情態副詞

It's been clear that the President and his family have been profiting hugely during Mr.

上任第一年裡大賺特賺，這點早就很清楚了。

程度副詞

But today, the New York Times editorial board published an estimate of just how much they've raked in over the past 12 months.

但今天，《紐約時報》編輯委員會公佈了一份估計，說明他們過去12個月到底賺進了多少錢。

By their accounting, it's at least $1.4 billion.

根據他們的帳務計算，至少有14億美元。

Now, that includes income from licensing Trump's name overseas real estate projects, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars from investments in cryptocurrencies.

這包括了授權川普的名字給海外房地產項目的收入，以及在加密貨幣投資上賺進的數億美元。

The money that Amazon paid Melania Trump the family.

亞馬遜支付給梅蘭妮亞·川普的錢，這個家庭。

For a documentary about Melania Trump, New York Times investigative reporter Russ Buettner is here.

關於梅蘭妮亞·川普的紀錄片，紐約時報的調查記者 Russ Buettner 在這裡。

I mean, I studied Donald Trump's finances, including obtaining his tax returns of some colleagues for over a 20 year period.

我研究了唐納·川普的財務狀況，包括取得他一些同事的稅務申報表，時間長達二十多年。

And this amount is really greater than the sum total of everything he made from his inheritance from being on the Apprentice and from all the licensing deals while he was on the Apprentice.

而這筆金額確實比他從繼承、從參加《學徒》節目以及在節目期間所有授權交易中賺到的總和還要多。

It's more than he ever made in his whole life.

這比他一生中賺到的所有錢都多。

I think it's those things were his big profit centers because his business performance was uneven.

我認為那些是他的主要利潤來源，因為他的事業表現起伏不定。

So those three things that require really his golden days, this is more than that all in one year.

所以這三件事，那才是他黃金時期，這一年就超過了。

They're open for business and they've been expanding things on a regular basis, especially into cryptocurrencies.

他們是開放的，而且一直在定期擴張業務，尤其是在加密貨幣方面。

They recently just transformed their social media company into a bitcoin repository company, which is a cryptocurrency.

他們最近剛把他們的社群媒體公司轉型成一家比特幣儲存公司，而比特幣是一種加密貨幣。

And now they're moving that into some sort of power generation company.

現在他們正把這個轉型成某種發電公司。

But they are just rapidly trying to gather every sort of business that they can to monetize his period.

但他們只是在快速地嘗試聚集各種他們能做的生意來將他的時期貨幣化。

這種厚顏無恥的程度令人驚嘆。

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, Donald Trump Jr.

我的意思是，如果我說錯了，唐納·川普二世，請糾正我。

I don't think the club that Donald Trump Jr.

我不認為唐納·川普二世的那個俱樂部。

Set up in Washington, which is like a private members club, which essentially kind of promises access for paying members of the club to government officials and cabinet secretaries.

在華盛頓成立的，那種私人會員俱樂部，基本上是承諾付費會員可以接觸到政府官員和內閣部長。

And that really seems kind of quaint compared to what they're doing in cryptocurrencies, where it looks like over the last year they've personally pocketed the family and a few partners somewhere in the neighborhood of $800 million or more.

相較於他們在加密貨幣領域的作為，這真的顯得有點過時了，看起來過去一年來，他們全家和幾個合夥人，大概自己賺進了八億美元或更多。

這對他們來說是前所未有的財富。

And there's linkage, a lot of linkage between the businesses and places the U.S.

這些生意和美國實際參與的地區之間，有著很多關聯。

美國的外交政策和美國的利益。

I mean, a lot of this money comes, the cryptocurrency money comes to them anonymously.

我是說，很多錢都是匿名進來的，加密貨幣的錢也是。

You can tell that from the exchanges it goes through.

從它經過的交易就可以看出來。

And a lot of it, as you said, comes from countries where they have a real interest in it.

而且就像你說的，很多錢來自對這件事很有興趣的國家。

There's been some direct conflicts, especially with a big deal that came through the United Arab Emirates.

有一些直接的利益衝突，特別是來自阿拉伯聯合大公國的一筆大交易。

They decided to use a Trump cryptocurrency to pay for a $2 billion investment.

他們決定使用川普的加密貨幣來支付一筆20億美元的投資。

Which is, I mean, no, very few people would have chosen to use that particular cryptocurrency.

也就是說，很少有人會選擇使用那種特定的加密貨幣。

It was brand new and struggling and unproven.

它是全新的、 struggling、而且還未被驗證的。

That will put about 80 to 100 million doll in the pockets of the Trumps.

這會讓川普一家賺進大約八千萬到一億美元。

And within a few months, within a few weeks, actually

而且在幾個月內，甚至幾週內，

Trump decided to overturn a policy that had Long rejected the UAE's pleas to get AI computer chips from us because they were thought to be too close to China.

川普決定推翻一項長期以來拒絕阿拉伯聯合大公國請求的政策，該請求是希望從我們這裡獲得 AI 電腦晶片，因為當時認為他們與中國走得太近。

He just did away with that and then pardoned the fellow who was on the other end of the deal.

他就這樣取消了這項政策，然後赦免了與這筆交易相關的另一方人士。

So there's like two conflicts in one deal.

所以這筆交易裡就有兩種利益衝突。

羅斯·布特納今天在紐約時報有報導。

Expanding on the conversation, another data point.

延續我們剛才的討論，再補充一個數據。

President Trump gave the crypto industry its biggest policy win last July when he signed a bill he was pushing to federally regulate a type of cryptocurrency called stablecoins.

川普總統在去年七月簽署了一項他極力推動的法案，要聯邦層級規範一種叫做穩定幣的加密貨幣，這給了加密貨幣產業最大的政策勝利。

I pledged that we would bring back American liberty and leadership and make the United States the crypto capital of the world.

我承諾我們要帶回美國的自由與領導地位，讓美國成為世界的加密貨幣之都。

所以美國的黃金時代已經來臨。

And with today signing the future of crypto and the crypto industry, the US Dollar working together because they really are hand in hand is going to be stronger and bigger and better than ever before.

而今天簽署了加密貨幣的未來，以及加密貨幣產業和美元的合作，因為它們真的緊密相連，將會比以往任何時候都更加強大、更大、更好。

Critics raised conflict of interest concerns given President Trump and his family's vast crypto holdings.

批評者對川普總統及其家人龐大的加密貨幣持有量表達了利益衝突的擔憂。

Joining me now is journalist and co founder of Lift Our Voices, Gretchen Carlson, also CNN political commentators Anna Navarro and David Urban.

現在加入我的是記者、Lift Our Voices 的共同創辦人 Gretchen Carlson，以及 CNN 的政治評論員 Anna Navarro 和 David Urban。

I mean, do they fall into the category of, you know, shocking, not surprising, 1 million, 10 billion?

我是說，這些數字是屬於那種，你知道的，令人震驚，還是意料之中，一百萬，一百億？

I mean, no, not, not necessarily surprising, but, but here's my take on this.

我是說，不會，不一定令人意外，但，但我的看法是這樣。

I don't think his base cares about this because he was already a billionaire on paper, at least when he originally won the first election, they didn't care about that.

我認為他的基本盤不在乎這個，因為他本來就是億萬富翁，至少在他贏得第一次選舉時，他們就不在乎了。

They didn't care about it the next time around.

More importantly, he floods the market with so many news stories on a daily basis that this story has a hard time gaining traction when you're taking over Venezuela, potentially invading Greenland and have ice in Minnesota.

更重要的是，他每天都會釋出這麼多新聞，所以當你在接管委內瑞拉、可能入侵格陵蘭，還有明尼蘇達州有冰的時候，這個故事很難引起關注。

And more importantly, I think that the majority of Americans right now are thinking about the economy.

更重要的是，我認為大多數美國人現在都在關注經濟。

They're thinking about how they're going to afford their groceries at the store the next day.

他們在想明天要去商店買雜貨要花多少錢。

And so, you know, I think Americans are exasperated by everything else that's going on.

所以，你知道的，我認為美國人對正在發生的其他所有事情都感到厭煩。

And I'm not sure that this is the kind of story that people do think people care.

而且我不確定這是不是大家真的會在意的新聞。

I think what was different with this story from the New York Times today is that we have heard trickles of information.

我覺得今天《紐約時報》這篇報導比較特別的地方是，我們一直以來都零零星星地聽到一些消息。

We've heard about the Melania documentary on Amazon.

我們聽說了亞馬遜上的梅蘭妮亞紀錄片。

We've heard about the real estate deals outside of the country.

我們聽說了海外的房地產交易。

But to see it all together and see that it amounts to almost $2 billion claimed when it was Hunter Biden on a board for Burisma or selling paintings, Right, which is like a pittance.

但把這些全部串起來，看到總金額竟然高達近二十億美元，這跟過去杭特·拜登在布里斯馬的經歷，或是賣畫相比，根本是小巫見大巫。

I mean, you're literally talking pennies in comparison to what this grift is.

我的意思是，跟這個詐騙比起來，你們談論的根本是九牛一毛。

They've turned the entire Trump family has turned the White House and the presidency, and

他們把整個川普家族，把白宮和總統職位，還有

not just the Trump family, also some of his cabinet members, into the Home Shopping Network, and

不只是川普家族，還有他的一些內閣成員，都進入了家庭購物網，而且

they are figuring out how to exploit that presidency to line their pockets.

他們正在想辦法利用總統職位來中飽私囊。

I think it is particularly galling and disgusting for him to be claiming that affordability is a hoax.

我覺得他竟然還聲稱可負擔性是個騙局，這點特別令人惱火和噁心。

Well, of course it's a hoax for him because he's out there hawking everything he absolutely can while regular Americans don't have that luxury now, do they?

嗯，對他來說當然是個騙局，因為他正兜售他所能賣的一切，而一般的美國人現在可沒有這種奢侈，對吧？

The New York Times editorial board writes, it's impossible to know how often Mr.

紐約時報的編輯委員會寫道，我們不可能知道川普先生

Trump makes official decisions in part or entirely because he wants to be richer.

在做官方決定時，有多少是部分或完全因為他想變得更富有。

I mean, I remember the president didn't like when the Obama's got a deal with Netflix after they left the White House.

我的意思是，我記得總統不喜歡歐巴馬夫婦離開白宮後和 Netflix 簽約。

Melanie Trump has a deal while she's in the White House with Amazon.

梅蘭妮亞·川普在白宮任職期間就和亞馬遜簽了約。
