特朗普從$特朗普的模因硬幣中獲利了嗎？

NBC的克里斯汀·韋爾克（Kristen Welker）與總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）面對他是否正在獲利

In a portion of their extended Meet the Press interview being posted exclusively online, NBC's Kristen Welker pressed President Donald Trump on reports that he's profiting personally from a Trump meme coin.

在他們擴展的一部分會議上，新聞訪談僅在線發布，NBC的克里斯汀·韋爾克（Kristen Welker）向總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）敦促他從特朗普模因硬幣中親自獲利。

The coin, which is named after the former president, has surged in recent months—especially after Trump agreed to host a private dinner with the top 220 holders of the coin. Following the announcement, the coin's value went as high as $14.32, a 58% increase from its previous low. (It currently trades at just under $11.)

這枚硬幣以前總統的名字命名，最近幾個月猛增 - 尤其是在特朗普同意與硬幣前220名持有人舉辦私人晚餐之後。宣布這一消息後，硬幣的價值高達14.32美元，比以前的低點增加了58％。 （目前，它的交易價格不到11美元。）

A left-leaning advocacy group called State Democracy Defenders Action estimated Trump's crypto holdings to be worth approximately $2.9 billion. And ethics watchdogs were up in arms about the dinner announcement—with numerous Democratic senators demanding a probe into what they allege is a "pay to play" scheme.

一個名為州民主捍衛者行動的左傾倡導組織估計特朗普的加密貨幣持有人數約為29億美元。道德監管機構對晚餐宣布的態度充滿了興趣 - 許多民主黨參議員要求對他們所稱的“付費競爭”計劃進行調查。

"What do you say to those who … worry you're profoping from the presidency?" Welker asked Trump.

“你對那些……擔心你是從總統求職的人怎麼說？”韋爾克問特朗普。

"I'm not profiting from anything," Trump replied. "All I'm doing is, I started this long before the election. I want crypto. I think crypto's important because if we don't do it, China's going to. And it's new, it's very popular, it's very hot. If you look at the market, when the market went down, that stayed much stronger than other aspects of the market. But I want crypto because a lot of people, you know, millions of people want it."

特朗普回答：“我沒有從任何東西中獲利。” “我要做的是，我開始大選之前就開始了。我想加密。我認為加密貨幣很重要，因為如果我們不這樣做，中國會做的。而且它很新。它非常受歡迎，它很熱門，它很熱。如果您在市場上看市場，當市場下降時，那比市場上的其他方面都要強大。但是我想要加油的人，因為我知道人們，你們都知道很多人，你們都需要很多人。

Asked by Welker whether he's cashing in on the meme coin, Trump replied: "I haven't even looked."

韋爾克問他是否正在兌現模因硬幣時，特朗普回答：“我什至沒有看。”

"So you're not profiting off of the cryptocurrency at all?" Welker pressed.

“因此，您根本沒有從加密貨幣中獲利嗎？”韋爾克按下。

"No. I never thought of that," Trump said. "I mean, should I contribute all of my real estate that I've owned for many years if it goes up a little bit because I'm president and doing a good job? I don't think so."

特朗普說：“不。我從未想過。” “我的意思是，如果我總統並做好工作，我應該貢獻我多年來擁有多年的所有房地產嗎？我不這麼認為。”

As for whether he'd surrender any crypto cash to the government, Trump said he'd consider it.

至於他是否會向政府投降任何加密現金，特朗普說他會考慮的。

"I never thought of that," Trump said. "I mean, should I contribute all of my real estate that I've owned for many years if it goes up a little bit because I'm president and doing a good job? I don't think so."

特朗普說：“我從沒想過。” “我的意思是，如果我總統並做好工作，我應該貢獻我多年來擁有多年的所有房地產嗎？我不這麼認為。”
