They said this painting was a charitable depiction of Trump. I didn't know they meant it literally.



The story:

https://www.rawstory.com/2016/09/trump-picked-his-bogus-charitys-pocket-to-buy-20k-painting-of-himself/

According to a bombshell report from the Washington Post, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump not only doesn’t contribute any of his own money to his charity The Trump Foundation, he also used $20,000 of donor money to buy a six-foot painting of himself.

"I sense great vulnerability. A man-child crying out for love. An innocent orphan in the post-modern world."

"I see a parasite. A sexually depraved miscreant who is seeking only to gratify his basest and most immediate urges."

"His struggle is man's struggle. He lifts my spirit."

"He is a loathesome, offensive brute. Yet I can't look away."

"He transcends time and space."

"He sickens me."

"I love it."

"Me too."

As in that book this hammy picture makes him look like a pretty little preppy dear in contrast to the old troll with the orangatan colored comb over inflicting his presence on us all.

Doesn't look like him and the hands are too big.

But, the charity paid 20 grand and it sits at Mar-a-Lago where all his visitors can bow down. And write a check.

There are really people out there who think this asshole is a better choice than Hillary?

Go read David Farenthold's twitter timeline:

https://twitter.com/fahrenthold

Farenthold is the Washington Post reporter that has been sussing out Cheeto Jesus' shameful lies about charitable giving. He's in a desperate search to find the actual painting in question. Hilariously, there are bunches of hoooge paintings owned by Orange One.

what a rip off. Spend the charity's money on a painting of someone but not of tRump. Maybe in his dreams but not in real life

He never has nor ever will look like the person in that painting, sorry el'dumbass but if you paid for that you got ripped off
