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.

Hillary sacrificing our national security and trading government favors to enemies for per$onal gain? Threatening officials to stay out of jail? No problem.
Trump getting a helmet from a charity? Well, he doesn’t have the right character to be President, clearly.
Cankles is the politics equivalent of Bette Midler for these Postie gay Bobs...
Bwa ha ha ha. Oh, Washington comPost. You’re hilarious!!!
Bingo.
A democrat can eat a baby, live on TV, and the news media will cheer her and tell us the infant had it coming.
A conservative can sit quietly in a church and the news media will call for his impeachment for loitering.
Man I just kissed your butt on another thread and now I have to do it again!
This post wins the webs.
TRUMP EATS PUPPIES!
Umm, sorry, Obama already did that.
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...
I attended functions where businesses were involved in charity auctions.... then took tax deductions on the money spent. For a foundation to do the same appears to me to be completely legal. I assume the Trump foundation owns the helmet and in turn can donate it or whatever.
so he donated the football to charity....so they could sell it....?

WaPo has their collective knickers in knots! How much fun can I possibly have before the election?
;^)
Charities give to other charities all the time. I didn’t see a big commotion when the cancer society donated money to Planned Parenthood...
“How many folks have been tricked/fooled into supporting a particular charity only to find that 98% of the “gatherings” have gone for admin purposes? I’m thinking a LOT of people.”
I was a couple times. Then I started checking online. Easy to do! There are several charity rating sites.
On Anagrammer; enter Washington Post will give one * Wasting Protons*.
Apropos!
Trump makes a $12,000 donation to charity and gets smeared by the WAPO. How much money has the WAPO given to anybody?
Yup. Ussd them myself.
As I recall in 2008’the WaPo really dug into Hussein’s background.
Spit.
Why don’t we buy this paper? It’s probably losing money every year, we can probably get it for 10 bucks.
will it could be argued that whatever the Washington Post pays these writers could be classified as Charity. They certainly hadn’t done anything worthy of a paycheck.
