腐败并不总是很容易发现，但是对于唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump），他的批评家声称它隐藏起来。

他称为$特朗普的加密货币已经筹集了数亿美元的家人。投资者用真实的货币付款，并给予代币

Corruption isn’t always easy to spot, but with Donald Trump, his critics claim it is nearly impossible to miss.

腐败并不总是很容易发现，但是对于唐纳德·特朗普来说，他的批评者声称几乎不可能错过。

The president's crypto coin, $TRUMP, has raised his family hundreds of millions of dollars.

总统的加密硬币（特朗普$）筹集了数亿美元。

Investors pay into the scheme with real currency and in return are given the tokens, which are not underpinned by any asset. In essence, they are worthless, like many of the other so-called "meme coins," which mimic more established cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin.

投资者用真实的货币向该计划付款，并给予代币，这些代币并未受到任何资产的支持。从本质上讲，它们像其他许多所谓的“模因硬币”一样，它们是一文不值的，它们模仿了比特币等更具成熟的加密货币。

However, in Trump’s case, the meme coins have given the purchaser one fundamental benefit. For those who invested huge sums of money, last night saw the reward - a gala dinner to meet the president.

但是，在特朗普的情况下，模因硬币给了购买者一个基本利益。对于那些投资巨额资金的人来说，昨晚看到了奖励 - 盛大的晚宴与总统见面。

As large SUVs pulled up to Trump’s Virginia golf course, they were met by dozens of protesters chanting “shame, shame, shame”.

当大型SUV驶向特朗普的弗吉尼亚高尔夫球场时，数十名抗议者高呼“羞耻，羞耻，羞耻”。

Many attendees laughed at the protesters, as they continued to chant "America is not for sale"!

许多与会者嘲笑抗议者，因为他们继续喊着“美国不出售”！

This was the kind of event that only the Trump era could produce.

这是只有特朗普时代才能产生的事件。

Trump threatens 50% tariffs on EU goods and 25% on Apple iPhones

特朗普威胁要对欧盟商品的关税50％，苹果iPhone威胁25％

Is this the biggest sign yet Donald Trump could push for a third term?

这是唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）可以推动第三任期的最大信号吗？

The president's controversial dinner on Thursday night saw the auctioning off of $TRUMP with the highest-paying customer securing a place at the table with the president.

总统在周四晚上举行的有争议的晚宴看到了特朗普的拍卖，而薪水最高的顾客则与总统确保了一席之地。

The top 220 buyers would dine with Trump at his golf club, while the top 25 would attend a more intimate gathering with the president before dinner and go on a tour of the White House.

前220名买家将在他的高尔夫俱乐部与特朗普一起用餐，而前25名将在晚餐前与总统参加更亲密的聚会，并参观白宫。

“The past administration made your lives miserable,” Trump told the dinner guests. “They were going after everybody. It was a disgrace, frankly,” he said.

特朗普对晚餐客人说：“过去的政府使您的生活痛苦不堪。”他说：“他们正在追捕所有人。坦率地说，这是一种耻辱。”

The arrival of hundreds of guests, many from overseas, turned it into a striking spectacle — a symbol to the world that America is serious about the cryptocurrency industry.

数百名客人的到来，许多来自海外的客人都变成了惊人的景象，这是世界对加密货币行业认真的象征。

“There is a lot of sense in crypto. A lot of common sense in crypto,” President Trump said. “And we’re honored to be working on helping everybody here.”

特朗普总统说：“加密有很多意义。加密货币中有很多常识。” “我们很荣幸能够帮助这里的每个人。”

This new form of largesse is perhaps an attempt to circumvent laws which ban the president from receiving foreign gifts without Congressional consent.

这种新形式的慷慨可能是试图规避法律，禁止总统未经国会同意而获得外国礼物。

Some Democrats have slammed the scheme as "pay-to-play," providing access to the president to whoever bought the largest number of his crypto-coins. The White House has vehemently denied that this is corrupt, deriding such accusations as "absurd."

一些民主党人将该计划猛烈抨击为“付费游戏”，为购买最多的加密货币人数的人提供了与总统的访问权。白宫强烈否认这是腐败的，涉及“荒谬”之类的指控。

In total, investors spent an estimated $148 million US on the $TRUMP meme coin to secure their seats at the dinner, with the top-25 holders spending more than $111 million, according to crypto intelligence firm Inca Digital.

据加密智能公司Inca Digital称，投资者总共花费了大约1.48亿美元的美国模因硬币上的$ 1.48亿美元，以确保他们在晚宴上获得席位，而前25名持有人的支出超过1.11亿美元。

As protesters chanted on, Senator Jeff Merkley joined the group, shouting out against the corruption.

当抗议者高呼时，参议员杰夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）加入了该组织，大喊反对腐败。

"The president is inviting people to buy his crypto coin, put money in his own pocket, and get access to the US government and influence on our policies," he told ITV News.

他告诉ITV新闻说：“总统正在邀请人们购买他的加密硬币，将钱放在口袋里，并获得美国政府并对我们的政策产生影响。”

"We've never seen this level of corruption before. The government should never be up for sale, and we want to put an end to it."

“我们以前从未见过这种腐败水平。政府绝不应该出售，我们想结束它。”

Among those spotted arriving at the event were Lamar Odom known for playing in the NBA and appearing in "Keeping Up With the Kardashians", cryptocurrency mogul Justin Sun, and Kendall Davis, an Austin-based cryptocurrency investor, who told ITV News that he "came here to advocate for things to be done right in the crypto space."

在参加活动的那些人中，有Lamar Odom以在NBA比赛而闻名，并出现在“跟上Kardashians”，Cryptocurrency Mogul Justin Sun和Kendall Davis（总部位于奥斯汀的加密货币投资者）中，他告诉ITV新闻，他“告诉他在这里倡导在这里为Crypto Space Progy Pose pose of Crypto Space的事件。”

Davis sparred with protesters outside, disputing their claim that he blindly supports Trump or endorses his policies.

戴维斯（Davis）与外面的抗议者争吵，并提出了他们盲目支持特朗普或认可其政策的说法。

Davis, a young Black cryptocurrency investor who once experienced homelessness, credited the industry with making him a multimillionaire. He described the event as a rare, once-in-a-lifetime chance to share a meal with a sitting president.

戴维斯（Davis）是一位年轻的黑人加密货币投资者，他曾经经历过无家可归的人，他认为该行业是千万富翁。他将这项活动描述为与现任总统分享一顿饭的罕见，千载难逢的机会。

Sun took the no 1 spot in the dinner contest with his $18.5 million US wallet and is also an adviser to World Liberty Financial.

Sun与他的1,850万美元的美国钱包一起在晚宴比赛中排名第一，也是World Liberty Financial的顾问。

He saw a 2023 fraud case brought by the US Securities and Exchange Commission dropped by the agency in February.

他看到该机构于2月撤销了美国证券交易委员会提起的一件2023年欺诈案。

Trump’s embrace of cryptocurrency is a sharp reversal from a few years ago, when he would often take to social media to revile the industry.

特朗普对加密货币的拥抱是几年前的急剧逆转，届时他经常去社交媒体来恢复行业。

“I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air,” he said in a series of social media posts in 2019 while in office.

他在2019年在任职期间的一系列社交媒体帖子中说：“我不喜欢比特币和其他加密货币的粉丝，其价值高度波动且基于稀薄的空气。”

The contest was set up by a company called Fight, Fight, Fight, which was created in January and is named after Trump’s response to the assassination attempt against him in July.

比赛是由一家名为“战斗，战斗，战斗”的公司成立的，该公司于一月份成立，并以特朗普对7月对他的暗杀企图的回应而命名。

The Trump family itself, through a corporate entity called CIC Digital, takes a cut of the profits, and it also owns the golf club where the dinner was held.

特朗普家族本身通过一个名为CIC Digital的公司实体削减了利润，它还拥有举行晚餐的高尔夫俱乐部。

The website associated with the coin has a disclaimer saying “Trump Memes are intended to function as an
