唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統週四在北弗吉尼亞州的豪華高爾夫球場上接待了他的加密貨幣項目之一，其中一位是前NBA明星拉馬爾·奧多姆（Lamar Odom）。

Outside the club, protesters gathered with signs that read "stop crypto corruption" and "no corrupt fools."

在俱樂部外，抗議者聚集了跡象，上面寫著“停止加密腐敗”和“沒有腐敗的傻瓜”。

The ex-Laker was not absolved from those same protesters - but he was not fazed.

這位前員工沒有從那些抗議者中免除 - 但他並沒有感到困惑。

"I’m just about to pass through security and officially walk into the Trump Gala. Honestly… I’m fired up," Odom said in an X post.

奧多姆在X帖子中說：“我正要通過安全，正式走進特朗普晚會。老實說……我被解雇了。”

"Think about it—what meme coin has ever done this? $ODOM isn’t just a token, it’s taking the stage at a presidential gala tonight!"

“考慮一下 - 梅米硬幣曾經做過的事情？

(On the menu: seared scallops, filet mignon and chocolate cake.)

（在菜單上：烤扇貝，菲力牛排和巧克力蛋糕。）

Odom also said in the post, "This is the most authentic soulful experience in crypto history."

奧多姆還在帖子中說：“這是加密歷史上最真實的深情經歷。”

Among those protesting outside the golf club was Sen. Jeff Merkley, a Democrat from Oregon.

在高爾夫俱樂部外抗議的人中，來自俄勒岡州的民主黨人傑夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）參議員。

"This is the crypto corruption club," the Times quoted Merkley as saying. "This is like the Mount Everest of corruption."

《泰晤士報》援引默克利的話說：“這是加密腐敗俱樂部。” “這就像腐敗的珠穆朗瑪峰。”

The senator said he was protesting Trump’s involvement in a meme coin shortly after the president announced in December that he was running for president again.

這位參議員說，他正在抗議特朗普在12月宣布他再次競選總統後不久之後不久，他參與了模因硬幣。

Three days before Trump took office on Jan. 20, he announced the creation of the $TRUMP meme coin, describing it as a way for his supporters to "have fun."

特朗普於1月20日上任前三天，他宣布創建了$ trump Meme Coin，將其描述為他的支持者“玩得開心”的一種方式。

Trump’s meme coin saw an initial spike in value, followed by a steep drop. Its creators, which include an entity controlled by the Trump Organization, have made hundreds of millions of dollars by collecting fees on trades, according to the Associated Press.

特朗普的模因硬幣的價值最初是有價值的，隨後是陡峭的下降。據美聯社報導，它的創建者包括由特朗普組織控制的實體，通過收取交易費用賺了數億美元。

After Trump announced his latest bid for the presidency, Merkley and Sen. Tim Kane, a Democrat from Massachusetts, introduced an amendment to a bill that would prevent the president from investing in any cryptocurrency.

在特朗普宣布最新出價後，來自馬薩諸塞州的民主黨人默克利和參議員蒂姆·凱恩（Tim Kane）提出了一項法案的修正案，該法案將阻止總統投資任何加密貨幣。

The amendment, which was ultimately not included in the bill, was part of a broader effort by some lawmakers to increase oversight of the cryptocurrency industry.

該修正案最終未包含在該法案中，是一些議員們在增加對加密貨幣行業的監督方面更廣泛努力的一部分。

The senators argued that the president’s connection with cryptocurrency ventures could open the door to conflicts of interest and influence peddling.

參議員辯稱，總統與加密貨幣的聯繫可能打開利益衝突並影響兜售的大門。

They also expressed concerns about the potential for meme coins to be used for scams and fraud.

他們還對模因硬幣用於騙局和欺詐的潛力表示擔憂。

"We're not surprised that President Trump is hosting a lavish party for cryptocurrency investors at his golf course," a spokesperson for the senators said in a statement.

參議員的發言人在一份聲明中說：“我們並不感到驚訝的是，特朗普總統在他的高爾夫球場上為加密貨幣投資者舉辦了一個豪華的政黨。”

"But we are surprised that any elected official would want to stand with an administration that is actively trying to corrupt our democracy for personal gain."

“但是，我們感到驚訝的是，任何當選官員都希望與一個積極試圖腐敗我們的民主以謀取個人利益的政府站立。”

Odom played 14 seasons in the NBA, 12 of them with the Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers. He won back-to-back titles with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010 and was named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year in the 2010-11 campaign.

奧多姆在NBA效力了14個賽季，其中12個賽季與洛杉磯快船隊和湖人隊一起比賽。他在2009年和2010年與湖人隊贏得了背對背的冠軍，並在2010 - 11年度競選中被評為NBA年度最佳第六人。
