The 10 year old domain TrumpForPresident.com closed at $1,526 yesterday afternoon. Only 7 bidders participated in the auction which GoDaddy valued at $3,548.
The domain had been under privacy for years, the last known registrant was a Jeff Nesler who seems to dabble in political domains, he owned Politics2012.com at the time and Politics2016.com, 2012 was caught by DropCatch and is now a parked page, 2016 dropped. He had registered BarackObamaForPresident.org way back in 2004.

I wonder if he tried to sell the name to the campaign and they had no interest, and if $1,526 was just a waste of money if that indeed is the case.
On the flipside opponents of the sitting President might have plans to use the domain for other purposes.
*Keep posts on topic, the other post about GoDaddy taking down a website had political connotations to it, so we allowed political discussion. This post is just about the domain name, not healthcare, immigration, your political views, etc…
