Stop the Trump Auction That Opens the Door to Foreign Influence


Stop the Trump Auction That Opens the Door to Foreign Influence
The Issue
Today, the Trump campaign is closing bidding on a shocking offer: private dinners with Donald Trump auctioned off to the highest bidder, using the Trump family’s own cryptocurrency.
According to The New York Times, this auction could allow foreign donors, lobbyists, or state-linked individuals to buy face time with Trump — at a time when foreign governments are actively seeking influence in U.S. politics.
This auction has no restrictions on foreign nationals — meaning people with ties to foreign governments or global lobbying interests could literally buy face time with the president.
Some bidders have openly stated their intention to do so.
There is no public vetting, no transparency, and no guardrails in place to stop foreign influence from being exchanged for campaign cash.
Experts are warning: this is a clear national security risk — and a blatant invitation to corruption and backdoor lobbying.
Especially when the bidding is happening through $TRUMP crypto, benefiting his family company.
We call on the Trump Administration and the Congress immediately stop this auction and prohibit any foreign interference and personal deals US President might make that way.
Publicly disclose who bids, who wins, and how much they pay for political access.
This isn’t fundraising. It’s selling off access to the presidency — and it must be stopped before the window closes.
