The reddit discussion appears to be three months old. If you visit the domain now, it appears to be a godaddy parking domain. So, perhaps the resolution was that the poster let it expire, and now basically nobody has it?

A quick cruise around variations on "trumpsucks.com", "trumpsucks.net", "notrump.com", and other such domains shows no clear pattern to me in ownership, each being owned by what appears to be a different person, all clearly not owned by the "THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION" that owns trump.com.

It seems like this may be exactly what it seems; an organization believing that people will be fooled into thinking that "trumpd.com" is sourced from THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION. It seems to me that despite the apparent politically-charged subject matter, that this is just a standard trademark dispute. Which I say without reference to whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. (With the explosion of TLDs it's probably becoming an irrelevant thing; only the very largest organizations are going to be able to keep up with this sort of thing in the full DNS space anymore.)

The OP doesn't state what the TLD is, but it seems clear it is not a .com

> I own a domain name that has the domain root "trumpd" (so the full domain is like www.trumpd.xx)

I decided to browse through the list of TDLs to see if anything funny matched up.

trumpd.one

trumpd.id

trumpd.hk

trumpd.ck

trumpd.ie

trumpd.ar - My personal favorite. The app would alert you when Donald Trump is close by.
