Trump bought a 6ft tall portrait of himself with charity money. We may have found it.

[Jacque67 7,328]

In 2007, Donald Trump spent $20,000 that belonged to his charity the Donald J. Trump Foundation to buy a six-foot-tall portrait of himself, during a fundraiser auction at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.

That purchase was reported Sunday by The Washington Post. Since then, the portrait has been the center of a mystery: what did Trump do with the painting after he bought it?

If Trump did not give the painting to a charity or find a way to use it for charitable purposes he may have violated IRS rules against self-dealing, which prohibit nonprofit leaders from spending charity money on themselves.

On Wednesday, a new clue emerged. A former production manager for the portraits painter told The Post that he had shipped the painting at the request of Trumps wife Melania to Trump National Golf Club, Westchester in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y.

Jody Young, the painters former manager, said that at the time he had spoken directly to Melania Trump about how the painting would be framed and displayed.

Melania criticised some small points later;)

IRS rules bar charity owners from using donations to buy items for themselves, and its possible Trump broke the law, as happened at least one other time with his charity.

A similar occurrence may have taken place in 2012 when the Trump Foundation spent $12,000 to buy a football helmet autographed by former college football star Tim Tebow.

The Trump campaign declined to comment to the Post. Trump has also declined to release his tax returns, making it hard to determine his charitable contributions.
