President Donald Trump is hosting a dinner at his private gold club near Washington, D.C., Thursday night for the top holders of his $TRUMP meme coin, but a report in The Guardian says nearly half of his "winners" have lost millions on the cryptocurrency.

"Immigration advocates and activists say the Cops TV-style content is a scare tactic," wrote reporters Lauren Gamino and Maanvi Singh. They spoke with immigration activists who decried the made-for-TV performances. ...
