With or without pro-crypto people around, we would still see a new ATH - it would be just brewed longer by the market and events on it.
You are making a good point, and I've been of that disposition too. Let Bitcoin be Bitcoin, regardless of who the president of the United States is. Bitcoin didn't have the permission of the US president when it was at $5, and grew to the insane level it is now. The Bitcoin community is large and self-sufficient, that's what we should all be looking at above all other things. This will reduce the heartbreak if the so-called president disappoints.
But we should not deny their role and influence on bitcoin and its development.
The government's role towards Bitcoin has been more negative than positive, and here we are, Bitcoin continues to survive. Thanks not to the government but the huge Bitcoin community, so let's not misrepresent facts.

Bitcoin is just a financial market, its rise and fall depends on the cash flow of the market and the United States is the country that controls the world financial market as well as the largest market in the world. Don't deny their role and influence.

No doubt that the top world countries' actions affect Bitcoin, especially the US, because Bitcoin is paired with the greenback (BTC/USD). But has that been the reason for Bitcoin to skyrocket over the years? Heck No! Like I said, thanks to the diehard community of Bitcoin that sustained it to this time, and also attracts more adoption.
