眾議院民主黨人瞄準唐納德·特朗普總統的$特朗普模因硬幣

儘管唐納德·特朗普總統在國會山上最驕傲的支持者通過立法向他淋浴，並提出將他的肖像放在250美元的賬單上，宣布他的生日是國定假日，或者將他的肖像添加到拉什莫爾山上 - 在過道上的新努力並不那麼受寵若驚 - 眾議院民主黨人瞄準了總統的$ trump meme coin。

President Donald Trump's proudest supporters on Capitol Hill aren't short of proposals to put his portrait on a $250 bill, declare his birthday a national holiday or add his likeness to Mount Rushmore. But across the aisle, a new effort is less flattering — as House Democrats are taking aim at the president’s $TRUMP meme coin.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統在國會大廈山（Capitol Hill）最驕傲的支持者不足以提議將他的肖像貼在250美元的賬單上，宣布他的生日是國定假日，或者將他的肖像添加到拉什莫爾山（Mount Rushmore）。但是在整個過道中，新的努力並不那麼討人喜歡 - 因為眾議院民主黨人瞄準了總統的$特朗普模因硬幣。

Since launching a little over a month ago, the $TRUMP coin has seen its value tank after early investors dumped the cryptocurrency. Members of Congress have noticed as hundreds of thousands of investors have taken hard hits and billions in value have quickly vanished.

自一個多月前推出以來，特朗普硬幣在早期投資者拋棄加密貨幣之後就看到了其價值坦克。國會議員注意到，成千上萬的投資者遭受了艱苦的打擊和數十億的價值，很快就消失了。

California freshman Democrat Rep. Sam Liccardo told ABC News that he will introduce legislation to prohibit the country’s top officials and their families — from Congress to the White House — from capitalizing on personal meme coins.

加利福尼亞大一新生民主黨眾議員薩姆·列卡多（Sam Liccardo）告訴美國廣播公司（ABC News），他將介紹立法，禁止該國的頂級官員及其家人（從國會到白宮）利用個人模因硬幣。

The Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement (MEME) Act would prohibits the president, vice president, members of Congress, senior executive branch officials and their spouses and dependent children from issuing, sponsoring or endorsing a security, future, commodity or digital asset.

《現代艾爾將和瀆職執法法》（MEME）法案將禁止總統，副主席，國會議員，高級執行分支機構官員及其配偶以及受撫養子女發行，贊助或認可安全，未來，商品或數字資產。

Liccardo said he believes that the president and first lady Melania Trump cashed in on their meme coins and enriched investors around the world who initially supported the cryptocurrency.

Liccardo說，他認為總統和第一夫人梅拉尼亞·特朗普（Melania Trump）兌現了自己的模因硬幣，並豐富了最初支持加密貨幣的全球投資者。

Trump launched the coin in January, days before he took office. A similar Melania coin had been issued a week earlier. Trump in July said he wanted to turn the U.S. into the “crypto capital of the planet.”

特朗普在一月份上任前幾天發射了硬幣。一周前也發布了類似的梅拉尼亞硬幣。特朗普在七月說，他想將美國變成“地球的加密首都”。

While Liccardo’s legislation is not expected to become law over the next two years under Republican majorities in the House and Senate, the freshman Democrat said that the president and first lady made a windfall on their respective meme coins and is working to build support that culminates behind a Democrat majority.

儘管在眾議院和參議院的共和黨多數派的領導下，預計利卡多的立法不會在未來兩年內成為法律，但新生民主黨人說，總統和第一夫人在各自的模因硬幣上陷入了意外之際，並正在努力建立支持民主黨多數派背後的支持。

“Let’s make corruption criminal again,” Liccardo, a former federal and local criminal prosecutor, said. “Our public offices belong to the public, not the officeholders, nor should they leverage their political authority for financial gain. The Trumps’ issuance of meme coins financially exploits the public for personal gain, and raises the specter of insider trading and foreign influence over the Executive Branch.”

前聯邦和地方刑事檢察官利卡爾多說：“讓我們再次使腐敗犯罪。” “我們的公共辦公室屬於公眾，而不是辦公室持有人，也不應利用其政治權力來獲得經濟利益。特朗普對模因硬幣的發行在財務上剝奪了公眾的個人利益，並提高了內幕貿易和外國對行政部門的影響力。”

The proposal would forbid federal officials from promoting a range of financial assets or from participating in any conduct likely to financially benefit themselves, according to Liccardo. The legislation would impose criminal and civil penalties and includes a prohibition that applies to any financial asset, such as the stock of Truth Social.

據LICCARDO稱，該提案將禁止聯邦官員推廣一系列金融資產或參加任何可能在財務上受益的行為。該立法將對刑事和民事處罰施加，並包括適用於任何金融資產的禁令，例如《真理社會的股票》。

Liccardo wants to subject violators to criminal and civil penalties while stopping them from profiting from an asset issued before the bill's enactment — giving it retroactive element intended to address the launch of $TRUMP.

利卡多（Liccardo）希望使違規者處以刑事和民事處罰，同時阻止他們從法案製定前發行的資產中獲利 - 賦予其追溯元素，旨在解決$ trump的推出。

Liccardo said he has a dozen Democratic cosponsors as he prepares to introduce the legislation on Thursday.

Liccardo說，他準備在周四介紹該立法時，有十幾個民主黨共同提案。
