特朗普的新特朗普模因硬币有望获得丰厚的回报，但引起了道德问题

总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）为领先的投资者在他的特朗普模因硬币中安排的奢侈晚餐引起了争议

An extravagant dinner arranged by former President Donald Trump for leading investors in his namesake meme coin has sparked controversy after guests collectively spent $148 million to attend the event, while the token's value continues to decline.

前总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）为领先的投资者在他的同名模因硬币中安排的奢侈晚宴引发了争议，因为客人共同花费了1.48亿美元参加活动，而代币的价值继续下降。

The gala, held on May 24th at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, was part of an initiative by Trump to launch his own stablecoin, which he unveiled earlier this year in partnership with the Trump Organization and the FTX-backed DeFi platform, Unstoppable Domains.

该晚会于5月24日在佛罗里达州的Mar-a-Lago度假村举行，是特朗普倡议的一部分，该计划启动了自己的Stablecoin，他于今年早些时候与特朗普组织和FTX支持的Defi平台合作宣布了自己的Stablecoin，该公司不可阻挡。

The event, which was attended by crypto executives such as Unstoppable Domains' Sandy Carter, influencers, and former NBA star Lamar Odom, who used the platform to endorse Trump as "the greatest president" while promoting his own token, $ODOM, began with a lavish cocktail hour.

该活动由加密高管参加，例如不可阻挡的域名桑迪·卡特（Sandy Carter），有影响力的人和前NBA明星拉马尔·奥多姆（Lamar Odom），他们利用该平台来认可特朗普作为“最伟大的总统”，同时宣传自己的代币，$ odom，始于一个奢侈的鸡尾酒会。

Guests were then treated to a lavish meal, though investor Nicholas Pinto, 25, was less than impressed with the culinary offerings.

然后，宾客享用了一顿丰盛的饭菜，尽管25岁的投资者尼古拉斯·平托（Nicholas Pinto）对烹饪产品印象深刻。

"The food sucked. We were only offered water or Trump's wine, and my glass was filled just once," he said.

他说：“吸食的食物。我们只有水或特朗普的葡萄酒，我的玻璃杯只装了一次。”

During his 23-minute appearance, Trump, who is running for president again in 2024, touched upon familiar themes, such as the "deep state" and the "fake news media." He also spoke about his vision for a new financial system powered by blockchain technology.

在23分钟的露面中，特朗普在2024年再次竞选总统，谈到了熟悉的主题，例如“深度国家”和“假新闻媒体”。他还谈到了他对由区块链技术提供支持的新金融系统的愿景。

"We're going to have the greatest economic system that's ever been known, and it's going to be a system where people can participate fully and fairly," Trump said.

特朗普说：“我们将拥有有史以来最伟大的经济体系，这将是一个可以充分公平参与的系统。”

He then departed via helicopter without greeting guests or posing for photos with contest winners, as promised by event organizers.

然后，正如活动组织者所承诺的那样，他在没有向客人打招呼或与比赛获胜者合影的情况下乘直升机出发。

Security measures also drew criticism, with Pinto noting that phones were largely unrestricted throughout the evening and supervision dissolved quickly after Trump's exit.

安全措施也引起了批评，平托（Pinto）指出，整个晚上的电话在很大程度上受到了不受限制的影响，在特朗普退出后，监督很快就消失了。

"It was like a mob boss's party in the best way possible," he said.

他说：“以最好的方式，这就像一个暴民老板的聚会。”

The event's opulence—Pinto observed at least 16 guests wearing Richard Mille watches—contrasted with a subdued mood as attendees monitored the token's falling value on their devices.

该活动的富裕 - 彭托（Pinto）观察到至少有16位穿着理查德·米勒（Richard Mille）手表的客人，随着与会者监视令牌在其设备上的下降价值时，情绪柔和。

"Everyone was in a bad mood after the token started tanking," he added.

他补充说：“在代币开始坦克之后，每个人都心情不好。”

The gala's fallout extended to Capitol Hill, where Senate Democrats proposed legislation to ban presidents and other senior officials from profiting from crypto ventures while in office.

晚会的后果扩展到了国会山，参议院民主党人提出立法，禁止总统和其他高级官员在任职期间从加密货币中获利。

This proposal, which was co-led by Senate Banking Chairman, Democrat Tim Kaine, and Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), is a direct challenge to Trump's USD1 stablecoin project.

该提案由参议院银行主席，民主党蒂姆·凯恩（Tim Kaine）和参议员杰夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）（D-ore。）共同领导，是对特朗普的USD1 Stablecoin项目的直接挑战。

"This administration-by-an-oligarch model is dangerous for our democracy and divides our nation," Merkley stated during a press conference.

默克利在一次新闻发布会上说：“这个逐个政府的模式对我们的民主是危险的，并将我们的国家划分。”

"We need to create a system where presidents are serving the people, not their own personal financial interests or the interests of campaign donors."

“我们需要创建一个系统，总统为人民服务，而不是他们自己的个人财务利益或竞选捐助者的利益。”

Bipartisan efforts to pass the GENIUS Act, a stablecoin regulation bill, also faced disruption after Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) added a contentious amendment capping credit card late fees, potentially affecting banking sector support for the legislation.

在参议员乔什·霍利（Josh Hawley）（R-Mo。）增加了有争议的修正案封顶信用卡的滞纳金，可能会影响银行业对立法的支持后，两党努力通过《稳定法规》法案的努力，这是一项Stablecoin法案。

Major U.S. banks, including JPMorgan and Bank of America, are reportedly exploring the creation of a unified digital dollar, but progress depends on regulatory clarity, which is now jeopardised by political wrangling.

据报道，包括摩根大通和美国银行在内的美国主要银行正在探索统一的数字美元的创建，但进展取决于监管的清晰度，现在，政治上的争执危害了。

Trump's use of the presidential seal during his speech, which is prohibited under federal law as it implies government endorsement of the token, has also brought legal scrutiny.

特朗普在演讲中使用总统​​印章的使用，这是联邦法律所禁止的，这意味着政府对代币的认可也带来了法律审查。

The White House distanced itself from the event, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt stating that Trump attended "in his personal capacity." However, critics argue that the line between his political and commercial interests remains blurred.

白宫与事件保持距离，新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特（Karoline Leavitt）表示，特朗普“以个人身份”参加了比赛。但是，批评家认为，他的政治和商业利益之间的界线仍然模糊。

"He's holding forth in the MAGA hat and with the presidential seal on his podium, and yet he's talking about his new private token and touting his family's new DeFi project," said one critic.

一位评论家说：“他戴着玛格（Maga）的帽子，并在讲台上戴着总统印章，但他正在谈论他的新私人代币并吹捧家人的新迪迪（New Defi）项目。”

"It's a blatant violation of federal law and campaign finance rules."

“这是对联邦法律和竞选财务规则的公然侵犯。”

A blockchain analysis revealed that the majority of the top TRUMP token holders utilised foreign exchanges, such as Bittrex Global and Coinswiss, which are typically inaccessible to U.S. users.

一个区块链分析表明，大多数特朗普代币持有人都利用外国交易所，例如Bittrex Global和Coinswiss，通常对我们用户无法访问。

Among the attendees was Chinese crypto mogul Justin Sun, who is currently facing paused SEC fraud charges. Sun, who holds $22 million in TRUMP tokens, was the third-largest holder of the token as of May 24th.

参与者中有中国加密大亨贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun），他目前面临暂停的SEC欺诈指控。 Sun在特朗普代币中持有2200万美元，截至5月24日，它是代币的第三大持有人。

Outside the venue, demonstrators, including Senator Merkley, gathered to protest against "crypto corruption" and urge lawmakers to pass legislation limiting politicians' ability to exploit cryptocurrency for personal gain.

在会场之外，包括参议员默克利（Merkley）在内的示威者聚集在一起抗议“加密腐败”，并敦促立法者通过立法，以限制政治家利用加密货币以获得个人利益的能力。

The protesters, who were organized by the anti-corruption group CREW, also distributed fliers warning guests about the potential for a pyramid scheme and highlighting the involvement of Trump's family members in the token project.

由反腐败组织船员组织的抗议者还向客人发出了传单，警告客人有关金字塔计划的潜力，并强调了特朗普的家庭成员参与代币项目。

Despite boasting an impressive start with over $324 million in trading fees collected since its debut in January, the TRUMP token has encountered difficulties in recent months, with its price plummeting rapidly

尽管自1月份首次亮相以来收取的交易费用超过3.24亿美元，但特朗普代币最近几个月遇到了困难，其价格迅速下降，但迅速遇到了困难。
