特朗普在上任前的周末推出了他的加密货币和 Tik Tok 骗局，这两项骗局都是为了让自己、家人和亲信的净资产呈指数级增长，但却不做任何工作，也不为人类创造任何有价值的东西。多年来，他经历过无数的骗局，但这些最终可能是最大的骗局。

… 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.

……特朗普在上任前的周末开始了他的加密货币和 Tik Tok 骗局，这两项骗局都是为了让自己、家人和亲信的净资产呈指数级增长，同时不做任何工作，也不为人类创造任何有价值的东西。多年来，他经历过无数的骗局，但这些最终可能是迄今为止最大的骗局。

… 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 报道称，特朗普持有的新加密货币 80% 的股份经过一天的交易后现在价值 250 亿美元。对于完全不用做任何事的发薪日来说，这还算不错。

… 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.”

……来自 X 上的一个无党派账户，该账户监视并警告公众有关加密货币诈骗的信息：“我签了 24 小时，唐纳德·特朗普已经放弃了可能是加密货币迷因币历史上最大的骗局：$TRUMP。在就任总统前几天，他发行了一枚代币，其中 80% 分配给他，并在接下来的 3 至 12 个月以及整个总统任期内解锁。他想要当总统还是只是为了诈骗？系好安全带，疯狂的时代已经到来。”

… 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.”

......在特朗普的粉丝抱怨他的帖子后，他接着说道：“这个页面几乎是非政治性的，但是当我看到自由世界的未来总统推出一个 80% 分配的模因币时，我会去来谈论它。运用你的大脑，暂时超越你的算法驱动的意识形态。”

… 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?”

......另一位互联网诈骗监控员发布了这样的内容：“在成为总统前 2 天放弃特朗普 memecoin 是一件令人讨厌的工作。新的 SEC/DOJ 保证不会起诉。 80% 的代币在总统任期内归属于内部人士。大多数赔钱的人都是非加密原生的“MAGA”。应该是犯罪，但我想现在犯罪是合法的吧？”

… 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.

……特朗普于 2019 年在 Twitter 上发表了这样的言论：“我不喜欢比特币和其他加密货币，它们不是货币，其价值高度波动且凭空而来。不受监管的加密资产可能会助长非法行为，包括毒品交易和其他非法活动。”但一旦有人向他解释了他如何无所事事就能骗取数十亿美元，他很快就成为了粉丝。

… 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.

......然后特朗普忙于他的Tik Tok骗局，他利用自己的火扮演纵火犯。我上周在本专栏中预测，Tik Tok 将在周六关闭他们的应用程序，让用户感到恐慌，同时指责拜登政府，尽管拜登已经表示他不会执行该禁令。然后特朗普会进来表现得好像他是他们的救世主然后他们会重新打开他们的应用程序，赞扬特朗普，他会声称所有的功劳。

… 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.”

……这正是本周末的情况。 Tik Tok 关闭了自己的应用程序，并于周六晚发表声明称，希望特朗普能够拯救他们。然后在周日早上 7:03，特朗普发帖称：“拯救 TIKTOK！”然后，Tik Tok 重新打开他们的应用程序并赞扬特朗普（他什么也没做）。特朗普随后揭露了他的欺诈行为，这也是整个骗局背后的原因：“我希望美国在一家合资企业中拥有 50% 的所有权。没有美国的批准，就没有TikTok。经过我们的批准，它的价值可达数百亿，甚至数万亿。”

… 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.

......他知道美国政府不允许这样做。这意味着迫使他们将公司 50% 的股份出售给他的亲信，而他从中获得了可观的分成。这就是这里正在发生的事情，同时还试图欺骗数百万 Tik Tok 创作者/用户，让他们相信特朗普拯救了他们的小企业和日常社交媒体体验。

… 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 随后向所有用户发送了这条消息：“感谢您的耐心和支持。在特朗普总统的努力下，TikTok 又回到了美国！”听起来和中国官方媒体发布的有关习近平的内容一模一样。

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

……查理·柯克随后发帖称：“特朗普拯救了 TikTok！ Z 世代选民应该记住这一点。”

… 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.”

埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 让我们知道他在这笔黑幕交易中想要什么：“目前的情况是，Tik Tok 被允许在美国运营，但 X 却不允许在中国运营，这是不平衡的。有些事情需要改变。”

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

……整个故事的荒谬之处在于，特朗普是第一个呼吁禁止 Tik Tok 的人。他尝试过
