Just because he didn't support Bitcoin before doesn't make him a wrong candidate, neither does it mean he can't change. People tend to misunderstand Bitcoin at first and always oppose the idea of cryptocurrency in general, until they really get to understand it. Take a look at some well known figures that publicly spoke against Bitcoin and how they later changed after they got to learn and understand what Bitcoin is all about. I believe Trump is on that path of understanding right now. May the best candidate win.
It is not only about BTC but he was also involved for other hassles. That gives him a bad name for the majority. People still change as they say, so I guess you are right that we can try to give this man a chance and he can start it with BTC by adopting it and spreading its word. It's true that as a beginner, it's normal to misinterpret it but what is only wrong is if they will make a public statement. This triggers us who support BTC easily because people who are not yet here might get discouraged from entering.
when have you ever heard trump say that he holds a sizeable investment in bitcoin? he doesn't care about bitcoin at all!
They think he does now because of these positive stuffs that we are seeing and there is no need for a BTC investor to showcase how much BTC they hold because they think they are braggy with it and it can also give them a protection from the bad guys.
