I am not American and I could really care less what their politics is like or who wins but I am pretty sure the mention of crypto and their plans to "defend" it are just a way to gain support from crypto enthusiasts. politicians love to say almost everything to gain support from the people and when they are finally voted into a seat they love to ignore what they promised.
What I saw there is too good to be true, no where in the world has the government taking their attention away from complete surveillance from citizens transactions. This is politicians just been desperate to capture power and as opportunists they just know the right trending attraction to use under the right circumstance.
I am not an American citizen either, but I do have the guts that the Republican under Trump have greater positive intent for crypto than any other party right now, it's possible that they can grant right to citizen to self custody of asset but what am not very convinced about is that, if they will be willing to grant that free surveillance and regulation of transactions without including hiding clauses should they eventually capture state power. Politicians are never straightforward with words.
