“Trump, however, has also repeatedly hinted at a side deal with Skydance after a New York Post report indicated the company would allocate between $15 million and $20 million for such ads once it acquires Paramount.

“We did a deal for about $16 million plus $16 million—or maybe more than that in advertising," he told reporters earlier this month. “So it’s a combination of 16 plus 16 ... So it’s like $32 to maybe $35 million. I think that’s what they did.””
