唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在他的弗吉尼亞高爾夫俱樂部（Virginia Golf Club

在被稱為歷史上最奢侈的政治跨越的跨界之一中，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）主持了黑領帶晚餐

In a lavish event that has sparked serious legal and ethical questions, former President Donald Trump hosted a black-tie dinner for top investors of the $TRUMP meme coin at his Virginia golf club on Thursday.

在一次引發嚴重法律和道德問題的豪華活動中，前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）週四在他的弗吉尼亞高爾夫俱樂部（Virginia Golf Club）為$ trump Meme Coin的頂級投資者舉辦了黑領帶晚宴。

The gala, which brought together 220 investors who collectively spent an estimated $148 million to secure their seats, was a blend of high finance and political spectacle. It also saw the presidential seal used during an address, contradicting claims the event was on Trump’s personal time.

該晚會匯集了220名投資者，他們共同花費了1.48億美元來確保自己的席位，這融合了高金融和政治奇觀。它還看到了在講話中使用的總統印章，這與特朗普個人時期的說法相矛盾。

According to U.S. law, the presidential seal cannot be used in a way that implies government endorsement or is leveraged for personal gain. Violations could result in fines or up to six months in jail.

根據美國法律，總統印章不能以暗示政府認可或為個人利益而使用的方式使用。違規行為可能導致罰款或最多六個月的監禁。

“The use of the presidential seal at a crypto fundraiser raises serious ethical and legal questions,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), who called the dinner “an unprecedented pay-to-play scheme.”

參議員Richard Blumenthal（D-CT）說：“在加密籌款活動中使用總統​​印章提出了嚴重的道德和法律問題。

The gala at Trump National Golf Club on May 22 was a hot topic among lawmakers this week, with some raising concerns over foreign influence and emoluments.

5月22日，特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部舉行的晚會是本周立法者中的一個熱門話題，對外國影響力和埃默爾（Emoluments）引起了一些擔憂。

Altogether, 35 House Democrats penned a letter to the Justice Department urging an investigation into whether foreign nationals — including major investors like China-born crypto mogul Justin Sun — had contributed to the event or were granted special access.

總之，有35名眾議院民主黨人寫信給司法部，敦促調查外國國民 - 包括出生於中國的加密貨幣大亨賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun）等主要投資者 - 為這次活動做出了貢獻，還是被授予了特殊機會。

U.S. law prohibits foreign entities from contributing to political campaigns or influencing domestic elections.

美國法律禁止外國實體為政治運動做出貢獻或影響國內選舉。

Sun, who was the largest known investor in the $TRUMP token with holdings exceeding $18 million, received a $100,000 limited-edition Trump Tourbillon watch during the event.

孫是特朗普代幣中最大的知名投資者，其股份超過1800萬美元，在活動期間獲得了100,000美元的限量版特朗普·杜比隆（Trump Tourbillon）手錶。

Despite facing previous fraud allegations from the SEC — now paused — Sun shared his appreciation on X, stating he was “grateful for the invitation.”

儘管面臨SEC的先前欺詐指控（現已停止），太陽對X表示讚賞，並表示“感謝邀請”。

Trump: ‘We’re Bringing Crypto Back to the USA’

特朗普：“我們正在將加密貨幣帶回美國”

During his remarks at the gala, Trump framed the event as part of a broader effort to support cryptocurrency innovation in the United States.

特朗普在慶典上的講話中，作為支持美國加密貨幣創新的更廣泛努力的一部分。

“I always put the country way ahead of the business,” Trump told the cheering audience. “The Biden Administration persecuted crypto innovators — we’re bringing them back into the USA where they belong.”

特朗普對歡呼的觀眾說：“我總是將國家領先於業務。” “拜登政府迫害了加密創新者 - 我們將他們帶回了他們所屬的美國。”

Videos from the gala show Trump arriving via Marine One and delivering a speech filled with trademark bravado, touting his 2024 re-election victory and attacking Vice President Kamala Harris’s border policies.

晚會節目特朗普的視頻通過海軍陸戰隊（Marine One）到達，並發表了充滿商標Bravado的演講，吹捧他的2024年連任勝利，並攻擊副總統卡馬拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris）的邊境政策。

“We have the strongest border ever,” he declared. “We took a border that was like an open sieve and made it strong.”

他宣稱：“我們擁有有史以來最強的邊界。” “我們佔據了一個像露天的邊界，使其變得堅強。”

Despite his fiery rhetoric, Trump kept a professional distance during the event. As attendee Christoph Heuermann posted, “Even VIP token holders couldn’t speak or shake hands with the president. It was still worth it to experience him live.”

儘管他的言論激烈，但特朗普在活動期間保持了專業距離。正如與會者克里斯托夫·休曼（Christoph Heuermann）發表的那樣：“即使是VIP代幣持有者也無法與總統說話或握手。

Who Attended the $TRUMP Memecoin Dinner?

誰參加了$ trump Memecoin晚餐？

The invite-only dinner was marketed as a reward for the largest holders of the $TRUMP token. Guests had to pass background checks and arrived to a red-carpet experience featuring signs of Trump with slogans like “Fight, Fight, Fight.”

僅邀請晚餐是為$特朗普代幣的最大持有人銷售的。客人不得不通過背景調查，並獲得了紅色的教室體驗，其中包含特朗普的跡象，上面寫著“戰鬥，戰鬥，戰鬥”等口號。

Attendees included a diverse mix of global crypto professionals — from exchange executives to fund managers. Former NBA player Lamar Odom also made an appearance, although he was met with scattered boos.

與會者包括全球加密專業人員的各種組合 - 從交流主管到資助經理。前NBA球員拉馬爾·奧多姆（Lamar Odom）也出現了，儘管他遇到了散落的噓聲。

Some investors, like marketing executive Nick Pinto, reportedly spent over $500,000 on $TRUMP tokens to qualify for the dinner.

據報導，一些投資者，例如市場營銷主管尼克·平托（Nick Pinto），在特朗普代幣上花費了超過500,000美元來參加晚宴。

The top 25 investors enjoyed a private VIP reception with the president before the main event, while blockchain firm Inca Digital reported that their collective contribution exceeded $111 million.

在主賽事之前，前25名投資者在總統享受了私人VIP接待，而區塊鏈公司Inca Digital報告說，他們的集體捐款超過1.11億美元。

Still, despite the opulence, not everyone left impressed. One attendee told CNBC that the food “sucked” and claimed event security was surprisingly “lax.”

儘管如此，儘管富裕，但並不是每個人都留下深刻的印象。一位與會者告訴CNBC，食物“很爛”，聲稱事件安全是“寬鬆”。

The Money Behind the Meme

模因背後的錢

According to Chainalysis, a company controlled by the Trump family — along with a partner firm — holds 80% of the $TRUMP coin’s remaining supply. The two entities have reportedly earned over $320 million in Trump-branded crypto ventures, with more than $1.3 million generated just after the dinner announcement.

根據Chainalysis，由特朗普家族控制的一家公司以及一家合作夥伴公司持有$特朗普硬幣剩餘的供應量的80％。據報導，這兩個實體在宣布晚餐後產生了超過130萬美元的特朗普品牌的加密貨幣投資公司超過3.2億美元。

Critics argue this demonstrates a direct financial link between Trump’s political brand and his crypto endeavors — a connection that could further blur ethical lines.

批評者認為，這表明特朗普的政治品牌與他的加密貨幣努力之間存在直接的財務聯繫，這種聯繫可能會進一步模糊道德路線。

But White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt rejected that narrative.

但是白宮新聞秘書卡羅琳·利維特（Karoline Leavitt）拒絕了這種敘述。

“All of the president’s assets are in a blind trust, managed by his children,” she said. “It’s absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off the presidency.”

她說：“總統的所有資產都是盲目的信託，由他的孩子管理。” “任何人都暗示這位總統正在從總統任職中獲利是荒謬的。”

Leavitt also clarified that the event was not an official government function, emphasizing, “It ain’t happening at the White House.”

Leavitt還澄清說，這次活動不是政府的官方職能，強調：“白宮不會發生。”

$TRUMP Price Drops as Protesters Gather

當抗議者聚集時，特朗普的價格下降了

Ironically, just hours after the high-profile gala concluded, the $TRUMP coin’s price dropped by 16%, reflecting the volatility often associated with meme coins. Protesters gathered outside the venue with signs reading, “America is not for sale” and “Stop crypto corruption.”

具有諷刺意味的是，在備受矚目的晚會結束後的幾個小時後，特朗普硬幣的價格下降了16％，反映了經常與模因硬幣相關的波動性。抗議者在會場外面錄製了“美國不出售”和“停止加密腐敗”的跡象。
