I really wouldn't use Donald Trump as an example character model...

I'm not OP but I imagine they might be thinking that Trump will find a way to punish it, with him being a fascist and all. Just imagine you'd had done this with Hitler in 1932. By 1934 your life would basically be over.

My guess is that it would cause people like myself who intensely dislike him to avoid your technology because of the association.

If I don't like it, I won't show it to my boss, he won't see it, and our company won't use your technology.

Same could be said for showing Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris for the other side, or Putin or Kim Jong Un or Mohammad and Jesus

A smart tactic would be to avoid sensitive figures in general if your goal is to have your technology adopted by a wide audience.
