I'll support and hold my TRUMPS no matter what the community decides. chicken65, I wasn't meaning to make your role more stressful, or to split the community, or fill your inbox with more of my essays (the forum got a summarized reader's digest version of my last one!). Nor was I trying to sound disrespectful by comparing the community to "half a dozen guys circle jerking over their hoard of coins". Just saying that moves like this can make outsiders perceive a community as such.
I have seen coins make moves like this before, and it ends up alienating far more people than it pleases. When we see the price of a coin lower than we believe it should be, it is tempting to jump to cutting the supply as a solution. When in reality, often the problem isn't that supply is too high, it is that demand is too low. If that is the case here, cutting supply achieves nothing but driving away fence sitters and potential new investors, which further reduces demand.
Do not discount the importance of community and the network effort that comes along with it.
chicken65, in the end, this is your coin. It wouldn't even exist if you didn't take the initiative to get it this far. Ultimately, it is your decision and you can't please everyone. I'll stick around and hold my coins even if you make a decision that I don't agree with. I don't agree with Trump on everything, but I still support him.
Maybe see what comes up in the thread, and if the community seems split, hold a poll on the top 2-3 proposals? I will list my proposal here and leave it up for discussion.

God Emperor Trump wins general election.
January 20, 2017
Trump sworn into office and ascends to his throne on Inauguration Day.
January 21, 2017
Glorious Leader Trump, through executive order, closes the federal reserve and deems TRUMP coin as the new official currency of the United States. chicken65 reveals that his true identity is Donald Trump Jr., and this was the plan all along. chicken65 transfers 500,000 TRUMP coins from the premine to his father which will be used to fund construction of a 100 foot tall solid adamantium wall on Mexico/US border.
HAHA, Good stuff
But God Emperor Trump may not even be allowed to recieve the nomination. Dark forces are at work flying around in private jets collududing to stop him.
So, what Im thinking is leave the specs as they are for now
The negative side of this I cant approach Trump favourable press whilst the coin sits in the doldrums
So for now we just wait
