邀請邀請在弗吉尼亞州特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部組織的特別晚宴邀請的唯一方法是成為特朗普$特朗普的最高買家之一，這是總統本人鑄造的成員。

More than 200 guests will converge on the manicured lawns of one of Donald Trump’s ritzy golf courses this week for an event that has been branded equal parts grotesque and bizarre.

本週，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的一間ritzy高爾夫球場的修剪整齊的草坪將匯聚200多名客人，以舉辦一場烙印，該活動被冠以相同的怪異和怪異的烙印。

The only way to score an invite to the special dinner being organised at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia is to be one of the highest-rolling buyers of $TRUMP, the memecoin minted by the president himself.

邀請在弗吉尼亞州特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部組織的特別晚餐邀請的唯一方法是成為特朗普$ trump的最高買家之一，這是總統本人鑄造的成員。

The top 25 investors — already loosely described as the “crypto aristocracy” — will be granted a private audience with Trump before the meal, along with an uncertain guarantee of a White House tour.

排名前25位的投資者（已經被寬鬆地描述為“加密貴族”）將在用餐前授予特朗普的私人觀眾，以及不確定的白宮之旅的不確定保證。

“The most EXCLUSIVE INVITATION in the World,” the event’s website claimed. That line, along with the mention of the White House, has since vanished.

該活動的網站聲稱：“世界上最獨特的邀請。”此後，這條線隨後已經消失了。

It comes as Trump and his cabinet have pushed to make America the “crypto capital” of the world. Despite previous disdain for cryptocurrency, the 78-year-old has moved quickly to align his administration with the industry.

這是因為特朗普和他的內閣努力使美國成為世界的“加密首都”。儘管以前對加密貨幣不屑一顧，但這位78歲的年輕人迅速採取行動與該行業保持一致。

His executive order establishing a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” suggests he is pushing for deregulation and domestic mining — much to the delight of the sector’s largest players.

他建立“戰略比特幣儲備”的行政命令表明，他正在推動放鬆管制和國內採礦，這讓該行業最大的球員感到高興。

The Republican’s characteristically shameless brand of self-promotion and philosophy of wealth hoarding were always going to lead him to crypto.

共和黨人的自我宣傳和財富哲學的典型無恥品牌總是將他帶到加密貨幣。

In the weeks before the announcement, $TRUMP was drifting toward irrelevance. But once access to the president was baked into the token, the price surged out of control.

在宣布這一消息之前的幾周里，特朗普正在朝著無關緊要的情況下移動。但是，一旦與總統的訪問被烘烤到代幣中，價格就失控了。

And as the president of the richest nation on the planet, the idea of using his official position to market his self-branded currency has blown a fuse among ethicists.

作為地球上最富有國家的總統，利用他的正式立場來推銷他的自品牌貨幣的想法在倫理學家中炸毀了融合。

Do Presidents and memecoins mix?

總統和成人是否混合？

Memecoins lean into absurdity by design and generally make their gains from internet dwellers jumping on the hypewagon. A few simple tweets from Elon Musk in 2021 sent the bizarre “DOGE” coin asset surging. Millions of wannabe crypto investors were hanging onto every word that came out of the eccentric billionaire, who was openly demonstrating his power to move mountains simply by posting online.

Memecoins通過設計傾向於荒謬，通常會從互聯網居民跳上Hypewagon中獲得收益。 2021年，來自埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）的一些簡單推文使奇異的“總督”硬幣資產激增。數以百萬計的想成為Crypto投資者正在掛在古怪的億萬富翁中的每個單詞上，他們公開地證明了他僅通過在線發布的山脈才能移動山脈的能力。

Watchdogs are now asking whether Trump’s particular coin has crossed a legal line. Critics say his golf course crypto dinner may violate federal ethics rules or even the Constitution’s emoluments clause, depending on who’s in the room and how they got there.

看門狗現在詢問特朗普的特定硬幣是否越過法律線。批評家說，他的高爾夫球場加密晚宴可能違反聯邦道德規範，甚至憲法的埃默爾條款，具體取決於房間裡的誰以及他們如何到達那裡。

“It’s an ethics nightmare,” former White House ethics counsel under the Obama administration Norm Eisen said via the Washington Post.

奧巴馬政府諾森（Norm Eisen）在《華盛頓郵報》中說：“這是一場道德噩夢。”

Senators Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren went even harder and suggested the entire charade undermined the sanctity of the nation’s highest office.

參議員亞當·希夫（Adam Schiff）和伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）變得更加艱難，並建議整個魅力削弱了美國最高職位的神聖性。

“The American people deserve the unwavering assurance that access to the presidency is not being offered for sale to the highest bidder in exchange for the President’s own financial gain,” they wrote in a letter to the Office of Government Ethics.

他們在致政府道德辦公室的一封信中寫道：“美國人民值得堅定的保證，即沒有向最高出價的人出售總統，以換取總統自己的經濟利益。”

The list of investors attending the Virginia dinner includes a peculiar mix of blockchain evangelists, MAGA devotees, crypto sleuths and international investors. One guest is flying in from Asia to promote a blockchain startup focused on meme culture, while another from New York says he’s using the event to wear Trump-branded watches and defend the president’s access model as more democratic than traditional fundraisers.

參加弗吉尼亞晚宴的投資者名單包括區塊鏈福音傳教士，Maga奉獻者，Crypto Sleuths和國際投資者的特殊組合。一位客人正在從亞洲飛來，以促進一個專注於模因文化的區塊鏈初創公司，而紐約的另一位則說，他正在使用這次活動來佩戴特朗普品牌的手錶，並捍衛總統的訪問模式比傳統籌款人更民主。
