特朗普最新的赚钱举措引起了道德监管机构的警惕

唐纳德·特朗普总统和第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普在他宣誓就职前几天发布了表情包硬币。一场盛大的就职前派对在他公司拥有的一处房产举行。今年春天，由沙特支持的高尔夫锦标赛将在特朗普俱乐部举办。

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump are cashing in on his presidency again.

唐纳德·特朗普总统和第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普再次从他的总统任期中获利。

Just days before he took the oath of office, the Trumps each announced their own cryptocurrency, and a splashy pre-inaugural party was held at a property his company owns. And a Saudi-backed golf tournament is headed to a Trump club this spring.

就在他宣誓就职的前几天，特朗普夫妇各自宣布了自己的加密货币，并在他公司拥有的一处房产中举办了一场盛大的就职前派对。今年春天，由沙特支持的高尔夫锦标赛将在特朗普俱乐部举办。

Trump’s latest money-making moves are raising alarms among ethics watchdogs who say that, just days into his presidency, the Republican appears poised to benefit financially from his final term in office in new and lucrative ways.

特朗普最新的赚钱举措引起了道德监管机构的警惕，他们表示，就任总统几天后，这位共和党人似乎准备以新的、有利可图的方式从他的最后一个任期中获得经济利益。

During his first four years in office, Trump’s team paid “lip service” to ethics guardrails, said Lisa Gilbert, co-president of the liberal group Public Citizen, which this week sued the Trump administration over a separate issue – claiming that Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency is operating in violation of a federal transparency law that governs advisory panels.

自由派团体“公共公民”联合主席丽莎·吉尔伯特表示，在特朗普执政的头四年里，特朗普的团队只是“口头上”遵守道德护栏。该组织本周就一个单独的问题起诉特朗普政府，声称特朗普如此……名为“政府效率部”的机构的运作违反了管理顾问小组的联邦透明度法。

“This time, it feels like the gloves are off, and they have no intention of comporting themselves with the decorum and ethical standards of other administrations,” Gilbert said. “They truly mean to make as much as they can on the backs of the American taxpayer.”

吉尔伯特说：“这一次，他们感觉就像是脱掉了手套，他们无意遵守其他政府的礼仪和道德标准。” “他们确实想在美国纳税人的支持下赚到尽可能多的钱。”

Asked this week by a reporter whether he intended to keep selling products, such as the meme coin, that benefit him personally, Trump said: “I don’t know if it benefited.”

本周，当一名记者问他是否打算继续销售对他个人有利的产品（例如模因币）时，特朗普表示：“我不知道它是否受益。”

The president said he wasn’t aware of exactly how much he had made from the new cryptocurrency, $TRUMP, despite the coin’s value soaring to billions of dollars, according to CoinMarketCap.

据 CoinMarketCap 报道，总统表示，尽管新加密货币“特朗普”的价值飙升至数十亿美元，但他并不清楚自己到底从其中赚了多少钱。

“I don’t know much about it, other than I launched it,” he said. “I heard it was very successful.”

“除了我发起了它之外，我对此了解不多，”他说。 “听说很成功。”

New businesses, new potential conflicts

新业务、新潜在冲突

Eight years ago, as he prepared to enter office for the first time, Trump pledged to address his financial conflicts with great fanfare – appearing at a news conference with lawyer Sheri Dillon alongside piles of documents that Trump said illustrated his extensive labors to turn over the Trump Organization to his sons.

八年前，当特朗普准备首次就职时，他承诺大张旗鼓地解决他的财务冲突——他与律师谢里·狄龙一起出席新闻发布会，旁边还放着成堆的文件，特朗普称这些文件说明了他为移交财务问题所做的大量努力。特朗普组织给他的儿子们。

Ethics watchdogs panned Trump’s moves at the time as inadequate to address self-dealing because he chose not to divest his interests in his branding and real-estate empire or place it in a trust managed by an independent trustee.

道德监管机构批评特朗普当时的举动不足以解决自我交易问题，因为他选择不放弃自己在品牌和房地产帝国中的利益，也不将其置于由独立受托人管理的信托中。

The ethics plan this time around mirrors the commitments Trump made during his first term with one significant difference: His son, Eric Trump – who oversees the Trump Organization day-to-day – has said the company will continue to pursue deals with overseas interests, bypassing a self-imposed restriction made in the first term.

这次的道德计划反映了特朗普在第一个任期内做出的承诺，但有一个重大区别：他的儿子埃里克·特朗普（负责特朗普集团的日常事务）表示，该公司将继续寻求与海外利益集团的交易，绕过第一任期内自我施加的限制。

The younger Trump has said the firm would not pursue new agreements with foreign governments and under the plan released this month, the Trump Organization pledged to track any profits it makes from foreign government entities and donate it to the US Treasury.

小特朗普曾表示，该公司不会与外国政府达成新协议，根据本月发布的计划，特朗普集团承诺追踪其从外国政府实体获得的任何利润，并将其捐赠给美国财政部。

Some deals involving foreign government resources will continue. In April, the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league is scheduled to host a tournament at the Trump family’s Doral resort. The league is backed by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund. This marks the fourth year the event will be held at the Trump property, but it will be the first to take place with Donald Trump in the White House.

一些涉及外国政府资源的交易将继续进行。 4 月，沙特支持的 LIV 高尔夫联盟计划在特朗普家族的多拉度假村举办一场锦标赛。该联盟得到了沙特主权财富基金的支持。这是该活动在特朗普庄园举行的第四年，但这将是第一次在白宫与唐纳德·特朗普一起举行。

The Trump Organization’s second-term ethics plan also is silent on whether Trump would attempt to launch new businesses while in office. Trump announced his meme coin on January 17 as he prepared to enter office. His wife’s $MELANIA cryptocurrency was announced the day before his January 20 inauguration.

特朗普集团的第二任期道德计划也没有提及特朗普是否会在任职期间尝试开展新业务。 1 月 17 日，特朗普在准备就职时宣布了他的模因币。他的妻子的 $MELANIA 加密货币是在他 1 月 20 日就职的前一天宣布的。

Trump Organization officials did not respond to inquiries from CNN.

特朗普组织官员没有回应 CNN 的询问。

“Trump is taking on new conflicts in real time,” said Norm Eisen, a former ethics lawyer in the Obama White House and a prominent Trump critic. “It’s a recipe for an ethics disaster,” particularly given Trump’s power to decide how the federal government will regulate cryptocurrency.

“特朗普正在实时应对新的冲突，”奥巴马白宫前道德律师、著名特朗普批评者诺姆·艾森说。 “这是一场道德灾难的根源”，特别是考虑到特朗普有权决定联邦政府如何监管加密货币。

Eisen warned that Trump’s business activity risks violating the foreign Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution, which bars anyone holding federal office from accepting “any present, emolument, office or title of any kind whatever, from any king, prince or foreign state” without congressional approval.

艾森警告说，特朗普的商业活动可能违反美国宪法的外国薪酬条款，该条款禁止任何担任联邦职务的人在未经国会批准的情况下接受“来自任何国王、王子或外国的任何礼物、薪酬、职位或任何形式的头衔”。赞同。

“Any foreign government that wants to influence Donald Trump can just buy his meme coin in large quantities and let him know that they did,” he said.

“任何想要影响唐纳德·特朗普的外国政府都可以大量购买他的模因币，并让他知道他们这样做了，”他说。

The emoluments question was litigated but not resolved during Trump’s first term. In

在特朗普的第一个任期内，薪酬问题曾被提起诉讼，但并未得到解决。在
