For me I like what trump is doing whether his intentions towards bitcoin is pure or not. If truly he is not a fan of bitcoin but claiming to be right now, even if he wins the presidential sit I don't think he will go against cryptocurrency, maybe to come up with bad policies that may affect the regulation of bitcoin. No matter what Donald trump may have about bitcoin, but the truth of the matter is that history has it there was a time when trump was a fan of bitcoin and I don't care if it is genuine or not. With what he is doing to with bitcoin trying to gain support from the crypto community I doubt if he will go against bitcoin in the future if he becomes president again.
From how I see things, he's putting on a show to make an impression towards the public as an innovation adopter. I find it hard to believe that during his presidency, he was claiming that Bitcoin is a scam or a bubble about to burst, but now he's actively promoting it during his presidential campaign. There are two scenarios: one, he genuinely changed his mind and realized that he was in the wrong, or two, it's a show in an effort to attract more voters. I'm tilting towards the second.

I will be more impressed if he do it on regular days like there's no election coming. Since for what he did its like he just wanna sell out those things what he do to his bitcoin then gather lots of exposure or create some impression that he's really supporting bitcoin. But since he do it on these days which he need votes of people so provably that this kind of actions is just for his political exposure.
He provably want to be visible to bitcoin user and show something that he use bitcoin then would provably support it under his term. Although this is really crazy but let see what will happen next to it since for sure we could provably see more of this kind of act especially election day in US will happen in November. So politician will double their efforts to convince people to vote them.
I think other people will also impress if he do that on regular days to show his interest to Bitcoin and want to learns more about Bitcoin. We don't know if people will gives their support and votes for him or not because that will not easy to gets that even after what he did. He needs to do more things to gain more attention from people so they will gives votes for him.He provably want to be visible to bitcoin user and show something that he use bitcoin then would provably support it under his term.

The politicians will do all things to get support and vote from people because that is what happens from a long time ago. We don't know what next that he will do to get support and vote from people but he will do something that is different than the other candidates.

We don't know yet what will he do to Bitcoin. Besides that, we also don't know if his intentions towards Bitcoin is pure or not or just want to gains attention from the people so they will gives their votes to him. His policies can change after he becomes a new president because he will see the current situation and adapt his policies so that can work with the situation. We will see what may happen later after the election is ends and know who will be the new president and hopefully, that will help crypto to be more popular than now and more people will participate in the crypto.
Just like actors, they'll act to get the attention of people. He literally targeting people who's into crypto 
Basically, Trump is the first US president to make a successful bitcoin payment, yet it'll be appalling if bitcoiners are forcing the whole process down his throat. From your response, the president may just be doing all this because he wants the community to vote for him. I'm 90% sure he wouldn't do all that when he climbs to the throne as president of America. For now, he's like any other investor showing out his excitement for bitcoin, could it be that the memory he's creating with bitcoiners would make impact to his behavior as a leader of America, we may not have been hearing him talk repeatedly about weapons and security in America.
Trump's Agenda is to make America great again, he rarely talks about bitcoin in his campaigns. The last time I watched him speak, it was all revolving around war, nuclear weapon, military, etc. However, should bitcoin be on his agenda, it's the least of what he's thinking about.
"Trump using Bitcoin to buy hamburgers feels like a marketing stunt, right? While the symbolism is interesting, it's clear that he's trying to connect with Bitcoiners. But let's be real, it's not Trump who's doing the heavy lifting on the transaction. It makes for good headlines but maybe not the most authentic connection to the crypto community!"
I understand what trump is doing and on a brighter side his action will have effect on both is campaign and also affect bitcoin because the relevance of bitcoin will increase and it will definitely show in value, when the value is doing well that is what people love seeing essentially does that have been holding and when ever their is an increase they sell off the profit and continue with the capital, when you have financial understanding you will also have less financial problems. And buying a hamburger with bitcoin just makes everything more interesting I know some part of government might not like what trump did but trump all the way and their is no any other president thay have initiated this or associated with bitcoin except for El Salvador president.
The authentic connection those not matter what matters is the fact that he even decided to do this and it will even given bitcoiners a peace of mind know fully that when he becomes president their more opportunities that will come through him because of his influence and that is one of the major reasons that people are even happy that trump did what he did it was a brave step and we hope to see more president doing exactly and even encouraging young once.
Trump’s Bitcoin Transaction Makes History at NYC Crypto Bar – Will This Sway Voters?
I put it in quotation marks because he doesn't make it, it has to be made for him. Although it may have significant symbolism, a former US president and presidential candidate using bitcoin to buy some hamburgers, which he then handed out.
He is clearly trying to win the vote of bitcoiners but he could learn a bit more about it by now.

Trump that can't differentiate between Bitcoin wallet address and Ethereum wallet addresses
Such a kind gesture of him to display love for Bitcoin but I see this as nothing but political ass licking of Bitcoin community. Why hasn't he do this all this while, he has good 4 years to show all this love he is showing now to the Bitcoin community individually but he is doing it now that the election is around the corner and I don't blame him but the people that gave him the platform.In 3 months now, this showbiz will be over. If he win that's when we are going to see the real him and how he is going to just forget about all this he has been for Bitcoin. Some people are going to say some of us don't like Trump his Bitcoin stuff but the fact that he was there and never care, he doesn't deserve it now, most of what he is doing now are scripted to appease the community.

It seems for now he is very determined to make it seem as if he is a bitcoiner lol.I put it in quotation marks because he doesn't make it, it has to be made for him.

Saying symbiosis is clearly a win-win condition regardless of whether his intentions are temporary or indeed remain supportive of bitcoin in the end but when talking about elections is this too forced
I mean does it really have to be like this to show that he is a bitcoin holder and will indeed work to improve the welfare of bitcoin just for votes. It's too obvious that he's still trying his best to garner votes from bitcoin holders but doing the first transaction so convincingly and in the presence of journalists is still very funny to me lolHe is still quite active to convince himself that hopefully this will not change direction regardless of whether he loses or wins later in the election because it will be very funny when he is currently so vocal with bitcoin ownership but when he loses he immediately changes course to become an opponent again.
He is clearly trying to win the vote of bitcoiners but he could learn a bit more about it by now.
Of course that is his final goal, just like any other politician he would do whatever it takes in order to get more votes. I really don't like Trump but besides shows like this one he's actually open to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, he has an opposite view compared to Harris and the rest of her party. I don't know how many crypto holders will vote for him but for sure he got them thinking now. 
Politicians are movie actors. They take any acting role to get the support they need. Trump was criticised for not owning or using the currency he is promoting. Maybe this was why he had to do a public display of his first use of Bitcoin.
This is what I also think. They can do anything they want to get sympathy and support from the audience. Even they will do something that they deny before just to get benefit from what they do. The audience should be smart to act and can know what they should choose. If Trump want to get support, he needs to do a lot because making a first transaction in Bitcoin doesn't mean audience will really know what Trump did. Maybe that can affect to the market but we don't know for sure. But thanks to Trump because he know the "name" of Bitcoin because of that 
What good is wealth if you are not going to enjoy it?
If you can't enjoy your wealth unless you buy yourself a lambo, then you probably need to lower your standards to live a happy life. The more in life are hidden in the less. With a mindset like that Even if you own a million bitcoins it won’t make any difference on your life.
If your stack allows spending a small fraction to buy a lambo, then just go for it. But if you're... you know, not a whale, then you need to economize, like regular human beings. If you can't see any difference with better health, education, and by dedicating to doing the things you like, with the people you love, then we probably need to end this conversation here. 
What you gonna do when everybody acknowledge bitcoin though, I didn’t hear your answer? Will you abandon bitcoin?
Let me put it this way: I'm the guy you'll sell your bitcoin to when you'll have "hodled enough" to buy that lambo.That’s not an answer. Me buying a lambo with my btc doesn’t necessarily mean I am abandoning bitcoin. One might buy a lambo with his bitcoins and still have lots of coins in his wallet.
What good is wealth if you are not going to enjoy it? That’s as bad as owning zero bitcoins. With a mindset like that Even if you own a million bitcoins it won’t make any difference on your life.
People buy/sell bitcoin because they acknowledge its importance. Since you don’t want to be on the same side with the majority what you gonna do?
Lol, he's using everything in his disposal at this point. He probably thinks wtf he's doing at that moment, but yeah, more people get to hear about Bitcoin being used as a currency.
You've got to respect his urge to earn Bitcoiners' votes. He clearly earned them. I don't have the evidence, but if I had to guess, the overwhelming majority of Bitcoiners lean to the right, and would immediately sell their souls to a "pro-Bitcoin" politician, if that'd pump their bags. Which is yet another argument on why following majority is a bad decision!
Leveraging on BTC is a key point to get humanity attention, BTC is the most universally used crypto currency. He made a very right step by leveraging and giving relevance to the crypto space. BTC to the world You've got to respect his urge to earn Bitcoiners' votes. He clearly earned them.

Let me put it this way: I'm the guy you'll sell your bitcoin to when you'll have "hodled enough" to buy that lambo. Trump will take bitcoin to the moon and the hodlers will drive lambos and fly jets.
So you're trading bitcoin for a bunch of luxurious crap. Spoken like some truly weak hands. I don't want a lambo, nor flying jets. These are shallow desires, rooted in insecurity. Material achievement is a shitcoin philosophy. You know what's Bitcoin? Understanding the importance of lowering your time preference. Focus on becoming competent in what you do, helping others, and staying true to yourself. And have no fucking reliance on politicians would be Chapter 1.
Are you telling me, you are in it for the tech? Never cared about the price? Yeah right.

If you were a businessman or politician, I bet you would do things like him or like other celebrities. You will always take advantage of every opportunity, anytime, anywhere in life to attract crowds and benefit yourself. You can only stop doing those ridiculous things when you have achieved your goals.
Likewise, why do I, you and everyone invest in bitcoin? We will not use bitcoin, will not support it to become more popular if it does not bring us any benefits. Humans are like that, they only support or care if it benefits them, otherwise no one would spend time and effort focusing on something without expecting any benefits.
If they do not use tricks and take advantage of every opportunity and participate in the election in a transparent manner. Those people are not politicians and can never win the trust of the people and win. Politics is like that, lies, tricks, there is nothing that is not dared to do as long as the goal is achieved.
If you think that Trump is silly, please watch this: Kamala Harris Explaining The Cloud Storage
Both of them are terrible in their own unique way. This is why I've pitied Americans at least since 2020 that their System forces them to choose from are two of the worst people for the job!Well, people in power would have someone to handle each task they need, so it's not surprising that someone else is handling the phone and making the transaction on his behalf.
That's true but at the end of the day this is an advertisement. He could have put a little effort into it and "faked it" at the very least. 
In any case, this is a positive news for bitcoin even if it doesn't change anything for this silly candidate who doesn't even know how to use bitcoin and has to have someone handle the phone even...
This is basically free advertisement for Bitcoin and it reaches a lot of people introducing bitcoin to them as a currency that they can easily use.
Perfectly said, Bitcoin this year is witnessing its highest level of recognition, judging base on the fact that United States is the world-leading country, with their USD hegemony, now seeing that the former US president, Donald Trump adopted and has done some transactions using Bitcoin, is actually sending a strong message across the world regarding adoption.This is basically free advertisement for Bitcoin and it reaches a lot of people introducing bitcoin to them as a currency that they can easily use.
However, despite that, the Bitcoin market has already started recovering this week on before this news yesterday, I think the news has also helped in the price going up, boosting investors confidence as what to expect if Donald Trump wins the election.

Spoken like a true no coiner.
Trump will take bitcoin to the moon and the hodlers will drive lambos and fly jets.
Have fun staying poor blackhatnocoiner
What you gonna do when the majority of the world population support bitcoin? Dump your bags? Haha
Funny how he knows bitcoin can generate a large population of supporters if only he could buy the mind of bitcoin enthusiasts. I still don’t know what most people will think about this but, definitely he’s doing this to gain more supporters from my view tho. I just love how they know the value of bitcoin even if they try to push bitcoin away there’s always something good at the end, this is a popular trick majority of candidates display for example, they go for what the masses want playing the favorite card.
I am not sure if he really fully understand how to use Bitcoin or other things but I guess he just want to attract more attention from Bitcoin user to support and vote for him. That should makes us Bitcoin user not to directly believe 100% of what he will do because we need to wait for what he will do after he make that moment. I think he is better to retired from anything he did and enjoy his wealth that he got before while he can enjoy his old age with his family and forget about the will to be the president. That will better for him and his family because people will know that he is not ambition to elected. But we can not say like that because he still want to have more power to run his plan which no other knows for sure.I will be more impressed if he do it on regular days like there's no election coming. Since for what he did its like he just wanna sell out those things what he do to his bitcoin then gather lots of exposure or create some impression that he's really supporting bitcoin.
