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.
I never thought americans were this weak and pathetic. Y'all always screamed about "muh guns" and stuff like that, but now... You're just sitting idly while your new king takes over, even discouraging others to do anything that may upset your supreme ruler?
(To be fair, though I'm not in USA / an American, if we're going to stereotype and generalize unfairly, it seems it's largely the "Muh Guns" folks you refer to that support/vote for Trump and the like).
Because that scary state that you read about in dystopian novels and hear about in dystopian histories is a state that Americans live in at the moment. We are all actually people that are living in an important moment, and should be aware of Normalcy Bias.
