川普在上任前的周末推出了他的加密貨幣和Tik Tok 騙局，這兩項騙局都是為了讓自己、家人和親信的淨資產呈指數級增長，但卻不做任何工作，也不為人類創造任何有價值的東西。多年來，他經歷過無數的騙局，但這些最終可能是最大的騙局。

… Trump kicked off his crypto and Tik Tok scams the weekend before taking office, both designed to enrich himself, family members and cronies’ net worth exponentially while doing no work and producing nothing of value for humanity. He’s had endless scams before over the years, but these may end up being the biggest ones yet.

……川普在上任前的周末開始了他的加密貨幣和Tik Tok 騙局，這兩個騙局都是為了讓自己、家人和親信的淨資產呈指數級增長，同時不做任何工作，也不為人類創造任何有價值的東西。多年來，他經歷過無數的騙局，但這些最終可能是迄今為止最大的騙局。

… CNN reported that Trump’s 80% stake in his new Crypto is now worth $25 billion after one day of trading. Not a bad payday for having to do absolutely nothing for it.

…… CNN 報導稱，川普持有的新加密貨幣 80% 的股份經過一天的交易後現在價值 250 億美元。對於完全不用做任何事的發薪日來說，這還不錯。

… From a non-partisan account on X that monitors and warns the public about Crypto scams: “I sign off for 24 hours, and Donald Trump has dropped what might be the biggest grift in crypto meme coin history: $TRUMP. Days before taking the presidency, he launches a coin with 80% allocated to him, unlocking over the next 3–12 months and throughout his presidency. Does he want the presidency—or just to scam? Buckle up, wild times are here.”

……來自X 上的一個無黨派帳戶，該帳戶監視並警告公眾有關加密貨幣詐騙的信息：「我簽了24 小時，唐納德·川普已經放棄了可能是加密貨幣迷因幣歷史上最大的騙局：$TRUMP。在就任總統前幾天，他發行了一枚代幣，其中 80% 分配給他，並在接下來的 3 至 12 個月以及整個總統任期內解鎖。他想要當總統還是只是為了詐騙？係好安全帶，瘋狂的時代已經到來。

… After Trump fans complained about his post, he followed up with this: “This page is about as apolitical as it gets, but when I see the future president of the free world launching an 80%-allocated meme coin, I’m going to speak on it. Use your brain and move beyond your algorithmically driven ideology for a moment.”

……在川普的粉絲抱怨他的貼文後，他接著說：「這個頁面幾乎是非政治性的，但是當我看到自由世界的未來總統推出一個80% 分配的迷因幣時，我會去來談論它。運用你的大腦，暫時超越你的演算法驅動的意識形態。

… Another internet scam monitor posted this: “Dropping TRUMP memecoin 2 days before becoming president is nasty work. The new SEC/DOJ guarantees no prosecution. 80% of tokens vest to insiders DURING the presidency. Most people losing money will be MAGA who aren't crypto native. Should be a crime, but crime is legal now, I guess?”

……另一位網路詐騙監控員發布了這樣的內容：「在成為總統前 2 天放棄川普 memecoin 是一件令人討厭的工作。新的 SEC/DOJ 保證不會起訴。 80% 的代幣在總統任期內歸屬於內部人士。大多數賠錢的人都是非加密原生的「MAGA」。應該是犯罪，但我想現在犯罪是合法的吧？

… Trump posted this on Twitter in 2019: “I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity.” But once someone explained to him how he could scam many billions by doing nothing, he quickly became a fan.

……川普在 2019 年在 Twitter 上發表了這樣的言論：「我不喜歡比特幣和其他加密貨幣，它們不是貨幣，其價值高度波動且憑空而來。不受監管的加密資產可能會助長非法行為，包括毒品交易和其他非法活動。但一旦有人向他解釋了他如何無所事事就能騙取數十億美元，他很快就成為了粉絲。

… Then Trump got busy with his Tik Tok scam, where he played arsonist taking advantage of his own fire. I predicted in this column last week that Tik Tok would shut down their app on Saturday to get users panicked while blaming the Biden Admin, despite the fact that Biden already said he will not enforce the ban. Then Trump would come in to act like he’s their savior Then they would turn their app back on, praise Trump, and he would claim all the credit.

……然後川普忙於他的Tik Tok騙局，他用自己的火扮演縱火犯。我上週在本專欄中預測，Tik Tok 將在周六關閉他們的應用程序，讓用戶感到恐慌，同時指責拜登政府，儘管拜登已經表示他不會執行該禁令。然後川普會進來表現得好像他是他們的救世主然後他們會重新打開他們的應用程序，讚揚川普，他會聲稱所有的功勞。

… Which is exactly how it went down this weekend. Tik Tok shut down their own app and posted a statement on Saturday night saying that they hope Trump will save them. Then at 7:03 AM on Sunday, Trump posts: “SAVE TIKTOK!” Tik Tok then turns their app back on and praises Trump (who did nothing). Trump then reveals his grift, which is the reason behind the whole scam: “I would like the US to have a 50% ownership position in a joint venture. Without US approval, there is no TikTok. With our approval, it is worth 100s of billions, maybe trillions.”

……這正是本週末的情況。 Tik Tok 關閉了自己的應用程序，並在週六晚間發表聲明稱，希望川普能夠拯救他們。然後在周日早上 7:03，川普發文表示：“拯救 TIKTOK！”然後，Tik Tok 重新打開他們的應用程式並讚揚川普（他什麼也沒做）。川普隨後揭露了他的詐欺行為，這也是整個騙局背後的原因：「我希望美國在一家合資企業中擁有 50% 的所有權。沒有美國的批准，就沒有TikTok。經過我們的批准，它的價值可達數百億，甚至數萬億。

… He knows the US government is not allowed to do this. This is about forcing them to sell 50% of the company to his cronies where he gets a substantial cut. That is what’s going on here, along with trying to fool millions of Tik Tok creators/users that Trump saved their small businesses and daily social media experience.

……他知道美國政府不允許這樣做。這意味著迫使他們將公司 50% 的股份出售給他的親信，而他從中獲得了可觀的分成。這就是這裡正在發生的事情，同時也試圖欺騙數百萬 Tik Tok 創作者/用戶，讓他們相信川普拯救了他們的小型企業和日常社交媒體體驗。

… Tik Tok then sent this message to all their users: “Thank you for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the US!” Sounds exactly like something that would get posted by Chinese state media about Xi.

……Tik Tok 隨後向所有用戶發送了這條訊息：「感謝您的耐心和支持。在川普總統的努力下，TikTok 又回到了美國！聽起來和中國官方媒體發布的有關習近平的內容一模一樣。

… Charlie Kirk then posted: “Trump saved TikTok! Gen Z voters should remember this.”

……查理柯克隨後發文表示：「川普拯救了 TikTok！ Z 世代選民應該記住這一點。

… Elon Musk let us know what he is looking for in this shady deal: “The current situation where Tik Tok is allowed to operate in America, but X is not allowed to operate in China, is unbalanced. Something needs to change.”

馬斯克(Elon Musk) 讓我們知道他在這筆黑幕交易中想要什麼：「目前的情況是，Tik Tok 被允許在美國運營，但X 卻不允許在中國運營，這是不平衡的。有些事情需要改變。

… The absurd thing about this whole saga is that Trump was the first one to call for a Tik Tok ban. He tried

……整個故事的荒謬之處在於，川普是第一個呼籲禁止 Tik Tok 的人。他嘗試過
