Next Thursday, 220 guests will assemble under the crystal chandeliers of the great ballroom at the Trump National Golf Club outside Washington DC for a lavish dinner that organisers have described as 'the most exclusive invitation in the world'.

The 800-acre venue boasts 'stunning views of the Potomac River' – but the most impressive view for the guests, all of them cryptocurrency investors, will be of their host, President Trump.

The 25 wealthiest of them will also attend an 'exclusive reception before dinner with YOUR FAVORITE President' followed, the next day, by a 'VIP tour' of the White House.

They include Justin Sun, a Chinese billionaire best known for paying $6.2million for a banana at an art auction.

He and fellow guests will doubtless make sure that they royally flatter their host about his recent trip to the Middle East, where he was offered a $400million 'palace in the sky' Boeing 747-8 by Qatar's ruling royal family. It's just the sort of jackpot such speculators would admire.
