Did Donald Trump violate IRS rules, by using a charity's money to buy himself a signed football helmet?
Four years ago, at a charity fundraiser in Palm Beach, Donald Trump got into a bidding war at the evening's live auction. The items up for sale: A Denver Broncos helmet, autographed by then-star quarterback Tim Tebow, and a Tebow jersey.
Trump won, eventually, with a bid of $12,000. Afterward, he posed with the helmet. His purchase made gossip-column news: a flourish of generosity, by a mogul with money to burn. "The Donald giveth, and The Donald payeth," wrote the Palm Beach Daily News. "Blessed be the name of The Donald."
But Trump didn't actually pay with his own money.
Instead, the Susan G. Komen organization the breast-cancer nonprofit that hosted the party got a $12,000 payment from another nonprofit , the Donald J. Trump Foundation.

A plaything Trumps 4 Dead Americans even when including a Gay one:-)
I’m laughing at the moron who posted that this shows Trump “stole from breast cancer research.”
Liberals are so stupid.
Gotta laugh, the WAPO’s all out effort to topple the Donald. I wish they would spend at least as 10% of the time on looking into the Clintons et.al. as they do with the 100% on Trump. I’m sure they would find a plethora of scandals. (You do know what a plethora is?)
The dog days of summer.
Getting weaker and weaker as time goes on.
Poor Washington Post, probably can’t afford any real journalists any more.
YEP!! He’s gone and done it....broke the camels back...That’s it for me ...no second serving of pudding/vote for Trump!! (sarc)
Is that sumtin like setting up a foundation in another country having non disclosure laws you need to hide your doings from your home country has laws making certain things illegal ??
Let’s check with the Klintoons, they know how it’s done.... NUFF SAID !
A bunch of desperate f'n arseholes - good luck boy's, you're gonna have more luck getting layed after your gender reassignment then getting Trump off the ticket!
If I run a 5K race for charity, and they give me a T-shirt for participating, is that a crime?
It sounds like this is the same.
It's a "possible", boys! Move those mounds of Clinton toxic waste so's we can get a better look at it!
Clinton @sslamprey David A. Fahrenthold sews his own face onto the tail-end of the Hillary Clinton Human Centipede, again.
As long as they weren’t mining uranium with the helmet, the media will show interest in this story.
The Washington Post is up to its eyeballs in Hillary Clinton toxic sewage, but all they can see is the gum wrapper that Trump might have dropped...
Another Washington Post hit piece.
You know, the kind they aren’t running on Hillary.
Sounds like Trump made another good deal !
I have 2 words for these creeps: Clinton Foundation.
The Washington Post had to swim across a stinking toxic Clinton sewer the size of the Mississippi River to get to the little Trump puddle on the other side so they could "report" on ANOTHER Trump "malfeasance"...
Exactly, that’s a great way of putting it.
I’ve been over at the compo..whoops, WaPo site and those commenters are just looney. Loved the one that put up a link to the about page of the Clinton Foundation to prove that the foundation was for noble efforts!
Yes, they are stupid.
Wouldn’t the Trump foundation’s donors WANT him to distribute the money for good purposes, such as breast cancer?
Washington Post????????!!!!!!!!! right....
Trump a fan of Tim Tebow? I like him better everyday.
