唐納德·特朗普總統與富人參加了大量的黑帶晚餐

President Donald Trump will be attending a black tie dinner with 220 wealthy investors at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia, on May 22. The dinner is a reward for the investors who made the leaderboard in a contest to be among the top purchasers of the $TRUMP meme coin, a type of cryptocurrency.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統將於5月22日在他位於弗吉尼亞州斯特林的高爾夫俱樂部的220個富裕投資者參加黑色領帶晚宴。這次晚餐是對在比賽中成為$ $ TRAVS MEME COIN的頂級購買者（一種加密貨幣）中排行榜的投資者的獎勵。

The dinner is being protested by Democrats and ethics experts, who say it provides a way for the wealthy to influence the president by funneling money to his business. An affiliate of The Trump Organization and the company Fight Fight Fight LLC own 80% of the meme coins, according to the cryptocurrency’s website.

民主黨和道德專家正在抗議晚餐，他們說這為富人提供了一種通過向他的業務匯款來影響總統的方式。根據加密貨幣網站的說法，特朗普組織和公司的分支機構擁有模因硬幣的80％。

"This is one of the most blatant and appalling instances of selling access to the presidency I've ever seen," said Donald Sherman, executive director and chief counsel of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

華盛頓的執行董事兼首席顧問唐納德·謝爾曼（Donald Sherman）表示：“這是出售我見過的總統職位的最公然，最令人震驚的實例之一。”

"President Trump is working to secure GOOD deals for the American people, not for himself," White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement. "President Trump only acts in the best interest of the American public - which is why they overwhelmingly re-elected him to this office, despite years of lies and false accusations against him and his businesses from the fake news media."

白宮女發言人安娜·凱利（Anna Kelly）在一份聲明中說：“特朗普總統正在努力為美國人民確定良好的交易，而不是為自己確定。” “特朗普總統只為美國公眾的最大利益而行動 - 這就是為什麼他們壓倒性地將他當選為這個辦公室的原因，儘管有多年的謊言和虛假的指控對他及其企業從假新聞媒體上進行了指控。”

The dinner guests are not being disclosed. However, one of those attending is Chinese-born crypto mogul Justin Sun, who announced his plans on social media.

晚餐客人沒有被披露。但是，參加的人之一是中國出生的加密大亨賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun），他在社交媒體上宣布了他的計劃。

"As the top holder of $TRUMP, I'm excited to connect with everyone, talk crypto, and discuss the future of our industry," said Sun, who is worth $8.5 billion, according to Forbes.

福布斯說：“作為特朗普的最高持有人，我很高興能與所有人建立聯繫，談論加密貨幣，並討論我們行業的未來。”

Trump, who once criticized the crypto industry but has since become a huge booster and investor, also has promoted cryptocurrencies on the campaign trail, telling a crowd in Nashville in July for the Bitcoin Conference that he wanted to make the United States "the crypto capital of the planet and bitcoin superpower of the world." He has promised favorable regulation of the industry, which supported his campaign.

特朗普曾經批評加密貨幣行業，但此後成為巨大的助推器和投資者，他還在競選活動中促進了加密貨幣，他於7月在納什維爾舉行的比特幣會議上向納什維爾的一群人表示，他想讓美國成為“地球的加密之都和世界上的比特幣超級能力”。他已承諾對該行業的有利監管，這支持了他的競選活動。

The president held a crypto summit in the White House with prominent figures in the industry and signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile. The administration also dismantled a Justice Department unit targeting crypto fraud.

總統在白宮舉行了加密峰會，該峰會在該行業中有著重要的數字，並簽署了一項行政命令，建立了戰略性比特幣儲備和數字資產庫存。政府還拆除了針對加密欺詐的司法部部門。

But Trump's financial stake in the industry has raised ethical concerns. Among other ventures, he launched a pair of cryptocurrency tokens and owns 60% of the crypto platform World Liberty Financial.

但是特朗普在該行業的財務利益引發了道德問題。在其他企業中，他推出了一對加密貨幣代幣，並擁有60％的加密平台世界自由金融。

Two of the cryptocurrency investments owned by Trump-affiliated entities alone have made at least $300 million in trading fees on sales of his meme coin and other digital currency since January, according to ethics watchdogs, Democratic lawmakers, crypto analysts and other experts.

根據道德監管機構，民主黨立法者，加密貨幣分析師和其他專家的說法，僅由特朗普附屬實體擁有的兩項加密貨幣投資就其模因硬幣和其他數字貨幣的銷售額至少收取了3億美元的交易費用。

Greater potential profits lie in the Trump entities' stake in the value of the meme coin and their other Trump-themed crypto investments, these analysts and other experts say.

這些分析師和其他專家說，特朗普實體在模因硬幣及其其他以特朗普主題的加密投資的價值中的利潤更大。

Recently, World Liberty Financial announced that one of its digital coins is being used by an Abu Dhabi investment firm for a $2 billion investment in cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Democratic lawmakers and crypto analysts said the deal was a conflict of interest that could earn World Liberty at least $27 million annually.

最近，世界自由金融公司宣布，阿布扎比投資公司正在使用其數字硬幣之一，用於對加密貨幣交易所二進制的20億美元投資。民主黨立法者和加密分析師表示，這筆交易是一場利益衝突，每年可能至少賺取世界自由度至少2700萬美元。

"President Trump's financial entanglements to the $TRUMP coin, as well as the attempted use of the White House to host competitions to prop up the value of $TRUMP, represents an unprecedented, pay-to-play scheme to provide access to the Presidency to the highest bidder," said U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, who opened a preliminary investigation into Trump's crypto businesses this month.

“特朗普總統與特朗普硬幣的財務糾纏，以及嘗試使用白宮舉辦競賽來支撐特朗普的價值，代表了一個前所未有的，付費的計劃，以提供總統職位的訪問權限，以達到最高競標者，”美國參議員Richard Blumenthal，Din-Connecticut，他對Trave進行了PRERELIMINAL的dreperition trake inter trake inter trake inter trake。

"The Trump Organization's involvement in this venture, and the potential for personal gain by President Trump, raise serious concerns about a clear conflict of interest and abuse of office."

“特朗普組織參與了這項企業，以及特朗普總統的個人利益的潛力，對明顯的利益衝突和濫用職務引起了嚴重的關注。”

The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a left-leaning research and advocacy group, estimated that Trump and his entities could be making about $88,000 to $110,000 a day in trading fees on the sales of the $TRUMP meme coin.

左傾研究與倡導組織稅收與經濟政策研究所估計，特朗普及其實體可能每天賺取約88,000至110,000美元的交易費用，以銷售$ trump Meme Coin。

The Trump Organization did not respond to requests for comment.

特朗普組織沒有回應置評請求。

The president's actions come as Congress is considering legislation to regulate cryptocurrencies, which has been a subject of bipartisan interest on Capitol Hill.

總統的行動是因為國會正在考慮立法來規範加密貨幣，這是國會山上兩黨興趣的主題。

"It appears that President Trump is personally profiting from the promotion of his own meme coin, in addition to taking advantage of the administration's role to intervene in the market on his own behalf," said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, who has been critical of the president's actions.

D-oregon參議員傑夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）說：“除了利用政府的角色來代表他自己干預市場外，特朗普總統在促進自己的模因硬幣中親自獲利。”

"This is a stunning public display of corruption: The White House and President Trump are selling access to the government for personal profit."

“這是一個令人驚嘆的腐敗公開展示：白宮和特朗普總統正在向政府出售機會以謀取個人利潤。”

The president's actions also come as his administration accepted a $400 million jet from Qatar in a deal that has raised concerns about the foreign nation trying to curry influence with the president.

總統的行動也發生了，因為他的政府接受了卡塔爾的4億美元飛機，這一協議引起了人們對國外試圖與總統產生影響的擔憂。

"It's no secret that we're in the midst of a deep and troubling corruption scandal as President Trump peddles access to the highest bidders," said

“當特朗普總統兜售最高競標者時，我們正處於深深而令人不安的腐敗醜聞中，這已不是什麼秘密。”
