特朗普宣布他的特朗普模因硬币的顶级持有人将与他共进晚餐后，引起了人们的注意

美国总统在宣布他的特朗普模因硬币的顶级持有人将有机会与他共进晚餐或白宫的VIP之旅后再次引起人们的注意。

US President Joe Biden has raised eyebrows once again after announcing that top holders of his TRUMP meme coin would have the chance to win an exclusive dinner with him or a VIP tour of the White House. The decision to use public office for private gain drew scrutiny over whether the President was committing Constitutional violations.

美国总统乔·拜登（Joe Biden）宣布他的特朗普模因硬币的顶级持有人将有机会与他赢得独家晚宴或白宫的VIP之旅，再次引起了人们的注意。决定使用公职私人收益的决定对总统是否构成违反宪法的行为进行了审查。

In a conversation with BeInCrypto, former George W. Bush Ethics Lawyer Richard Painter explained that Trump did not violate the US Constitution but could be sued for fraud if he fails to fulfill his promises by the May deadline.

在与Beincrypto的对话中，前乔治·W·布什（George W. Bush）道德律师理查德·画家（Richard Painter）解释说，特朗普没有违反美国宪法，但如果他未能在5月的截止日期之前履行他的诺言，则可能被起诉欺诈。

Initial Announcement and Public Reaction

最初的公告和公众反应

If President Trump’s involvement in crypto ventures raised ethical concerns before, they’ve now turned legal following his recent announcement regarding the trading of his meme coin.

如果特朗普总统参与加密货币的企业提出了道德问题，那么在最近宣布有关他的模因硬币交易的消息之后，他们现在已成为合法的问题。

Last week, Trump announced a contest in which the top 220 holders of TRUMP would be invited to an exclusive gala dinner to meet the President, while the top 25 holders would also get a VIP tour of the White House.

上周，特朗普宣布了一场比赛，其中特朗普的前220名持有人将被邀请参加独家晚宴与总统会面，而前25名持有人也将获得白宫的VIP之旅。

The public has until May 12 to accumulate tokens beyond the 220 threshold, while the dinner is set to take place on May 22. The announcement immediately raised criticism over corruption and market manipulation.

公众必须在5月12日之前累积超过220个门槛的代币，而晚餐定于5月22日举行。公告立即提出了对腐败和市场操纵的批评。

A recent report, co-authored by Painter, indicates that as of mid-March, President Trump’s cryptocurrency holdings, including TRUMP and WLFI, were valued at $2.9 billion, constituting about 37% of his total wealth. The launch of the USD1 stablecoin by World Liberty Financial would drive further growth in the value of these assets.

画家合着的最新报告表明，截至3月中旬，特朗普总统的加密货币持有人（包括特朗普和WLFI）的价值为29亿美元，占他总财富的37％。世界自由金融推出了USD1 Stablecoin将推动这些资产价值的进一步增长。

Though visibly unethical, Trump’s actions are not legally liable.

尽管明显不道德，但特朗普的行动在法律上不承担任何责任。

Circumventing Constitutional Emoluments Clauses

规避宪法埃默尔条款

Despite public and legislative criticism and scrutiny from bodies like the Senate Banking Committee, President Trump has so far avoided any legal challenges.

尽管参议院银行委员会等机构进行了公众和立法批评和审查，但特朗普总统到目前为止避免了任何法律挑战。

Though riddled with ethical questions, his crypto ventures have successfully skirted legal and constitutional breaches of trust.

尽管充满了道德问题，但他的加密货币企业已经成功地避开了法律和宪法违反信任的行为。

Under the US Constitution, the Foreign and Domestic Emoluments Clauses are anti-corruption provisions designed to ensure the integrity and independence of individuals holding positions of public trust within the government.

根据美国宪法，外国和国内艾式条款是反腐败规定，旨在确保个人在政府内部拥有公共信任立场的个人的完整性和独立性。

They aim to prevent external and internal influences from potentially compromising the judgment and loyalty of government officials. However, these clauses primarily address gifts or benefits from foreign governments or the US government itself.

它们旨在防止外部和内部影响可能损害政府官员的判断和忠诚。但是，这些条款主要解决外国政府或美国政府本身的礼物或福利。

“[Trump’s] using the presidency to make money for himself off his meme coin and auctioning off White House tours and a dinner with the President in his official capacity. If foreign governments get involved, that would violate the emoluments clause of the Constitution. I haven’t seen that yet, but they could. But it’s clearly corrupt,” Painter told BeInCrypto.

“ [特朗普]利用总统任期为自己的模因硬币赚钱，以他的正式身份与总统一起拍卖白宫的旅行和与总统的晚餐。如果外国政府参与其中，那将违反《宪法》的徒劳条款。我还没有看到过，但是他们可以腐败。

In other words, the perks offered by a private meme coin project, though closely associated with the President, wouldn’t fall under the strict definition of an “emolument.”

换句话说，私人模因硬币项目提供的特权虽然与总统密切相关，但不会属于“ emolument”的严格定义。

Trump’s recent announcements raise questions about other laws, but his presidential status offers him a degree of legal insulation.

特朗普最近的宣布引起了对其他法律的疑问，但他的总统地位为他提供了一定程度的法律隔离。

Trump just announced that the top 220 holders of his $TRUMP Meme Coin will be invited to dinner with him on May 22nd.

特朗普刚刚宣布，他的$特朗普模因硬币的前220名持有人将于5月22日与他共进晚餐。

Let that sink in: Trump, his family, and his businesses control the coin, so he’s essentially telling people to pump his asset if they want a seat at… https://t.co/1zDbbekAmS

让那吧：特朗普，他的家人和他的业务控制硬币，因此，如果他们想坐在…https://t.co/1zdbbbekams

Conflict of Interest Laws and Presidential Exemption

利益冲突法律和总统豁免

A certain section of the United States Code explicitly addresses conflicts of interest involving the federal government. This section, known as “Acts affecting a personal financial interest,” is designed to ensure that government employees act in the public’s best interest, free from the influences of their own economic position.

美国法典的某个部分明确解决了涉及联邦政府的利益冲突。本节被称为“影响个人财务利益的行为”，旨在确保政府雇员以公众的最大利益行事，而不受其自身经济地位的影响。

The statute generally prohibits federal employees from participating “personally and substantially” in any “particular matter” that would have a “direct and predictable effect” on their financial interests.

该法规通常禁止联邦雇员在任何“特定事项”上“亲自和基本上”对其财务利益产生“直接且可预测的影响”。

If a person violates this statute, they face criminal and civil penalties, including substantial fines or time served in prison. However, there are exceptions to this statute.

如果一个人违反了这项法规，他们将面临犯罪和民事处罚，包括大量罚款或在监狱中服役的时间。但是，该法规有例外。

“The financial conflict of interest statute does not apply to the President, the Vice President, and members of Congress. It’s a crime for everybody else in the government. That’s why the members of Congress are trading in stocks, and President Trump can do this. This is a big problem, and I think we may need to amend that criminal statute,” Painter explained.

“金融利益冲突法规不适用于总统，副总统和国会议员。这是政府其他所有人的犯罪。这就是为什么国会议员以股票交易，特朗普总统可以做到这一点。这是一个大问题，我认为我们可能需要修改刑事法规，” Painter解释说。

This law has been this way since the founding of the Republic. The statute’s exceptions have never been amended despite repeated questioning over the years.

自共和国建立以来，这项法律就是这样。尽管多年来反复质疑，但该法规的例外从未得到修改。

Currently, Trump’s plans for a private dinner with top meme coin holders are not subject to federal prosecution. However, failing to fulfill these promises could lead to legal action at the state level or through private lawsuits.

目前，特朗普与顶级模因硬币持有人共进私人晚餐的计划不受联邦起诉。但是，未能履行这些诺言可能会导致州一级或通过私人诉讼提出法律行动。

Meme Coins and Securities Regulations

模因硬币和证券法规

A month after Trump launched his meme coin, the SEC declared that meme coins are not classified as securities.

特朗普发起他的模因硬币一个月后，SEC宣布模因硬币不是被归类为证券。
