特朗普星期四晚上在华盛顿地区的高尔夫俱乐部举办以加密主题为主题的晚餐

白宫新闻秘书为唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统在周四晚上在华盛顿地区的高尔夫俱乐部举行了以他的模因硬币为投资者举办的以加密货币为主题的晚会

"The president is abiding by all conflict-of-interest laws that are applicable," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday in response to a question about if anyone in the administration had advised against the dinner. "The American public … fully believe it's absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off of the presidency. This president was incredibly successful before giving it all up to serve our country publicly. And not only has he lost wealth, but he also almost lost his life."

新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特（Karoline Leavitt）周四表示：“总统正在遵守所有适用的利益法律。” “美国公众……完全相信任何人都暗示这位总统正在从总统任职中获利是荒谬的。这位总统在全力以赴为我们的国家公开服务之前取得了令人难以置信的成功。不仅他失去了财富，而且他几乎丧生了一生。”

President Donald Trump announced the creation of the $TRUMP meme coin at a Crypto Ball days before he took office in January. A Trump Organization affiliate, CIC Digital LLC, and a second organization, Fight Fight Fight LLC, collectively own 80% of the token, its website states.

唐纳德·特朗普总统宣布在一月份上任前几天的一个加密鲍尔·鲍尔（Crypto Ball）创建了$ trump模因硬币。其网站指出，特朗普组织的分支机构CIC Digital LLC和第二个组织Fight Fight Fight LLC统称为80％的代币。

Meme coins are more often created as a joke, capitalizing on the popularity of a celebrity or a meme, but $TRUMP offered its biggest investors the opportunity to receive "the most EXCLUSIVE INVITATION in the World" to Thursday's gala. The black-tie-optional event was promoted on its website as a chance for 220 attendees to hear Trump speak about the future of crypto. The top 25 holders of the digital asset — which like the 220 attendees, was determined by a leaderboard of average holdings for three weeks ending on May 12 — were also invited to a reception before the dinner with Trump and a separate "Special VIP Tour," the site notes.

模因硬币经常是个玩笑，利用了名人或模因的受欢迎程度，但特朗普为最大的投资者提供了机会，有机会收到“世界上最独特的邀请函”到周四的盛会。黑色领带活动在其网站上宣传是有机会让220名与会者听到特朗普谈论加密货币的未来的机会。该网站指出，数字资产的前25名持有人（与220名参与者一样，由5月12日的平均持有量为三周的平均持股板确定，也被邀请在与特朗普晚餐前的招待会和单独的“特殊VIP巡回赛”之前参加招待会。

The former president even touted the dinner on his social media site, Truth Social, earlier this month with an image of himself — fist raised — and the phrase "Fight, Fight Fight."

这位前总统甚至在本月初在他的社交媒体网站真实社交网站上吹捧晚餐，并以自己的形象（拳头抬起）和“战斗，战斗”一词。

Leavitt fielded several questions from reporters about the gala during Thursday's press briefing.

利维特（Leavitt）在周四的新闻发布会上提出了记者的几个问题。

"All of the president's assets are in a blind trust, which is managed by his children," Leavitt responded, when asked if the gala was a way for the president to enrich himself through the office. "I would argue one of the many reasons that the American people reelected this president back to this office is because he was a very successful businessman before giving it up to publicly serve our country."

当被问及晚会是否是通过办公室使自己丰富自己的一种方式时，莱维特回答说：“总统的所有资产都处于盲目信托基金中，这是由他的孩子管理的。” “我认为，美国人民将这位总统当选回这个办公室的众多原因之一是因为他是一个非常成功的商人，然后才能公开服务我们的国家。”

She was also asked if Trump would release the list of attendees to the public, and responded that she would bring the request to Trump.

她还被问到特朗普是否会将与会者名单释放给公众，并回答说她将向特朗普提出要求。

"The president is attending it in his personal time," Leavitt said. "It is not a White House dinner. It is not taking place here at the White House."

莱维特说：“总统在他的个人时间里参加。” “这不是白宫晚餐。它不是在白宫举行的。”

Watchdog groups and Democrats have condemned the gala and the cryptocurrency token — which had generated more than $320 million in fees for its creators from its launch until the beginning of May, according to the blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis — as a conflict of interest. Public Citizen, a progressive advocacy organization, also planned to protest outside the event Thursday night.

根据区块链分析公司的链分析，看门狗团体和民主党人谴责了晚会和加密货币代币，从发射到5月初为创作者产生了超过3.2亿美元的费用。渐进式倡导组织公共公民也计划在周四晚上在活动之外抗议。

"Trump’s crypto dinner is a pay-to-play scheme to provide access to the Presidency to the highest bidder—even if the highest bidder happens to be a foreign national who was sued by the SEC for fraud," Sen. Richard Blumenthal wrote on X.

参议员Richard Blumenthal在X上写道：“特朗普的加密晚宴是一项付费计划，可以向总价最高的总统职位提供访问权，即使出价最高的人恰好是由SEC起诉欺诈的外国国民。”

Blumenthal was referring to crypto billionaire Justin Sun, who was charged by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with fraud and other securities law violations in 2023. Federal officials asked a judge to pause the case in February and then asked for an additional 60 days to hash out an agreement with Sun on April 28, according to court filings.

Blumenthal指的是加密货币亿万富翁贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun），他在2023年被美国证券交易委员会指控欺诈和其他证券法违反。

"Honored to support @POTUS and grateful for the invitation from @GetTrumpMemes to attend President Trump’s Gala Dinner as his TOP fan!" Sun said in a post on X.

“很荣幸能够支持@potus，并感谢@gettrumpmemes的邀请参加特朗普总统的盛大晚宴，这是他的顶级粉丝！”太阳在X上的帖子中说。

"As the top holder of $TRUMP, I’m excited to connect with everyone, talk crypto, and discuss the future of our industry."

“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。”
