Is Trump’s Meme Coin A New Form of Influence?

特朗普的模因硬币是一种新的影响力形式吗？

In an episode of his “The Rest is Politics” podcast this morning, Stewart discussed how Trump’s meme coin can be used to make campaign contributions. He argued that it’s a novel way for influential figures and prominent businesses to influence Trump’s political decisions.

在今天早上他的“剩下的就是政治”播客的一集中，斯图尔特讨论了如何使用特朗普的模因硬币来做出竞选贡献。他认为，这是影响特朗普的政治决定的有影响力人物和著名企业的一种新颖方式。

The minister claimed that because the crypto industry in the US remains largely unregulated, Trump can receive these contributions without any financial accountability.

这位部长声称，由于美国的加密行业在很大程度上不受监管，因此特朗普可以在没有任何财务责任的情况下获得这些捐款。

“He doesn’t declare any of the money that comes in, he doesn’t declare any of the revenue he gets out of it. But what it is is an amazing way of making campaign contributions,” said Stewart.

斯图尔特说：“他没有宣布任何收入的钱，他没有宣布他从中获得的任何收入。

He pointed to a particular example that surfaced earlier this week. Javier Selgas, the CEO of North American shipping company Freight Technologies Inc., announced a $20 million investment in TRUMP tokens.

他指出了本周早些时候浮出水面的一个特定例子。北美航运公司Freight Technologies Inc.的首席执行官Javier Selgas宣布对特朗普代币进行了2000万美元的投资。

Since the company is publicly listed, the stock exchange requires it to disclose how it’s spending its money.

由于该公司已公开上市，因此证券交易所要求其披露其花费的方式。

“In his SEC filing, he says this is a sensible business decision because it’s advocacy for the business interests of [his] company for a free trade deal,” said Stewart.

斯图尔特说：“在他的SEC文件中，他说这是一个明智的商业决定，因为它倡导[他的公司]进行自由贸易协议的商业利益。”

Concerns Over Financial Gain and Political Favor

对经济利益和政治青睐的关注

At one point in the podcast, Rory Stewart expressed astonishment at how the US President is juggling his crypto ventures with political and financial gain.

在播客中的某一时刻，罗里·斯图尔特（Rory Stewart）对美国总统如何通过政治和经济利益兼顾他的加密货币冒险感到惊讶。

“The corruption of Trump is beyond imagining. It’s so staggering that we can scarcely keep up with it. It’s incredibly straightforward – essentially a transfer directly to Donald Trump’s bank account from any foreign dignitary [or] businessman in the world, and we can already see that when you make these transfers, court cases disappear, [and] contracts are given,” he said.

“特朗普的腐败是不可思议的。这真是太惊人了，几乎无法跟上它。它非常简单 - 基本上是直接从世界上任何外国贵族（或]的商人转移到唐纳德·特朗普的银行帐户的转移，我们已经可以看到，当您签订这些转让时，给出了这些转让，法庭案件消失了，[和]合同就消失了，[和]合同就会消失。

The minister was likely referring to crypto firms like Coinbase and Ripple, which donated millions to Trump’s presidential campaign ahead of the 2024 elections. According to Public Citizen, each firm spent around $50 million in campaign financing.

部长可能指的是Coinbase和Ripple等加密公司，这些公司在2024年大选之前向特朗普的总统竞选捐赠了数百万美元。据公民公民称，每家公司在竞选融资上花费了约5000万美元。

In March, the SEC dropped civil lawsuits against both firms. The news sparked immediate concern over potential conflicts of interest.

3月，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）撤销了针对这两家公司的民事诉讼。这一消息引发了人们对潜在利益冲突的关注。

Stewart went on to highlight the ability to pay millions for a private dinner with Trump, asserting that this could be a way to buy access and influence.

斯图尔特（Stewart）继续强调能够向特朗普（Trump）付出数百万美元的私人晚餐，并断言这可能是购买访问和影响力的一种方式。

Mar-a-Lago Access for High Donors

高级捐助者的Mar-a-lago访问权限

Last March, reports stated that business leaders can secure a one-on-one meeting with the president at Mar-a-Lago for a substantial fee.

报道说，去年三月，商业领袖可以以大量费用与Mar-A-Lago的总统进行一对一的会议。

“You can give him cash directly, or you can pay, it appears, between 1 million and 5 million dollars for a dinner at Mar-a-Lago or a meeting with him,” said Stewart.

斯图尔特说：“您可以直接给他现金，也可以付款，看来，在Mar-a-Lago的晚餐或与他会面的晚餐之间或500万美元之间。”

This opportunity closely mirrors Trump’s latest meme coin-related announcement, which offers an exclusive dinner with the president to top TRUMP holders.

这个机会密切反映了特朗普最新的模因硬币相关的公告，该消息与总统为特朗普顶级持有人提供了独家晚宴。

According to the official rules, buyers must be in the top 220 TRUMP token holders by May 22 to qualify for the dinner. The top 25 holders will also receive a VIP White House tour.

根据官方规定，买家必须在5月22日之前进入前220个特朗普象征持有人，才能有资格参加晚宴。前25名持有人还将获得VIP白宫之旅。

Does the Current System Adequately Regulate Crypto in Politics?

当前的系统在政治中是否充分调节加密货币？

In today’s interview, Stewart went on to say that, during his time in office, Trump suspended a series of laws that only serve to heighten existing concerns over conflicts of interest.

在今天的采访中，斯图尔特继续说，在任职期间，特朗普暂停了一系列法律，这些法律只会加剧现有的对利益冲突的关注。

“The protections that the US set up to try to deal with this are, of course, laws, which Trump has suspended. There are laws of Foreign Agents Act, which was about trying to prevent Russian agents or Cuban agents paying American politicans– that’s been paused by Trump. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, that’s about companies going abroad and paying bribes. Trump has frozen that too. Consumer Protection Acts– frozen by Trump,” said Stewart.

当然，美国为处理这一问题的保护是特朗普已暂停的法律。有一些法律。有一些法律法案是试图防止俄罗斯特工或古巴特工付费的俄罗斯代理人或古巴特工 - 特朗普暂停了 - 外国腐败行为，这是关于公民和贿赂的公司。

The minister’s comments highlight the pressing need for clarity regarding using digital assets in political activities, particularly meme coins.

部长的评论强调了在政治活动中使用数字资产，尤其是模因硬币的迫切需求。
