Donald Trump’s history with NFTs goes back further than his recent fascination with cryptocurrency. This year’s competition was a big leap toward bringing digital assets together with political engagement.

The event is not without its controversies. Hayden Davis’s allegations are extremely serious. He alleges that some guests of a previous VIP dinner were given advance notice, allowing them to purchase TRUMP tokens ahead of everyone else. These types of claims have made Transportation Alternative rescind nominations due to incidents of corruption and political corruption.
