In the US, our only friends are Judges that understand and are willing to apply to the Constitution to laws enacted to harm the industry.
But between the two, Trump (who appeared in Playboy, paid pornstars for sex and actually distributed porn in his hotels) is far less scary that a career District Attorney who prosecuted Backpage and pushed for FOSTA-SESTA.
Past behavior is the best indicator for future behavior.

Kind of like how Trump was a registered democrat starting in 2001 for eight years prior to his presidency? And prior to that (while he happened to be a registered republican before switching to dems and then switching back), he donated money to Kamala Harris:
"State records show that Trump donated US$6,000 ($9,107) in total to the then-California attorney-general [Kamala Harris]'s campaign — US$5,000 ($7,589) in September 2011 after she was first elected, and another US$1,000 ($1,518) in 2013."

As for Fosta Sesta it was ushered in by the House of Representatives with a vote of 388–25 and the Senate with a vote of 97–2
So you're right about your first point. Every politician is a danger to porn/sex work. Essentially no politician had a problem with that legislation. Far from being only Kamala or the left.
Not to mention the bill was signed into law by Trump!
She's also not behind Project 2025 which has language in regards to banning online porn.
Will that happen under a Trump administration? Doubtful that would happen at all under any administration. But as steps are taken to remove certain websites (backpage), criminalizing certain aspects of the industry is possible.
He's got the supreme court in his pocket. What is going on with women's reproductive rights and safety is atrocious.
