特朗普的纪念比赛的获胜者开始聚集在一起吃晚饭

抗议者在星期四晚上聚集在美国总统＃特朗普的弗吉尼亚高尔夫球场外面，他计划与数百名买家的加密代币共进私人晚餐。

Protesters on Thursday evening converged outside US President #Trump's Virginia golf club, where he planned a private dinner with hundreds of buyers of his family's crypto tokens.

抗议者周四晚上汇聚在美国总统＃特朗普的弗吉尼亚高尔夫俱乐部之外，在那里他计划与家人的加密代币的数百个买家共进晚餐。

As many as 220 of the family’s top cryptocurrency holders purchased access to the president at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, ahead of the evening meal, which was due to take place at 6 p.m.

该家庭的最高加密货币持有人中有多达220个在晚餐之前，在弗吉尼亚州斯特林的特朗普国家高尔夫俱乐部购买了总统的访问权

The protest outside Trump's private club followed a smaller rally on Capitol Hill, where a half-dozen Democrats from the House and Senate condemned the dinner, some of whom called it one of the most corrupt acts in American history and demanded that Trump release a full list of his guests.

特朗普私人俱乐部之外的抗议活动是在国会山上举行的一次较小的集会之后，那里的六名民主党人谴责了晚餐，其中一些人称其为美国历史上最腐败的行为之一，并要求特朗普发布他的客人的完整清单。

"This is the Mount Everest of corruption," said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore. He then read excerpts from the Constitution and listed examples of corrupt presidential schemes from early U.S. history. "We have to stop this," he said.

D-Ore的参议员Jeff Merkley说：“这是腐败的珠穆朗玛峰。”然后，他阅读了《宪法》的摘录，并列出了美国早期历史的腐败总统计划的例子。他说：“我们必须停止这一点。”

Trump and his business partners organized the event last month by announcing what they called the world’s “most exclusive invitation”: a competition to win access to the president by buying #TRUMP, a cryptocurrency token launched on the eve of Trump’s inauguration. The first 220 buyers will dine with the president at his golf club, while the top 25 will attend a more intimate cocktail party and tour of the White House the next day.

特朗普和他的商业伙伴上个月宣布了他们所说的世界“最独家邀请”：通过购买#Trump赢得与总统的竞争，这是一项竞争，这是一场赢得与总统的竞争，这是一个加密货币代币在特朗普就职典礼前夕发起的。前220名买家将在他的高尔夫俱乐部与总统一起用餐，而前25名将参加第二天更亲密的鸡尾酒会和游览白宫。

Trump posted on his social media platform Thursday evening: "Going to Loudoun County, Virginia for a Cryptocurrency Dinner in a while. The United States is leading the way in cryptocurrencies, #Bitcoin, and more, and we will keep it that way!"

特朗普周四晚上在他的社交媒体平台上发布：“一段时间以来，去弗吉尼亚州劳登县参加加密货币晚宴。

During the competition, a leaderboard on the website of Trump’s memecoin, called $TRUMP, allowed cryptocurrency investors to see how much they would need to buy to move up the rankings and win a spot.

在比赛中，特朗普的纪念物网站上的排行榜称为$ trump，允许加密货币投资者看到他们需要购买多少才能提高排名并赢得一席之地。

A memecoin is a cryptocurrency associated with an online joke or mascot; it usually has no function beyond speculation. But Trump’s tokens have become a vehicle for investors, including some overseas, to funnel money to his family.

Memecoin是与在线笑话或吉祥物相关的加密货币。它通常没有超出猜测的功能。但是，特朗普的代币已成为包括海外在内的投资者的工具，以向家人汇款。

“Go, MAGA baby,” one Trump fan shouted to protesters as they left the club on Thursday, as Secret Service officers guarded the entrance.

“去，玛格宝贝，”一位特朗普球迷周四离开俱乐部时向抗议者大喊，当时特勤局官员守卫了入口。

White House press secretary Carolyn Levitt rejected any suggestion that Trump acted inappropriately by hosting the dinner.

白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特（Carolyn Levitt）拒绝了任何建议特朗普通过举办晚宴不适当地行事。

“It’s ridiculous for anyone to suggest that the president is profiting from the presidency,” Ms. Levitt said at the White House before Mr. Trump left for his golf club. “This is a president who was incredibly successful before he served his country, and he not only lost his fortune, he nearly lost his life. He sacrificed a lot to get here.”

莱维特女士在特朗普先生离开他的高尔夫俱乐部之前在白宫说：“任何人都建议总统从总统处获利是荒谬的。” “这是一位总统，在他为国家服务之前取得了令人难以置信的成功，他不仅失去了自己的财富，而且几乎失去了生命。他牺牲了很多东西来到这里。”

But the response failed to impress protesters.

但是反应未能给抗议者留下深刻的印象。

“This is like a black market scheme,” said Ross Fabia, 66, a former federal employee from Arlington, Va. “He’s going to use cryptocurrency to line his pockets.”

“这就像一个黑市计划，”现年66岁的罗斯·法比亚（Ross Fabia）说，他是弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的前联邦雇员。他将使用加密货币来排列自己的口袋。”

The dinner proposal set off a frenzy among cryptocurrency executives around the world, several of whom showed up with the express intention of influencing U.S. policy. The event is unlike anything in recent American history — not a campaign fundraiser but a gathering arranged by the president’s business partners and designed to directly enrich the first family.

晚餐提议使世界各地的加密货币高管发动了疯狂，其中一些人出现了，目的是影响美国政策。该活动与最近的美国历史上的任何事情都不一样 - 不是竞选筹款活动，而是由总统的商业伙伴安排的聚会，旨在直接丰富第一家家庭。

Many of the guests have a stake in how cryptocurrencies are regulated in the U.S. They saw the dinner as a chance to hear directly from Mr. Trump and learn how they can expand their businesses in the U.S. after Biden-era regulations led many of them to avoid investing in the country.

许多客人都在美国如何对加密货币进行监管，他们将晚餐视为直接听到特朗普先生的聆听，并在拜登时代的法规导致许多人避免在国家投资之后，了解他们如何在美国扩大业务。

This week, Justin Sun, the cryptocurrency billionaire who runs the Tron platform, announced he would also be at the dinner — and that he controls the No. 1 account on the leaderboard, holding more than $20 million worth of tokens. Sun was indicted by the SEC in 2023 for fraud and is also a big investor in World Liberty Financial, another Trump family cryptocurrency venture.

本周，经营Tron平台的加密货币亿万富翁贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun）宣布他也将参加晚宴 - 他控制了排行榜上的第一帐户，拥有价值超过2000万美元的代币。 Sun于2023年因欺诈而被SEC起诉，也是World Liberty Financial的大投资者，这是另一家特朗普家族的加密货币合资企业。

The SEC suspended its fraud investigation into Sun shortly after Trump took office in January. “Honored to support the President and grateful for the invitation,” Sun wrote on X this week.

特朗普在一月份上任后不久，SEC暂停了对太阳的欺诈调查。 Sun本周在X上写道：“很荣幸支持总统并感谢邀请。”

Some of the attendees were lower-profile entrepreneurs, influencers or Trump super fans who were willing to pay for a chance to meet the president.

一些与会者是较低的企业家，有影响力的人或特朗普超级球迷，他们愿意为与总统见面的机会付费。

“If I can get a selfie, a handshake or an autograph, that in itself is priceless to me,” said Vincent Derieux, a 27-year-old adviser who ranks No. 165 on the $TRUMP leaderboard.

“如果我能得到自拍照，握手或亲笔签名，那本身对我来说是无价的，” 27岁的顾问文森特·德里克斯（Vincent Derieux）说，他在特朗普的排行榜上排名第165位。

A business entity associated with the Trump family holds a large amount of $TRUMP cryptocurrency and collects fees every time those tokens change hands. According to cryptocurrency analysis firm Chainalysis, the token has generated at least $320 million in fees so far, and the Trump family shares these fees with their business partners.

与特朗普家族相关的企业实体拥有大量$ trump的加密货币，并每次这些代币易手收取费用。根据加密货币分析公司的链分析，该代币到目前为止已经产生了至少3.2亿美元的费用，特朗普家族与他们的业务合作伙伴分享了这些费用。

The contest was set up by a company called Fight, Fight, Fight, which was founded in January and named

比赛是由一家名为Fight，Fight，Fight战斗的公司成立的，该公司成立于1月，名字叫
