I don't think the international readers here on the forum fully understand just what sort of divisive figure Trump is.

From my perspective, Donald Trump is a white supremacist. He has no respect for people of other races, and his criminal records make him the wrong candidate for the presidency. An individual who can invade tax and pay bribes to silence people shouldn't be trusted. His proposed policy of sending immigrants back to their country will fail because he would face stiff opposition from the lawmakers and the court.

By tying Bitcoin to Trump, many are building a brand name for Bitcoin that will be both extremely detrimental to its long-term growth, and very hard to get rid of: Bitcoin will be known as a "Trump thing" for a very long time, if not forever. This is a disaster.

Trump is tying his political dreams with Bitcoin and not the other way. His ambition will not hurt Bitcoin's reputation because Bitcoin is just a currency. Can the dollar be seen as a "Biden thing" or the pound's "Starmer thing"?

The Bitcoin community should, at minimum, stay out of US politics. But insofar as members do, they should support the moderate status quo in Washington that was present when Bitcoin doubled in value over and over again--in other words, support VP Harris for president and the Democrats.

Do we have anything formal group called the Bitcoin community? Bitcoin is decentralized and cannot be related to a group of people sitting in a so-called Bitcoin Conference. Those people supporting or donating Bitcoin to his campaign are businessmen who will want his favor when he makes it to the White House. If you survey on this topic, you might be shocked that many people see Trump's move as politically motivated and not for the good of the Bitcoin space.
