特朗普為$特朗普硬幣投資者舉辦晚會，對加密影響力和總統畢業作品發出警報

美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）週四晚上在他的弗吉尼亞高爾夫俱樂部舉辦了一個奢侈的晚會，為他的個人加密貨幣，$特朗普硬幣（Trump Coin），這是一種迅速成為特朗普家族及其商業合作夥伴的財務壽命。

US President Donald Trump hosted an extravagant gala Thursday evening at his Virginia golf club for top investors in his namesake cryptocurrency, $TRUMP coin. The event, described by critics as unprecedented in its brazenness, drew hundreds of guests, many from overseas, who gained access by purchasing large amounts of the memecoin.

美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）週四晚上在他的弗吉尼亞高爾夫俱樂部（Virginia Golf Club）舉辦了一個奢侈的晚會，為他的同名加密貨幣（$ trump Coin）舉辦了頂級投資者。批評家將其描述為前所未有的狂熱，吸引了數百名客人，其中許多來自海外的客人，他們通過購買大量的成員獲得了訪問權限。

Trump’s presidency has largely been defined by its close ties to the Trump family business. Though he promised to ‘drain the swamp’ of Washington D.C., Trump has instead invited guests to a cryptocurrency fundraiser cloaked in political access.

特朗普的總統任期在很大程度上是通過與特朗普家族企業的密切聯繫來定義的。儘管他答應“排幹華盛頓特區的沼澤”，但特朗普卻邀請客人參加一場加密貨幣籌款活動，以政治上的範圍掩蓋。

The gala at Trump National Golf Club offered access based on investment levels in the $TRUMP coin, with the top 220 holders attending dinner and the top 25 offered a private meeting with the president.

特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部的晚會根據$特朗普硬幣的投資水平提供了訪問權限，前220名持有人參加晚宴，前25名與總統舉行了私人會議。

Launched just days before Trump’s second inauguration, the coin has already generated over $320 million in transaction fees, a portion of which flows to the Trump family via their corporate entity CIC Digital.

該硬幣就在特朗普第二次就職典禮的前幾天就已經產生了超過3.2億美元的交易費用，其中一部分通過其公司實體CIC Digital流向了特朗普家族。

While framed by organizers as a celebration of cryptocurrency, the event served as a highly publicized opportunity for investors—some with direct business interests in US financial policy—to influence Trump’s future crypto agenda.

雖然組織者構建了對加密貨幣的慶祝活動，但該活動為投資者提供了高度宣傳的機會（有些具有美國財務政策的直接商業利益），以影響特朗普的未來加密議程。

Guests included crypto titans like Justin Sun, a Chinese billionaire known for his failed attempt to buy the U.S. bank, and executives from Korea, Taiwan, and the United Arab Emirates. Several expressed hopes of shaping regulatory changes that could favour their firms' early entry into the American market.

嘉賓包括賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun）等加密泰坦（Crypto Titans），他是一位因購買美國銀行的失敗而聞名的中國億萬富翁，以及韓國，台灣和阿拉伯聯合酋長國的高管。幾種表達了塑造監管變化的希望，這些變化可能有利於其公司的早期進入美國市場。

Outside the club, protesters waved signs reading “Stop Crypto Corruption” and “USA Is Not For Sale,” accusing Trump of blurring the lines between governance and self-enrichment. Senator Jeff Merkley, a Democrat from Oregon, denounced the event as “the crypto corruption club,” and warned it marked a new level of influence-peddling around the presidency.

在俱樂部外，抗議者揮舞著標誌著閱讀“停止加密腐敗”和“美國不出售”，指責特朗普模糊了治理和自我補充之間的界限。來自俄勒岡州的民主黨人傑夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）譴責這一事件為“加密腐敗俱樂部”，並警告它標誌著總統職位的新影響力。

Inside, Trump touted his support for the crypto industry and promised to reverse Biden-era regulations that he claimed had “made your lives miserable.” In a video captured at the event, Trump said, “There’s a lot of common sense in crypto. We’re honored to be working on helping everybody here.”

在內部，特朗普吹捧他對加密貨幣產業的支持，並承諾扭轉拜登時代的法規，他聲稱“使您的生活痛苦不堪”。在活動中捕獲的視頻中，特朗普說：“加密貨幣有很多常識。我們很榮幸能夠幫助這裡的每個人。”

The Trump administration denied that the event represented an ethical breach. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed concerns, saying: “It’s absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off of the presidency.”

特朗普政府否認該事件代表了道德違規。白宮新聞秘書卡羅琳·萊維特（Karoline Leavitt）駁回了擔憂，他說：“任何人都暗示這位總統正在從總統任職中獲利是荒謬的。”

This gala is part of a broader trend in Trump’s second term. In recent months, his family has closed real estate deals with foreign governments, partnered with crypto entities to raise billions, and held sponsored events at Trump-owned properties.

這個晚會是特朗普第二任期的更廣泛趨勢的一部分。近幾個月來，他的家人與外國政府結束了房地產交易，與加密貨幣實體合作以籌集數十億美元，並在特朗普擁有的財產中舉行了贊助活動。

Critics argue these deals show a disregard for long-held norms that presidents avoid direct profit while in office. Even Trump’s sons have begun to publicly reject the idea that they should place any limits on business dealings while serving in or around government.

批評者認為，這些交易表明無視長期以來的規範，總統在任職期間避免了直接利潤。甚至特朗普的兒子也開始公開拒絕這樣的想法，即他們在政府中或周圍的商業往來都應對業務往來施加任何限制。

“We’re going to play the game,” Donald Trump Jr. said during a recent appearance in Qatar.

Though the Trump Organization claims it is not involved in the memecoin dinner, it owns the venue and profits from every $TRUMP coin transaction. The event was organized by Fight, Fight, Fight—a company tied to Trump’s longtime partner Bill Zanker—and originally promised guests a White House tour, a reference later scrubbed from the website.

儘管特朗普組織聲稱它沒有參與Memecoin晚宴，但它擁有每筆特朗普硬幣交易的場地和利潤。該活動是通過戰鬥，戰鬥，戰鬥組織的，這是一家與特朗普的長期合作夥伴比爾·扎克（Bill Zanker）聯繫在一起的公司，並最初向客人保證了白宮巡迴演出，後來參考了該網站。

Legal and ethical experts warn that the mingling of foreign investment, crypto policy, and presidential access raises troubling questions under campaign finance laws and anti-corruption standards. Whether any formal investigation follows remains to be seen.

法律和道德專家警告說，外國投資，加密政策和總統訪問的融合會在競選財務法和反腐敗標準下提出令人困擾的問題。是否有任何正式調查還有待觀察。
