PERSONAL FOUL: Trump Used Charity Money To Buy Tim Tebow Helmet

[Lakhota]

Good grief.. we're gonna have to put you whackaloons on suicide watch,

The thousand ways RWnuts like you try to shield Trump from criticism. Very amusing.

NaziCons love to dish it out - but they have a hard time receiving it.

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.

Trump himself sent no money. (In fact, a Komen spokesperson said, Trump has never given a personal gift of cash to the Komen organization.) He paid the bill with money from a charity he founded in 1987, but which is largely stocked with other people's money. Trump is the foundation's president. But, at the time of the auction, Trump had given none of his own money to the foundation for three years running.

Well, this certainly sounds unethical - if not criminal. This fits in with all the other reports about Trump misusing campaign funds for his various businesses. Who would want a Tim Tebow helmet? Shady stuff...

Did he get Americans murdered?
Did he have a war started with Libya?
Did he have a war started with Syria?
Did he let foreign governments see Top Secret Intel?

Trump is an ass, but this is petty shit.

We need to immediately put a congressional panel together to get to the bottom of Helmetgate. This could get ugly folks.

If Hillary did it - they would. Don't you care about Trump's lies and dishonestly?

You're pathetic. Into your third bottle of 'firewater' already? Riding the cotton pinto?
You are the perfect example of why your race could never compete with the White race.
You're too fucking stupid. And you can't fix stupid squaw.

Weeeeeeeee! Deflect and misrepresent. Loser.

if you had donated to his foundation you would probably have a different view.

 

[mikegriffith1]

Seriously? Hillary's foundation rakes in over 70% in "overhead" costs and spends less than 30% on charities, but you start a thread over a football helmet?!

How about the numerous coincidences when Hillary would meet with foreign governments and, poof, a leader in those governments would donate money to the Clinton Foundation? Gosh, how about that, hey?

But, of course, we both know that you couldn't care less about Democratic corruption.

Just more distorted NaziCon bullshit.

Rush Limbaugh says Clinton Foundation spends just 15 percent on charity, 85 percent on overhead

Our ruling

Limbaugh said "85 percent of every dollar donated to the Clinton Foundation ended up either with the Clintons or with their staff to pay for travel, salaries, and benefits. Fifteen cents of every dollar actually went to some charitable beneficiary."

There’s a grain of truth here -- roughly 85 percent of the foundation’s spending was for items other than charitable grants to other organizations, and a large chunk of this 85 percent did go to Clinton Foundation staff for travel, salaries and benefits. However, the foundation says it does most of its charitable work in-house, and it’s not credible to think that the foundation spent zero dollars beyond grants on any charitable work, which is what it would take for Limbaugh to be correct.

The claim contains some element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression, so we rate it Mostly False.
