Nobody is saying that bitcoin is relying on some political campaigns to make headlines or saying that without political endorsement of bitcoin by politicians that bitcoin will not keep breaking new heights, and setting records. No that's not the point, the picture I want you to see here is that bitcoin is gradually earning it's rightful place in the society, years ago there was nothing like politicians saying anything good about bitcoin, but today the story has changed, to the point that someone as big as Donald Trump is now building his political campaigns around bitcoin, saying some actual truth about bitcoin. Even though we can't actually be sure that he won't keep his promises if he wins the presidential election. But it is a win situation to the bitcoin community because bitcoin is gaining more grounds, and people who has been less concerned about bitcoin in the past, are now showing interest. People who probably must have not heard about bitcoin are now becoming aware of it. So either ways bitcoin is not losing here, rather it is gaining!!
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
https://www.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/trump-potentially-declaring-bitcoin-a-strategic-reserve-asset-seen-as-a-watershed-moment-3525595 and even chooses a pro-bitcoin activist J.D Vance as his V.C so all this are some of that factors that helps to boost the awareness of Bitcoin the more so I quite understand the angle you are talking about because it's not as if Bitcoin depends on political influence but they are part of what increases the fame of Bitcoin and more people begins to consider to invest in it.
politics has influence in bitcoin growth don't say it as if you are not sure because if you check properly the factors that help to increase or decrease bitcoin growth, you will come across something like
1 demand and supply 2 market sentiment 3 rumor
4 media and news 5 regulation
and the number 5 which is regulation, falls under government or politics that affect bitcoin. in which ever way you guys put it politics have a role to play in bitcoin growth not saying it as if you are not sure. Donald Trump knows truely that he can use political power to influence the people to vote for him because he knows people love bitcoin. and people believe that if Donald Trump is elected he will do more better this time in making bitcoin popular. and more people will easily transact freely. which Donald Trump would have done when he was in power maybe he reserved bitcoin interest to use it against the next election to capture the minds of other to vote him because he knows more people are bitcoin fan. and when he preach about the father "bitcoin"the children will have no option than to follow. you can see that politics has influence on bitcoin. not only politic, business tycon and celebrity and other influencers has a role to play in bitcoin growth. just like I see the footballer Messi as an ambassador of bitget exchange. that will make most of his fans to use that exchange. so anything is possible in bitcoin growth.
