特朗普的競選活動週五有爭議的指控稱總統正在利用他的辦公室來兜售加密貨幣硬幣來謀取個人利益

白宮新聞秘書周五對唐納德·特朗普總統的指控提出了質疑

President Donald Trump is being accused of using his office for personal gain, especially after he began touting a cryptocurrency meme coin and is planning to visit a region of the world that may be the site of a future Trump property.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統被指控謀取個人利益，尤其是在他開始吹捧加密貨幣模因硬幣，併計劃訪問可能是未來特朗普財產所在地的世界地區。

Trump is touting the $TRUMP meme coin, which has surged in value after the president announced earlier this week that the top 25 holders of the coin will get access to the president before a dinner at his Washington, D.C.-area golf club later this month. The top 225 holders of $TRUMP will also be able to attend the dinner.

特朗普正在吹捧$特朗普的模因硬幣，該硬幣在本週早些時候宣布，該硬幣的前25名持有人將在本月晚些時候在華盛頓特區哥倫比亞特區哥倫比亞特區高爾夫球俱樂部（DC-Area Golf Club）晚餐前與總統接觸。特朗普的前225名持有人也將能夠參加晚餐。

During her daily briefing, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked by reporter Andrew Egger of the Bulwark why Trump is planning to attend a dinner for the coin’s top investors.

在她的日常簡報中，白宮新聞秘書卡羅琳·萊維特（Karoline Leavitt）詢問了堡壘的記者安德魯·埃格（Andrew Egger），為什麼特朗普打算為硬幣的頂級投資者參加晚宴。

Leavitt claimed there is nothing untoward about the president’s involvement in the coin or his appearance at the dinner.

萊維特聲稱，總統參與硬幣或他在晚宴上的露面沒有什麼不利的。

“Look, the president is abiding by all conflict-of-interest laws. The president has been incredibly transparent with his own personal financial obligations throughout the years,” she said.

她說：“看，總統遵守所有利益衝突的法律。多年來，總統對自己的個人財務義務一直非常透明。”

“The president is a successful businessman, and, frankly, it’s one of the many reasons that people elected him back to this office.”

“總統是一位成功的商人，坦率地說，這是人們當選他回到這個辦公室的眾多原因之一。”

Egger followed up on his question, pointing out that a logistics company said it would buy $20 million worth of $TRUMP in an effort to influence the president on free trade between the United States and Mexico.

埃格（Egger）跟進了他的問題，指出一家物流公司表示，它將購買價值2000萬美元的特朗普，以影響總統美國與墨西哥之間的自由貿易。

Asked if the company was wasting its money, Leavitt said, “Look, I can assure you the president acts with only the interests of the American public in mind, putting our country first and doing what’s best for our country -- full stop. That’s his intention, and that’s what he’s focused on.”

當被問及該公司是否正在浪費錢時，Leavitt說：“看，我可以向您保證，總統只考慮到美國公眾的利益，將我們的國家放在首位，為我們的國家做最好的事情 - 全部停止。這就是他的意圖，這就是他的專注。”

The questions about Trump’s alleged self-dealing did not end there.

關於特朗普所謂的自我交易的問題並沒有結束。

Leavitt became angered after another reporter asked if Trump plans to meet with people involved in his family’s business while in the Middle East next week or whether he plans to tour sites that may be home to a future Trump resort.

在另一位記者詢問特朗普下週在中東時，還是計劃參觀可能是未來特朗普度假勝地的所在地，萊維特（Leavitt）激怒了特朗普（Trump）是否計劃與他的家人業務的人們會面。

“Not to my knowledge,” Leavitt responded, and let me just get to the premise of your question … I think it’s frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit.

“據我所知，” Leavitt回答說，讓我就您的問題的前提……我認為坦率地說，這個房間裡的任何人甚至都會暗示特朗普總統為自己的利益做任何事情。

Trump, she claimed, “left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service, not just once but twice. And again, the American public elected him back to the White House because they trust he acts in the best interest of our country and putting the American public first.

她聲稱，特朗普“留下了奢侈的生活和經營一個非常成功的房地產帝國公共服務的生活，不僅是一次，而且是兩次。而且，美國公眾再次選舉他回白宮，因為他們相信他是為了我們國家的最大利益而行事，並將美國公共公眾置於第一。

“This is a president who has actually lost money for being president of the United States.”

“這是一名總統，實際上因當美國總統而虧本。”

Meanwhile, Trump’s company and those he partnered with on the meme coin made more than $100 million on $TRUMP while holders of the coin lost $2 billion as of early February, according to a New York Times analysis.

同時，根據《紐約時報》的一項分析，特朗普的公司及其在模因硬幣上合作的公司賺了超過1億美元的特朗普，而截至2月初，硬幣持有人卻損失了20億美元。
