唐纳德·特朗普总统与富人参加了大量的黑带晚餐

President Donald Trump will be attending a black tie dinner with 220 wealthy investors at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia, on May 22. The dinner is a reward for the investors who made the leaderboard in a contest to be among the top purchasers of the $TRUMP meme coin, a type of cryptocurrency.

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统将于5月22日在他位于弗吉尼亚州斯特林的高尔夫俱乐部的220个富裕投资者参加黑色领带晚宴。这次晚餐是对在比赛中成为$ $ TRAVS MEME COIN的顶级购买者（一种加密货币）中排行榜的投资者的奖励。

The dinner is being protested by Democrats and ethics experts, who say it provides a way for the wealthy to influence the president by funneling money to his business. An affiliate of The Trump Organization and the company Fight Fight Fight LLC own 80% of the meme coins, according to the cryptocurrency’s website.

民主党和道德专家正在抗议晚餐，他们说这为富人提供了一种通过向他的业务汇款来影响总统的方式。根据加密货币网站的说法，特朗普组织和公司的分支机构拥有模因硬币的80％。

"This is one of the most blatant and appalling instances of selling access to the presidency I've ever seen," said Donald Sherman, executive director and chief counsel of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

华盛顿的执行董事兼首席顾问唐纳德·谢尔曼（Donald Sherman）表示：“这是出售我见过的总统职位的最公然，最令人震惊的实例之一。”

"President Trump is working to secure GOOD deals for the American people, not for himself," White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement. "President Trump only acts in the best interest of the American public - which is why they overwhelmingly re-elected him to this office, despite years of lies and false accusations against him and his businesses from the fake news media."

白宫女发言人安娜·凯利（Anna Kelly）在一份声明中说：“特朗普总统正在努力为美国人民确定良好的交易，而不是为自己确定。” “特朗普总统只为美国公众的最大利益而行动 - 这就是为什么他们压倒性地将他当选为这个办公室的原因，尽管有多年的谎言和虚假的指控对他及其企业从假新闻媒体上进行了指控。”

The dinner guests are not being disclosed. However, one of those attending is Chinese-born crypto mogul Justin Sun, who announced his plans on social media.

晚餐客人没有被披露。但是，参加的人之一是中国出生的加密大亨贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun），他在社交媒体上宣布了他的计划。

"As the top holder of $TRUMP, I'm excited to connect with everyone, talk crypto, and discuss the future of our industry," said Sun, who is worth $8.5 billion, according to Forbes.

福布斯说：“作为特朗普的最高持有人，我很高兴能与所有人建立联系，谈论加密货币，并讨论我们行业的未来。”

Trump, who once criticized the crypto industry but has since become a huge booster and investor, also has promoted cryptocurrencies on the campaign trail, telling a crowd in Nashville in July for the Bitcoin Conference that he wanted to make the United States "the crypto capital of the planet and bitcoin superpower of the world." He has promised favorable regulation of the industry, which supported his campaign.

特朗普曾经批评加密货币行业，但此后成为巨大的助推器和投资者，他还在竞选活动中促进了加密货币，他于7月在纳什维尔举行的比特币会议上向纳什维尔的一群人表示，他想让美国成为“地球的加密之都和世界上的比特币超级能力”。他已承诺对该行业的有利监管，这支持了他的竞选活动。

The president held a crypto summit in the White House with prominent figures in the industry and signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile. The administration also dismantled a Justice Department unit targeting crypto fraud.

总统在白宫举行了加密峰会，该峰会在该行业中有着重要的数字，并签署了一项行政命令，建立了战略性比特币储备和数字资产库存。政府还拆除了针对加密欺诈的司法部部门。

But Trump's financial stake in the industry has raised ethical concerns. Among other ventures, he launched a pair of cryptocurrency tokens and owns 60% of the crypto platform World Liberty Financial.

但是特朗普在该行业的财务利益引发了道德问题。在其他企业中，他推出了一对加密货币代币，并拥有60％的加密平台世界自由金融。

Two of the cryptocurrency investments owned by Trump-affiliated entities alone have made at least $300 million in trading fees on sales of his meme coin and other digital currency since January, according to ethics watchdogs, Democratic lawmakers, crypto analysts and other experts.

根据道德监管机构，民主党立法者，加密货币分析师和其他专家的说法，仅由特朗普附属实体拥有的两项加密货币投资就其模因硬币和其他数字货币的销售额至少收取了3亿美元的交易费用。

Greater potential profits lie in the Trump entities' stake in the value of the meme coin and their other Trump-themed crypto investments, these analysts and other experts say.

这些分析师和其他专家说，特朗普实体在模因硬币及其其他以特朗普主题的加密投资的价值中的利润更大。

Recently, World Liberty Financial announced that one of its digital coins is being used by an Abu Dhabi investment firm for a $2 billion investment in cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Democratic lawmakers and crypto analysts said the deal was a conflict of interest that could earn World Liberty at least $27 million annually.

最近，世界自由金融公司宣布，阿布扎比投资公司正在使用其数字硬币之一，用于对加密货币交易所二进制的20亿美元投资。民主党立法者和加密分析师表示，这笔交易是一场利益冲突，每年可能至少赚取世界自由度至少2700万美元。

"President Trump's financial entanglements to the $TRUMP coin, as well as the attempted use of the White House to host competitions to prop up the value of $TRUMP, represents an unprecedented, pay-to-play scheme to provide access to the Presidency to the highest bidder," said U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, who opened a preliminary investigation into Trump's crypto businesses this month.

“特朗普总统与特朗普硬币的财务纠缠，以及尝试使用白宫举办竞赛来支撑特朗普的价值，代表了一个前所未有的，付费的计划，以提供总统职位的访问权限，以达到最高竞标者，”美国参议员Richard Blumenthal，Din-Connecticut，他对Trave进行了PRERELIMINAL的dreperition trake inter trake inter trake inter trake。

"The Trump Organization's involvement in this venture, and the potential for personal gain by President Trump, raise serious concerns about a clear conflict of interest and abuse of office."

“特朗普组织参与了这项企业，以及特朗普总统的个人利益的潜力，对明显的利益冲突和滥用职务引起了严重的关注。”

The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a left-leaning research and advocacy group, estimated that Trump and his entities could be making about $88,000 to $110,000 a day in trading fees on the sales of the $TRUMP meme coin.

左倾研究与倡导组织税收与经济政策研究所估计，特朗普及其实体可能每天赚取约88,000至110,000美元的交易费用，以销售$ trump Meme Coin。

The Trump Organization did not respond to requests for comment.

特朗普组织没有回应置评请求。

The president's actions come as Congress is considering legislation to regulate cryptocurrencies, which has been a subject of bipartisan interest on Capitol Hill.

总统的行动是因为国会正在考虑立法来规范加密货币，这是国会山上两党兴趣的主题。

"It appears that President Trump is personally profiting from the promotion of his own meme coin, in addition to taking advantage of the administration's role to intervene in the market on his own behalf," said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, who has been critical of the president's actions.

D-oregon参议员杰夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）说：“除了利用政府的角色来代表他自己干预市场外，特朗普总统在促进自己的模因硬币中亲自获利。”

"This is a stunning public display of corruption: The White House and President Trump are selling access to the government for personal profit."

“这是一个令人惊叹的腐败公开展示：白宫和特朗普总统正在向政府出售机会以谋取个人利润。”

The president's actions also come as his administration accepted a $400 million jet from Qatar in a deal that has raised concerns about the foreign nation trying to curry influence with the president.

总统的行动也发生了，因为他的政府接受了卡塔尔的4亿美元飞机，这一协议引起了人们对国外试图与总统产生影响的担忧。

"It's no secret that we're in the midst of a deep and troubling corruption scandal as President Trump peddles access to the highest bidders," said

“当特朗普总统兜售最高竞标者时，我们正处于深深而令人不安的腐败丑闻中，这已不是什么秘密。”
