There is a mandate to eliminate 100LL aviation fuel by 2030. Right now there is no viable substitute, and six years seems very short to get all the fuel manufacturing, distribution, and delivery changed over to whatever emerges.
Is anyone here concerned about this? I keep thinking of buying a bigger, faster aircraft, but with the looming fuel issue that may not be wise. It may eventually get sorted out, but there may also be a lot of grounded aircraft for a while.

Maybe send Trump a message about it and he can undo whatever got that ban in place?

Depending on how big and fast you might not have a problem. Turbos don't use 100LL.
And if you are willing to change/update some of your seals and o-rings, G100UL works well in our big bore engines. But try to keep it off your paint.
I'm not worried.
