特朗普从$特朗普的模因硬币中获利了吗？

NBC的克里斯汀·韦尔克（Kristen Welker）与总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）面对他是否正在获利

In a portion of their extended Meet the Press interview being posted exclusively online, NBC's Kristen Welker pressed President Donald Trump on reports that he's profiting personally from a Trump meme coin.

在他们扩展的一部分会议上，新闻访谈仅在线发布，NBC的克里斯汀·韦尔克（Kristen Welker）向总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）敦促他从特朗普模因硬币中亲自获利。

The coin, which is named after the former president, has surged in recent months—especially after Trump agreed to host a private dinner with the top 220 holders of the coin. Following the announcement, the coin's value went as high as $14.32, a 58% increase from its previous low. (It currently trades at just under $11.)

这枚硬币以前总统的名字命名，最近几个月猛增 - 尤其是在特朗普同意与硬币前220名持有人举办私人晚餐之后。宣布这一消息后，硬币的价值高达14.32美元，比以前的低点增加了58％。 （目前的交易价格不到11美元。）

A left-leaning advocacy group called State Democracy Defenders Action estimated Trump's crypto holdings to be worth approximately $2.9 billion. And ethics watchdogs were up in arms about the dinner announcement—with numerous Democratic senators demanding a probe into what they allege is a "pay to play" scheme.

一个名为州民主捍卫者行动的左倾倡导组织估计特朗普的加密货币持有人数约为29亿美元。道德监管机构对晚餐宣布的态度充满了兴趣 - 许多民主党参议员要求对他们所称的“付费竞争”计划进行调查。

"What do you say to those who … worry you're profoping from the presidency?" Welker asked Trump.

“你对那些……担心你是从总统求职的人怎么说？”韦尔克问特朗普。

"I'm not profiting from anything," Trump replied. "All I'm doing is, I started this long before the election. I want crypto. I think crypto's important because if we don't do it, China's going to. And it's new, it's very popular, it's very hot. If you look at the market, when the market went down, that stayed much stronger than other aspects of the market. But I want crypto because a lot of people, you know, millions of people want it."

特朗普回答：“我没有从任何东西中获利。” “我要做的是，我开始大选之前就开始了。我想加密。我认为加密货币很重要，因为如果我们不这样做，中国会做的。而且它很新。它非常受欢迎，它很热门，它很热。如果您在市场上看市场，当市场下降时，那比市场上的其他方面都要强大。但是我想要加油的人，因为我知道人们，你们都知道很多人，你们都需要很多人。

Asked by Welker whether he's cashing in on the meme coin, Trump replied: "I haven't even looked."

韦尔克问他是否正在兑现模因硬币时，特朗普回答：“我什至没有看。”

"So you're not profiting off of the cryptocurrency at all?" Welker pressed.

“因此，您根本没有从加密货币中获利吗？”韦尔克按下。

"No. I never thought of that," Trump said. "I mean, should I contribute all of my real estate that I've owned for many years if it goes up a little bit because I'm president and doing a good job? I don't think so."

特朗普说：“不。我从未想过。” “我的意思是，如果我总统并做好工作，我应该贡献我多年来拥有多年的所有房地产吗？我不这么认为。”

As for whether he'd surrender any crypto cash to the government, Trump said he'd consider it.

至于他是否会向政府投降任何加密现金，特朗普说他会考虑的。

"I never thought of that," Trump said. "I mean, should I contribute all of my real estate that I've owned for many years if it goes up a little bit because I'm president and doing a good job? I don't think so."

特朗普说：“我从没想过。” “我的意思是，如果我总统并做好工作，我应该贡献我多年来拥有多年的所有房地产吗？我不这么认为。”
