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.

She paid over $325,000.00 for a case (24 each) extra size designer tampons with government money. Only problem was that their were rolls of paper towels instead! BoY! Did she and the taxpayers get ripped off or what?
So his charitable foundation gave to a charitable cause? That’s it bring on the tar and feathers.
I’m upset that it was abortion mongering Susan G but they hid it better back then.
Hey WAPO, two words, Clinton Foundation, say it with me now, Clinton Foundation.
Compost butt-hurt, rising.
The Washington Post Nazi propagandists ought to worry more about getting arrested for treason and crimes against the American people. Their fascist hero, Julius Streicher, didn’t make it out of the Nuremberg trials alive.
Tebow endorsed Trump. This is his way of thanking Tebow and standing up for him while Tebow is under media attack.
