Senate Republicans, demonstrating his strong influence within the party. Legal experts have also pointed out that even if an impeachment motion is introduced, the likelihood of success is minimal without sufficient Senate votes to support it.
Controversy Surrounding Trump’s Memecoin Dinner
In addition to Ossoff’s criticisms, other voices of opposition within American politics regarding Trump’s actions are also prevalent. For instance, Senator Chris Murphy publicly condemned the move on social media platform X, stating, “This is the most overt corruption ever done by a president.” He, along with other Democrats such as Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Adam Schiff, have called on the U.S. Office of Government Ethics to investigate whether this event constitutes corrupt behavior for personal gain. Furthermore, Tony Carrk, Executive Director of the nonprofit organization Accountable.US, criticized Trump for “publicly inviting investors to bid for access to the president,” implying that the presidential powers are being reduced to a personal business tool.
On the other hand, some cryptocurrency investors and Trump supporters have expressed high praise for this initiative. They believe that Trump’s actions demonstrate his innovative thinking as the “crypto president,” suggesting that direct interaction with investors will genuinely propel the U.S. into becoming a “Bitcoin superpower.” Trump’s son, Eric Trump, also expressed pride on behalf of the Trump Organization regarding the “TRUMP” memecoin becoming “the hottest digital meme” at present, highlighting the family’s successful positioning in the cryptocurrency sector.
TRUMP Coin Surges 75% in a Week
According to the latest data from CoinGecko, incentivized by the Trump dinner, the TRUMP coin has seen a staggering increase of 75.7% in the past week, currently reported at $14.93. Although it cannot be ruled out that subsequent developments related to this event may further drive up the coin’s price, investors should remain cautious, as memecoins fundamentally lack substantial value support, and any negative news could severely impact the TRUMP coin, warranting prudence.
