Putting politics and people's personal preference aside, I don't understand how this domain doesn't have any value, despite being .net extension. It describes a future event with almost 100% happening predictability and millions of people following, including advertisers, friends, enemies, trolls, spies etc. Kinda like having apocalypse.net or winter2020.net with some chance of post event survival😁.
In my opinion, it would be worth developing the name. Trump's followers and/or haters wouldn't care nor understand the .net
domain extension if it serves as a platform to express opinions or sell merchandise. There is also an implied meaning to the 20 20 expression which would add value.

Past sales and currently active sites are the biggest predictors of future sales.

So with that being said (and I ask this with honest curiosity, not having done a lot of research myself)... is there a history of these types of sites being sold or used for profit? Is there such a thing as presidential candidate merchandise sites that are not controlled by the candidate themselves?

I'm just trying to picture who the buyer of this name would be... And why are they buying it?

From a Publisher of the book/documentary on 2020 elections or events in general to a die-hard fan to a quick profit maker to Trump to prevent headaches in the future and possibly monetize, maybe nobody, who knows. It could possibly draw traffic with some content and generalize income, there are smart people who do this all over the internet.
Name Trump is copyrighted for many industries and products is copyrighted, but trump2020 isn't. Being a public figure now, shifts the line of what is acceptable in editorial usage. If you take a photo of Trump yourself, you are free to publish it in any editorial context as a content creator, but you can't sell the image associated with a product (like selling a bicycle and calling it Trump), but you can sell if the image itself is the product, as prints or t-shirts etc.
There are reported sales on namebio with Trump, as slogans mostly.

Yeah, I get it... There are lots of creative ideas for who could use the name and what they could do. My concern is that these are rainbow unicorn fantasies. I'm looking for real evidence of people who not only run the types of sites you're mentioning, but pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a .net name to run the site on.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter how many great ideas there are to go along with a name. All that matters is if you own the type of name people actually buy. And in my mind this one has a lot of strikes against it:
  • it's .net
  • there are very few reported name+year sales
  • limited uses because of TM issues; and:
  • limited pool of users because of those TM issues

Your analysis is very valid.

You are right. Trump2020.net could be worth thousands in the near future, then it will go downhill from there.

Prove us wrong! Would love to see you make a big sale from it.

Sites created for a specific event are made to make as much as possible money, after that the site is closed. Why would someone invest/waste money on a specific domain when any other TLD will do the same job?

To get your analysis of worth you will need to track things that you will/may not want to track.

Listen, you can keep your insults to yourself. You asked for opinions and I provided mine.

Best of luck with the name.
