What do we know or suspect a Trump presidency will mean for broadband?

Net Neutrality, solidified by the 2015 classification of wireline and mobile ISPs as utilities, will certainly be weakened, if not overturned.

Money is going to infrastructure and so we can assume (maybe) that some of that will go to broadband infrastructure to ensure (at some point) that 100% of the US population will have high speed broadband access (wireline or mobile).  The urban/rural divide is huge and Trump has to reward those rural voters who supported him in 2016.
