比特币传教士唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）颠覆了联邦政府对加密货币的立场

Early in 2024, David Bailey, a longtime Bitcoin investor and evangelist, began tempering expectations when he first pitched Donald Trump’s campaign on the political upside of embracing cryptocurrency.

2024年初，长期的比特币投资者和传教士戴维·贝利（David Bailey）首次将唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的竞选活动推出了拥抱加密货币的政治上行空间时，开始了人们的期望。

Even after Trump pledged over the summer to make the U.S. a Bitcoin haven and the industry spent tens of millions of dollars supporting his presidential bid, Bailey suspected Trump’s overture might be a fleeting appeal for crypto voters rather than a lasting commitment.

即使在夏季特朗普承诺使美国成为比特币避风港，并且该行业花费了数千万美元来支持他的总统竞标，贝利怀疑特朗普的序幕可能是对加密选民的短暂呼吁，而不是持久的承诺。

Yet since returning to office, Trump has upended the federal government’s wary stance toward cryptocurrency just as he said he would. Earlier this month, he signed an executive order directing the Federal Reserve to hold Bitcoin alongside gold—a move long sought by crypto advocates and once considered improbable.

然而，自从返回任职以来，特朗普已经颠覆了联邦政府对加密货币的警惕立场，就像他说的那样。本月初，他签署了一项行政命令，指示美联储与黄金一起持有比特币 - 这是加密货币倡导者长期以来一直在寻求的行动，曾经被认为是不可能的。

“If a year ago you put me into hypnosis and said, ‘Describe to me your deepest dreams of what could happen,’ this would be straight-up fantasy,” said Bailey, who owns the Bitcoin conference where Trump first stepped out as a pro-crypto candidate. “I never would have believed it could happen.”

贝利说：“如果一年前你让我催眠，并说：'向我描述您对可能发生的事情的最深层梦想，那将是直接的幻想。”贝利说，他拥有比特币会议，特朗普首先成为亲克莱托普候选人。 “我永远不会相信它会发生。”

Trump’s return to power was achieved in part through an unorthodox coalition-building strategy. He courted groups who might’ve been overlooked by Republican candidates, like Bitcoin enthusiasts, making direct appeals with policy promises tailored to specific audiences.

特朗普的恢复权力是通过非传统的联盟建设策略来部分实现的。他向可能被比特币爱好者等共和党候选人所忽视的团体宣告，对针对特定受众量身定制的政策承诺直接上诉。

For those who played along, the rewards have come swiftly.

对于那些一起玩的人来说，奖励迅速出现。

The Lumbee Tribe in North Carolina, for instance, had reliably voted Democratic in presidential elections for decades. But an eight-year pursuit by Trump for the battleground state’s predominant native group — culminating with his promise last fall to grant the tribe much-coveted federal recognition — appeared to resonate at the ballot box. In Lumbee-rich Robeson County, where Barack Obama twice won handily, Trump secured a 28-point victory, his largest margin across three races.

例如，北卡罗来纳州的伦贝部落数十年来在总统大选中可靠地投票。但是，特朗普为战场州的主要土著群体进行了为期八年的追求 - 最终以他去年秋天授予部落备受争议的联邦认可的诺言似乎在投票箱中引起了共鸣。在巴拉克·奥巴马（Barack Obama）两次赢得的宽大鲁米·罗伯森县（Lumbee-Rich Robeson County），特朗普取得了28分的胜利，这是他在三场比赛中最大的利润。

Three days after taking office, Trump signed a memorandum declaring it U.S. policy “to support the full federal recognition” of the Lumbee Tribe, the strongest statement to date from the Oval Office.

上任三天后，特朗普签署了一份备忘录，宣布美国政策“支持对Lumbee部落的全面认可”，这是迄今为止椭圆形办公室的最强有力的声明。

Transactional? Perhaps, but that’s politics, said Lumbee Tribe Chairman John Lowery, who told CNN, “It feels good to be courted.”

交易？ Lumbee部落主席约翰·洛里（John Lowery）说，也许是政治，他告诉美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）：“被求爱感觉很好。”

“Everyone is in their lane and they’re not going to get out of it. You’re either hardcore this or that,” Lowery said. “We are hardcore for those who are showing the effort and putting in the work to get our vote. And we have a tendency to reward that more than any ideological view. There’s something about good old retail politics. Trump has done that on this issue.”

Lowery说：“每个人都在他们的车道上，他们不会摆脱它。您要么是硬核。” “对于那些表现出努力并投入投票的人来说，我们是铁杆。我们倾向于奖励比任何意识形态上的观点更具奖励。关于良好的旧零售政治有些事情。特朗普在这个问题上做到了这一点。”

Trump’s unconventional approach extended to union workers, a longtime Democratic stronghold. Amid the outreach, and with many of his members increasingly leaning toward Trump, Teamsters President Sean O’Brien stunned Democrats by delivering a primetime address at the Republican National Convention (getting a lukewarm response from the GOP audience). Later, the union withheld an endorsement in the presidential race for the first time in decades, a considerable blow to the Democratic ticket.

特朗普的非常规的方法扩展到了长期以来的民主堡垒工会工人。在宣传中，随着他的许多成员越来越倾向于特朗普，团队合作者总统肖恩·奥布赖恩（Sean O'Brien）在共和党全国代表大会上发表了黄金时段的演讲（从共和党的听众那里得到不冷不热的回应）。后来，工会在数十年来首次撤销了总统竞选的认可，这对民主党票来说是相当大的打击。

The strategy paid off for Trump: He won 45 percent of the vote from union households, according to a CNN exit poll, a striking watermark for a GOP candidate.

该策略为特朗普带来了回报：根据CNN出口民意测验，他从工会家庭获得了45％的投票，这是共和党候选人的惊人水印。

For O’Brien, the calculated risk proved worthwhile during a Nov. 21 visit to Mar-a-Lago, where he advocated for Lori Chavez-DeRemer, then a Republican lawmaker from Oregon, to lead the Department of Labor. After three hours of intense discussions, Trump agreed to nominate Chavez-DeRemer and, most critically, vowed not to relent in face of expected pushback from business groups who saw her as too sympathetic to unions, O’Brien told CNN. The next day, his transition team announced Chavez-DeRemer as his pick for Secretary of Labor and she was confirmed earlier this month.

对于奥布莱恩（O'Brien），在11月21日访问Mar-a-Lago中，计算出的风险被证明是值得的，他主张洛里·查韦斯·德雷默（Lori Chavez-Deremer），当时是俄勒冈州的共和党议员，领导劳工部。经过三个小时的激烈讨论，特朗普同意提名查韦斯 - 德雷曼（Chavez-Deremer），最重要的是，面对企业团体的预期推回，他们认为她对工会太同情。第二天，他的过渡小组宣布查韦斯·德雷曼（Chavez-Deremer）担任劳工部长的选择，并于本月初得到证实。

The episode solidified the Teamsters as “one of the most influential unions in the country,” O’Brien said.

奥布莱恩说，这一集巩固了车队的“该国最有影响力的工会之一”。

“We know we got criticized by our peers in organized labor, but we’ve watched our organization do the same thing every single campaign and expect a different result. We didn’t want to take that approach.”

“我们知道我们受到有组织劳动的同龄人的批评，但是我们已经看着我们的组织在每个活动中都做同样的事情，并期望有不同的结果。我们不想采取这种方法。”

Trump’s early efforts to appease key constituencies comes as his political operation is already plotting how to motivate his unconventional coalition to show up for Republicans in next year’s midterm elections. While some in Trump’s movement have predicted a more permanent political realignment is in the offing, the White House remains concerned that the president’s appeal to certain groups may not translate to GOP congressional candidates.

特朗普为安抚关键选区的早期努力是因为他的政治行动已经在策划如何激励他非常规联盟在明年的中期选举中出现共和党人。尽管特朗普运动中的一些人预言了更永久的政治重组，但白宫仍然担心总统对某些团体的呼吁可能不会转化为共和党国会候选人。

It’s unclear, for example, whether Libertarian voters and supporters of ex-presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can be convinced Trump needs to keep Republican majorities in Congress, a White House official told CNN. Trump appealed to both groups during the campaign — a calculation his political team made early after watching the Libertarian candidate siphon votes from him in 2020.

白宫官员告诉美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）一位白宫官员告诉美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）一位白宫官员告诉美国有线电视新闻网（CNN），目前尚不清楚，前总统候选人罗伯特·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.特朗普在竞选期间呼吁这两个团体 - 他的政治团队在观看自由主义者候选人虹吸管在2020年投票后提早进行了计算。
