You've made some good points here because ever since the news about Donald Trump acknowledging Bitcoin in some of his speech has also made the price of Bitcoin experience some significant gains lately since the price movements relies on several factors which means for the fact that Donald Trump who was a previous critics of Bitcoin is now coming open to say positive words about Bitcoin even to the extent of having the intentions of declaring bitcoin as a strategic reserved asset as seen in this link

I think people are not really paying attention to how much global politics can influence the price movement of some assets including Bitcoin. It may not be all that drives the market but market do respond to those news due to market speculations and uncertainties. So political news impact on the market but usually dissipate quickly most times, hence the reason I consider it as a tool for short term traders.
As a long term investor, the news might not make much difference to of unless when we position ourselves to take advantage of whatever the market throw at us after the news. For instance, if the market dips after the news release, it becomes an opportunity to buy more but if the market pumped after the news, it becomes an opportunity to hold tight.
