特朗普针对筹款平台Actblue，为民主运动提供动力

总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）将于周四签署总统备忘录，以ACTBLUE为目标，Actblue是为民主运动和事业提供动力的筹款平台。这是特朗普对政治反对的最新尝试。

President Donald Trump is set to sign a presidential memorandum Thursday targeting ActBlue, the fundraising platform that powers Democratic campaigns and causes. This is Trump’s latest attempt to neuter political opposition.

总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）将于周四签署总统备忘录，以ACTBLUE为目标，Actblue是为民主运动和事业提供动力的筹款平台。这是特朗普对政治反对的最新尝试。

It's unclear exactly what the memorandum will do, but according to Politico, it claims that ActBlue accepts foreign contributions—which the platform vehemently denies.

目前尚不清楚备忘录将做什么，但是根据Politico的说法，它声称Actblue接受了外国捐款，该平台强烈否认了。

Of course, Trump himself has been hit with allegations of accepting Russian bribes. In fact, a political consultant who worked for Great America PAC, which backed Trump’s 2016 campaign, was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2023 for illegally accepting Russian contributions.

当然，特朗普本人受到接受俄罗斯贿赂的指控。实际上，支持特朗普2016年竞选活动的大美国PAC的政治顾问因非法接受俄罗斯的捐款而在2023年被判处18个月监禁。

What’s more, Trump is currently taking in millions from cryptocurrency investors, who are buying his meme coin for a chance to meet with Trump. It’s a blatantly corrupt pay-to-play effort, in which foreigners could be personally funneling money to Trump.

更重要的是，特朗普目前正在从加密货币投资者那里吸收数百万美元，他们正在购买他的模因硬币，以便有机会与特朗普见面。这是一项公然腐败的付费努力，外国人可以亲自向特朗普筹集资金。

“The Trump coin scam is the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done. Not close,” Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut wrote on X.

康涅狄格州的民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）在X上写道：“特朗普硬币骗局是总统所做的最腐败的事情。”

Similarly, Massachusetts Democrats Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Jake Auchincloss joined together to demand an investigation into Trump’s meme coin, though it’s unlikely that the Department of Justice run by the nakedly partisan Pam Bondi would actually prosecute.

同样，马萨诸塞州民主党人参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）和众议员杰克·奥钦克洛斯（Jake Auchincloss）一起要求对特朗普的模因硬币进行调查，尽管不太可能由杰出的党派帕姆·邦迪（Partisan Pambondi）经营的司法部实际上会起诉。

“Anyone, including the leaders of hostile nations, can covertly buy these coins, raising the specter of uninhibited and untraceable foreign influence over the President of the United States, all while President Trump’s supporters are left to shoulder the risk of investing in $TRUMP and $MELANIA,” they wrote in a letter in January.

“任何人，包括敌对国家的领导人，都可以秘密地购买这些硬币，从而提高对美国总统的不受抑制和不可追踪的外国影响的幽灵，而特朗普总统的支持者则承担着投资特朗普和$梅拉尼亚的风险，”他们在一月份的一封信中写道。

And while ActBlue is being targeted by Trump’s memorandum, the Republican fundraising platform WinRed will seemingly go unscathed, despite its many actual issues—including coming under fire after the 2020 election for tricking people into unknowingly making recurrent donations to Trump’s campaign.

尽管特朗普的备忘录将Actblue作为目标，但共和党的筹款平台似乎毫发无损，尽管它的许多实际问题 - 包括在2020年大选后因欺骗人们而不知不觉地向特朗普的竞选活动进行反复捐款而受到抨击。

But this despotic attack against what Trump deems a “political enemy” is nothing new.

但是，这种对特朗普认为是“政治敌人”的专制攻击并不是什么新鲜事。

For example, Trump has stripped Big Law firms of their security clearances and government contracts because they employed lawyers who have investigated him or have sued to block Trump’s illegal actions. As a result, firms have halted pro bono work that might anger Trump.

例如，特朗普剥夺了大型律师事务所的安全许可和政府合同，因为他们雇用了调查他或起诉阻止特朗普非法行动的律师。结果，公司停止了可能激怒特朗普的无偿工作。

ActBlue raises massive amounts of money for Democrats and Democratic causes, taking in nearly $500 million in 2025 alone. And its lawyers have been gearing up for a fight against Trump.

Actblue为民主党和民主事业筹集了大量资金，仅在2025年就赚了近5亿美元。它的律师一直在为与特朗普作斗争。

“Every one of our clients is concerned about being arbitrarily targeted by the Trump administration. We are going to great lengths to help clients prepare for or defend themselves,” said Ezra Reese, political law chair at Elias Law Group, which represents many Democrats and Democratic organizations.

“我们的每个客户都关心特朗普政府任意目标。我们将竭尽全力帮助客户为自己做准备或捍卫自己。”代表许多民主党和民主组织的Elias Law Group的政治法律组织Ezra Reese说。

And ActBlue says that it will not be scared into submission by Trump's bullying.

Actblue说，特朗普的欺凌行为不会害怕屈服。

"Nothing will deter or interrupt ActBlue’s mission and work to enable millions of Americans to participate in our democracy," ActBlue President and CEO Regina Wallace-Jones wrote in an email to Democrats.

Actblue总裁兼首席执行官Regina Wallace-Jones在给民主党的电子邮件中写道：“没有什么能阻止或打断Actblue的使命，并努力使数百万美国人参与我们的民主国家。”

"There is an ongoing and persistent effort to weaken the confidence of the American people in what’s possible,” she added. “This is the next version of ‘the big lie.’"

她补充说：“持续不断的努力削弱了美国人民的信心。” “这是“大谎言”的下一个版本。”
