特朗普針對籌款平台Actblue，為民主運動提供動力

總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）將於週四簽署總統備忘錄，以ACTBLUE為目標，Actblue是為民主運動和事業提供動力的籌款平台。這是特朗普對政治反對的最新嘗試。

President Donald Trump is set to sign a presidential memorandum Thursday targeting ActBlue, the fundraising platform that powers Democratic campaigns and causes. This is Trump’s latest attempt to neuter political opposition.

總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）將於週四簽署總統備忘錄，以ACTBLUE為目標，Actblue是為民主運動和事業提供動力的籌款平台。這是特朗普對政治反對的最新嘗試。

It's unclear exactly what the memorandum will do, but according to Politico, it claims that ActBlue accepts foreign contributions—which the platform vehemently denies.

目前尚不清楚備忘錄將做什麼，但是根據Politico的說法，它聲稱Actblue接受了外國捐款，該平台強烈否認了。

Of course, Trump himself has been hit with allegations of accepting Russian bribes. In fact, a political consultant who worked for Great America PAC, which backed Trump’s 2016 campaign, was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2023 for illegally accepting Russian contributions.

當然，特朗普本人受到接受俄羅斯賄賂的指控。實際上，支持特朗普2016年競選活動的大美國PAC的政治顧問因非法接受俄羅斯的捐款而在2023年被判處18個月監禁。

What’s more, Trump is currently taking in millions from cryptocurrency investors, who are buying his meme coin for a chance to meet with Trump. It’s a blatantly corrupt pay-to-play effort, in which foreigners could be personally funneling money to Trump.

更重要的是，特朗普目前正在從加密貨幣投資者那裡吸收數百萬美元，他們正在購買他的模因硬幣，以便有機會與特朗普見面。這是一項公然腐敗的付費努力，外國人可以親自向特朗普籌集資金。

“The Trump coin scam is the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done. Not close,” Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut wrote on X.

康涅狄格州的民主黨參議員克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）在X上寫道：“特朗普硬幣騙局是總統所做的最腐敗的事情。”

Similarly, Massachusetts Democrats Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Jake Auchincloss joined together to demand an investigation into Trump’s meme coin, though it’s unlikely that the Department of Justice run by the nakedly partisan Pam Bondi would actually prosecute.

同樣，馬薩諸塞州民主黨人參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）和眾議員傑克·奧欽克洛斯（Jake Auchincloss）一起要求對特朗普的模因硬幣進行調查，儘管不太可能由傑出的黨派帕姆·邦迪（Partisan Pambondi）經營的司法部實際上會起訴。

“Anyone, including the leaders of hostile nations, can covertly buy these coins, raising the specter of uninhibited and untraceable foreign influence over the President of the United States, all while President Trump’s supporters are left to shoulder the risk of investing in $TRUMP and $MELANIA,” they wrote in a letter in January.

“任何人，包括敵對國家的領導人，都可以秘密地購買這些硬幣，從而提高對美國總統的不受抑制和不可追踪的外國影響的幽靈，而特朗普總統的支持者則承擔著投資特朗普和$梅拉尼亞的風險，”他們在一月份的一封信中寫道。

And while ActBlue is being targeted by Trump’s memorandum, the Republican fundraising platform WinRed will seemingly go unscathed, despite its many actual issues—including coming under fire after the 2020 election for tricking people into unknowingly making recurrent donations to Trump’s campaign.

儘管特朗普的備忘錄將Actblue作為目標，但共和黨的籌款平台似乎毫髮無損，儘管它的許多實際問題 - 包括在2020年大選後因欺騙人們而不知不覺地向特朗普的競選活動進行反复捐款而受到抨擊。

But this despotic attack against what Trump deems a “political enemy” is nothing new.

但是，這種對特朗普認為是“政治敵人”的專制攻擊並不是什麼新鮮事。

For example, Trump has stripped Big Law firms of their security clearances and government contracts because they employed lawyers who have investigated him or have sued to block Trump’s illegal actions. As a result, firms have halted pro bono work that might anger Trump.

例如，特朗普剝奪了大型律師事務所的安全許可和政府合同，因為他們僱用了調查他或起訴阻止特朗普非法行動的律師。結果，公司停止了可能激怒特朗普的無償工作。

ActBlue raises massive amounts of money for Democrats and Democratic causes, taking in nearly $500 million in 2025 alone. And its lawyers have been gearing up for a fight against Trump.

Actblue為民主黨和民主事業籌集了大量資金，僅在2025年就賺了近5億美元。它的律師一直在為與特朗普作鬥爭。

“Every one of our clients is concerned about being arbitrarily targeted by the Trump administration. We are going to great lengths to help clients prepare for or defend themselves,” said Ezra Reese, political law chair at Elias Law Group, which represents many Democrats and Democratic organizations.

“我們的每個客戶都關心特朗普政府任意目標。我們將竭盡全力幫助客戶為自己做準備或捍衛自己。”代表許多民主黨和民主組織的Elias Law Group的政治法律組織Ezra Reese說。

And ActBlue says that it will not be scared into submission by Trump's bullying.

Actblue說，特朗普的欺凌行為不會害怕屈服。

"Nothing will deter or interrupt ActBlue’s mission and work to enable millions of Americans to participate in our democracy," ActBlue President and CEO Regina Wallace-Jones wrote in an email to Democrats.

Actblue總裁兼首席執行官Regina Wallace-Jones在給民主黨的電子郵件中寫道：“沒有什麼能阻止或打斷Actblue的使命，並努力使數百萬美國人參與我們的民主國家。”

"There is an ongoing and persistent effort to weaken the confidence of the American people in what’s possible,” she added. “This is the next version of ‘the big lie.’"

她補充說：“持續不斷的努力削弱了美國人民的信心。” “這是“大謊言”的下一個版本。”
