One thing I believe is that Donald Trump needs the Crypto-currency world more than the Crypto-currency world needs Donald Trump.

I don't see how the opposite could be true meaning how the crypto world needs the US government! Things were fine before for over a decade without needing any centralized government intervening.

I don't see this as new though, because market manipulation has always been there ,mostly they used to control and manipulate the market prices with their policies and rates.

That's true, but this time I believe the US government is going to be actively trying to manipulate the market to actually earn money from it which is the scary part.

It would be smart if Trump was doing that actually. He is trying to attract wealthy investors to the US but it won’t be enough to cover the US national debt. If he decides to use btc to pay off the US debt, he’ll have to pump btc to the moon first because I don’t think the US gov has enough bitcoins. I know they own thousands of btc but the debt was what, something like 37 trillion usd? That’s lots of money. They’ll have to get every btc they can get their hands on first and then the price will go above a million. That’s what I am guessing at least.

I think the budget deficit ($1.8 trillion) is the bigger and more immediate issue and as I said in OP when they are begging for $5 million handouts, they surely can consider the crypto market as one of the sources of revenue as well.
