在被称为历史上最奢侈的政治跨越的跨界之一中，唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）主持了黑领带晚餐

In a lavish event that has sparked serious legal and ethical questions, former President Donald Trump hosted a black-tie dinner for top investors of the $TRUMP meme coin at his Virginia golf club on Thursday.

在一次引发严重法律和道德问题的豪华活动中，前总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）周四在他的弗吉尼亚高尔夫俱乐部（Virginia Golf Club）为$ trump Meme Coin的顶级投资者举办了黑领带晚宴。

The gala, which brought together 220 investors who collectively spent an estimated $148 million to secure their seats, was a blend of high finance and political spectacle. It also saw the presidential seal used during an address, contradicting claims the event was on Trump’s personal time.

该晚会汇集了220名投资者，他们共同花费了1.48亿美元来确保自己的席位，这融合了高金融和政治奇观。它还看到了在讲话中使用的总统印章，这与特朗普个人时期的说法相矛盾。

According to U.S. law, the presidential seal cannot be used in a way that implies government endorsement or is leveraged for personal gain. Violations could result in fines or up to six months in jail.

根据美国法律，总统印章不能以暗示政府认可或为个人利益而使用的方式使用。违规行为可能导致罚款或最多六个月的监禁。

“The use of the presidential seal at a crypto fundraiser raises serious ethical and legal questions,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), who called the dinner “an unprecedented pay-to-play scheme.”

参议员Richard Blumenthal（D-CT）说：“在加密筹款活动中使用总统​​印章提出了严重的道德和法律问题。

The gala at Trump National Golf Club on May 22 was a hot topic among lawmakers this week, with some raising concerns over foreign influence and emoluments.

5月22日，特朗普国家高尔夫俱乐部举行的晚会是本周立法者中的一个热门话题，对外国影响力和埃默尔（Emoluments）引起了一些担忧。

Altogether, 35 House Democrats penned a letter to the Justice Department urging an investigation into whether foreign nationals — including major investors like China-born crypto mogul Justin Sun — had contributed to the event or were granted special access.

总之，有35名众议院民主党人写信给司法部，敦促调查外国国民 - 包括出生于中国的加密货币大亨贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun）等主要投资者 - 为这次活动做出了贡献，还是被授予了特殊机会。

U.S. law prohibits foreign entities from contributing to political campaigns or influencing domestic elections.

美国法律禁止外国实体为政治运动做出贡献或影响国内选举。

Sun, who was the largest known investor in the $TRUMP token with holdings exceeding $18 million, received a $100,000 limited-edition Trump Tourbillon watch during the event.

孙是特朗普代币中最大的知名投资者，其股份超过1800万美元，在活动期间获得了100,000美元的限量版特朗普·杜比隆（Trump Tourbillon）手表。

Despite facing previous fraud allegations from the SEC — now paused — Sun shared his appreciation on X, stating he was “grateful for the invitation.”

尽管面临SEC的先前欺诈指控（现已停止），太阳对X表示赞赏，并表示“感谢邀请”。

Trump: ‘We’re Bringing Crypto Back to the USA’

特朗普：“我们正在将加密货币带回美国”

During his remarks at the gala, Trump framed the event as part of a broader effort to support cryptocurrency innovation in the United States.

特朗普在庆典上的讲话中，作为支持美国加密货币创新的更广泛努力的一部分。

“I always put the country way ahead of the business,” Trump told the cheering audience. “The Biden Administration persecuted crypto innovators — we’re bringing them back into the USA where they belong.”

特朗普对欢呼的观众说：“我总是将国家领先于业务。” “拜登政府迫害了加密创新者 - 我们将他们带回了他们所属的美国。”

Videos from the gala show Trump arriving via Marine One and delivering a speech filled with trademark bravado, touting his 2024 re-election victory and attacking Vice President Kamala Harris’s border policies.

晚会节目特朗普的视频通过海军陆战队（Marine One）到达，并发表了充满商标Bravado的演讲，吹捧他的2024年连任胜利，并攻击副总统卡马拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris）的边境政策。

“We have the strongest border ever,” he declared. “We took a border that was like an open sieve and made it strong.”

他宣称：“我们拥有有史以来最强的边界。” “我们占据了一个像露天的边界，使其变得坚强。”

Despite his fiery rhetoric, Trump kept a professional distance during the event. As attendee Christoph Heuermann posted, “Even VIP token holders couldn’t speak or shake hands with the president. It was still worth it to experience him live.”

尽管他的言论激烈，但特朗普在活动期间保持了专业距离。正如与会者克里斯托夫·休曼（Christoph Heuermann）发表的那样：“即使是VIP代币持有者也无法与总统说话或握手。

Who Attended the $TRUMP Memecoin Dinner?

谁参加了$ trump Memecoin晚餐？

The invite-only dinner was marketed as a reward for the largest holders of the $TRUMP token. Guests had to pass background checks and arrived to a red-carpet experience featuring signs of Trump with slogans like “Fight, Fight, Fight.”

仅邀请晚餐是为$特朗普代币的最大持有人销售的。客人不得不通过背景调查，并获得了红色的教室体验，其中包含特朗普的迹象，上面写着“战斗，战斗，战斗”等口号。

Attendees included a diverse mix of global crypto professionals — from exchange executives to fund managers. Former NBA player Lamar Odom also made an appearance, although he was met with scattered boos.

与会者包括全球加密专业人员的各种组合 - 从交流主管到资助经理。前NBA球员拉马尔·奥多姆（Lamar Odom）也出现了，尽管他遇到了散落的嘘声。

Some investors, like marketing executive Nick Pinto, reportedly spent over $500,000 on $TRUMP tokens to qualify for the dinner.

据报道，一些投资者，例如市场营销主管尼克·平托（Nick Pinto），在特朗普代币上花费了超过500,000美元来参加晚宴。

The top 25 investors enjoyed a private VIP reception with the president before the main event, while blockchain firm Inca Digital reported that their collective contribution exceeded $111 million.

在主赛事之前，前25名投资者在总统享受了私人VIP接待，而区块链公司Inca Digital报告说，他们的集体捐款超过1.11亿美元。

Still, despite the opulence, not everyone left impressed. One attendee told CNBC that the food “sucked” and claimed event security was surprisingly “lax.”

尽管如此，尽管富裕，但并不是每个人都留下深刻的印象。一位与会者告诉CNBC，食物“很烂”，声称事件安全是“宽松”。

The Money Behind the Meme

模因背后的钱

According to Chainalysis, a company controlled by the Trump family — along with a partner firm — holds 80% of the $TRUMP coin’s remaining supply. The two entities have reportedly earned over $320 million in Trump-branded crypto ventures, with more than $1.3 million generated just after the dinner announcement.

根据Chainalysis，由特朗普家族控制的一家公司以及一家合作伙伴公司持有$特朗普硬币剩余的供应量的80％。据报道，这两个实体在宣布晚餐后产生了超过130万美元的特朗普品牌的加密货币投资公司超过3.2亿美元。

Critics argue this demonstrates a direct financial link between Trump’s political brand and his crypto endeavors — a connection that could further blur ethical lines.

批评者认为，这表明特朗普的政治品牌与他的加密货币努力之间存在直接的财务联系，这种联系可能会进一步模糊道德路线。

But White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt rejected that narrative.

但是白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特（Karoline Leavitt）拒绝了这种叙述。

“All of the president’s assets are in a blind trust, managed by his children,” she said. “It’s absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off the presidency.”

她说：“总统的所有资产都是盲目的信托，由他的孩子管理。” “任何人都暗示这位总统正在从总统任职中获利是荒谬的。”

Leavitt also clarified that the event was not an official government function, emphasizing, “It ain’t happening at the White House.”

Leavitt还澄清说，这次活动不是政府的官方职能，强调：“白宫不会发生。”

$TRUMP Price Drops as Protesters Gather

当抗议者聚集时，特朗普的价格下降了

Ironically, just hours after the high-profile gala concluded, the $TRUMP coin’s price dropped by 16%, reflecting the volatility often associated with meme coins. Protesters gathered outside the venue with signs reading, “America is not for sale” and “Stop crypto corruption.”

具有讽刺意味的是，在备受瞩目的晚会结束后的几个小时后，特朗普硬币的价格下降了16％，反映了经常与模因硬币相关的波动性。抗议者在会场外面录制了“美国不出售”和“停止加密腐败”的迹象。
