Don spoke this past week in Panama City, FL, promising additional Federal funds to help victims of last October's Hurricane Michael... Friday, the new owner of three FMs in that area (playing country, classic rock, and 80s/90s hits) introduced 2-minute excerpts of Combover speeches once an hour on all of 'em. (The former owner bolted the area after the 'cane knocked out said stations.) To those wondering if equal time rules applied, the owner said they would.  https://www.thewrap.com/3-florida-radio-stations-to-air-2-minute-trump-speeches-every-hour-through-2020-election/ (link)

And, now that they're again outputting on FM, the cluster of stations usually called the "Talk Of Connecticut" are secondarily rebranding as "Trump 103.3". (Connoisseur, who is selling a cluster here in the Lehigh Valley to Cumulus, unloaded these to current owner John Fuller in 2018)

It's a business experiment. If you take the Trump brand without Trump actually managing it into the ground will it still fail?
