來自墨西哥蒙特雷的卡車運輸物流大亨，名叫哈維爾·塞爾加斯

跨境貨運公司的Freight Technologies Inc的首席執行官Javier Selgas表示，他的公司最近購買了價值2000萬美元的Trump Memecoin，這是一種愚蠢的加密貨幣類型

A trucking logistics magnate from Monterrey, Mexico, named Javier Selgas didn’t need to direct a rig laden with crypto cash toward Trump Tower on New York’s gilded Fifth Avenue to make a politically strategic investment in the family of America’s 47th president — but he might as well have.

來自墨西哥蒙特雷的卡車運輸物流巨頭，名叫哈維爾·塞爾加斯（Javier Selgas），不需要將帶有加密貨幣現金的鑽機指向紐約鍍金的第五大道上的特朗普大廈，以對美國第47位總統的政治戰略性投資，但他也可能擁有。

Selgas, the CEO of Freight Technologies Inc, a cross-border trucking concern, said his firm recently purchased $20 million worth of the $TRUMP memecoin — a faddish type of cryptocurrency with no inherent value other than its ownership by Donald Trump, his family and close allies — for the explicit purpose of lobbying the White House on tariffs.

跨境卡車運輸問題的Freight Technologies Inc的首席執行官Selgas表示，他的公司最近購買了價值2000萬美元的Trump Memecoin（一種廉價的加密貨幣），除了其家人唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）以外，他的家人和親密的盟友（出於在收費上游說白色房屋的明確目的），沒有其他固有的價值。

How do we know this? Because Selgas said so himself, both in a public news release and in a related filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, needed to sell bonds for this international company to invest in the Trump family coin. The CEO said its $20 million purchase would be “an effective way to advocate for fair, balanced and free trade between Mexico and the U.S.”

我們怎麼知道？因為塞爾加斯在公開新聞稿中以及向美國證券交易委員會的相關文件中都說自己，都需要向這家國際公司出售債券，以投資於特朗普家族硬幣。該首席執行官表示，其2000萬美元的購買將是“倡導墨西哥與美國之間的公平，平衡和自由貿易的有效方法”

It sure could be. The Mexican entrepreneur’s large investment in the $TRUMP coin, which features his famous “fight” gesture after last July’s assassination attempt in Butler, Pa., would seem to guarantee an invitation for Selgas to an unprecedented — and I mean that in the worst possible way — event. The president recently announced that the top 220 holders of the $TRUMP meme coin are invited to dine with him at his Virginia golf course on May 22, while the top 25 will get exclusive facetime with POTUS 47.

可以肯定。這位墨西哥企業家對$特朗普硬幣的大量投資，其特徵是他在去年7月在賓夕法尼亞州巴特勒的暗殺企圖之後的著名“戰鬥”手勢，似乎保證了塞爾加斯對前所未有的邀請 - 我的意思是說，這是最糟糕的情況。總統最近宣布，$特朗普模因硬幣的前220名持有人被邀請在5月22日的弗吉尼亞高爾夫球場與他一起用餐，而前25名將獲得Potus 47的獨家FaceTime。

So a foreign multimillionaire with $20 million to burn on a meme coin will get to personally plead his case for relief from the 25% tariff that the Trump regime imposed on Mexican goods earlier this year. An everyday American schlub who can’t afford a $25 margarita or find a doll for their daughter on a barren store shelf could never dream of such access.

因此，一位擁有2000萬美元的外國百萬富翁以燃燒模因硬幣燃燒，將親自為特朗普政權今年早些時候對墨西哥商品徵收的25％關稅的訴訟辯護。一個每天無法負擔25美元的瑪格麗塔酒或在貧瘠的商店架子上為女兒找到一個洋娃娃的美國Schlub，永遠無法夢想這種通道。

This shockingly brazen case of the Selling of the President 2025 (as watchdogged by the group Accountable.us and HuffPo’s S.V. Date) probably should have been a huge breakthrough national story but it hasn’t been, for arguably a couple of reasons.

這一令人震驚的粗暴案件是出售2025年總統（由集團callage.us和Huffpo的SV日期監視）可能應該是一個巨大的突破性國家故事，但可以說，這並不是這樣的原因。

On one hand, the $20 million windfall wasn’t the largest or most dubious foreign investment in “Trump Inc.” this week — not by a longshot. In Dubai, the Trump family cryptocurrency venture called World Liberty Financial — a separate operation from the meme coin — announced that a concern backed by the oil dictatorship of Abu Dhabi is buying $2 billion of its digital coins to complete a deal with a troubled top crypto firm that is regulated by the Trump administration.

一方面，耗資2000萬美元的意外收穫不是“特朗普公司”中最大或最可疑的外國投資。本週 - 不是長時間的。在迪拜，特朗普家族的加密貨幣稱為世界自由金融（World Liberty Financial），這是與模因硬幣的單獨行動 - 宣布，阿布扎比石油獨裁政權支持的擔憂正在購買其20億美元的數字硬幣，以完成與特朗普政府監管的陷入困境的頂級加密貨幣公司的交易。

The cofounder of World Liberty Financial — Zach Witkoff, who perhaps not so coincidentally is also the son of Trump’s surprising and inexperienced pick for Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, who deals regularly with the oligarchs of the United Arab Emirates — promised a Gulf crypto conference, “This is only the beginning.”

世界自由金融的聯合創始人扎克·維托克夫（Zach Witkoff）也許並非偶然地是特朗普令人驚訝和經驗不足的中東特使史蒂夫·維特科夫（Steve Witkoff）的兒子，他定期與阿拉伯聯合酋長國的寡頭進行了涉及墨西哥灣加密大會的寡頭，這只是開始的。 ”

But on the other hand, a massive scandal involving the web of conflict between the growing array of Trump family business ventures and his government’s dealings on tariffs, or ending the bloodshed in the Middle East, is so brazen, so public, and so large that the institutions tasked with stopping this level of graft seem overwhelmed, when not corrupted themselves. What ought to be a larger scandal than Watergate has instead been met with one large “American shrug.”

但是，另一方面，涉及涉及越來越多的特朗普家族企業企業與政府對關稅的交易或結束中東流血事件之間衝突的巨大醜聞是如此狂熱，公開，如此之大，如此龐大，以至於阻止這種嫁接水平的機構似乎不知所措，當時並沒有腐敗。應該比水門更大的醜聞遇到了一個大的“美國聳聳肩”。

Why?

為什麼？

This is the president who famously bragged during his 2016 campaign that “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?” At least metaphorically speaking, this has proved to be the truest thing Trump has ever uttered from a campaign podium. But why deal with messy bloodstains on the asphalt of Manhattan’s main shopping artery when there’s millions and possibly billions of dollars in graft to be pocketed instead.

這是總統在2016年競選中著名吹牛的總統：“我可以站在第五大道中間並射擊某人，我不會失去任何選民，好嗎？”至少從隱喻的角度來看，這被證明是特朗普在競選講台上說的最真實的事情。但是，為什麼當曼哈頓主要的購物動脈瀝青上處理凌亂的血跡，而當時有數百萬美元的嫁接可能會被袋裝而成。

The corruption of Trump’s first presidency — foreign lobbyists, out-of-town favor seekers and government-backed Secret Service agents keeping his hotels and resorts above water — was both without precedent, yet also a mild kind of spring training for what was to come with Trump 47.

特朗普第一任總統的腐敗 - 外國遊說者，偏愛的尋求者和政府支持的特勤局特工將他的酒店和度假村保持在水面之上 - 既沒有先例，又是一種溫和的春季培訓，以實現特朗普47。

The foreshadowing came early — with that $2 billion Saudi investment in son-in-law Jared Kushner’s (a key Middle East envoy during Trump 45) vague new hedge fund, and the billion-dollar rise of Trump Media, a stock that soared and confirmed Trump’s billionaire status despite the firm’s huge losses and unlikely future prospects.

預示的早期是出現的 - 沙特$ 20億美元投資於女son賈里德·庫什納（Jared Kushner）（特朗普45期間的主要中東特使）模糊了新的對沖基金，而特朗普媒體（Trump Media）的十億美元興起，這一股票飆升並確認了特朗普的億萬富翁地位，儘管公司的巨大損失和不可能的未來前景。

All that before Trump discovered crypto, which he quite rightly nailed in 2021 when he told Fox Business Channel that products like Bitcoin looked to him like “a scam,” but who in 2024 seemed to wonder why he
