At the third presidential debate, Donald Trump invoked a video that says supporters of Hillary Clinton were paid to incite violence at one of his rallies in Chicago. It was an attack thread to emphasize that her campaign was "sleazy." But what Trump didn't say is that he has paid the filmmaker who he says uncovered the story. The video, which was just released earlier this week and made by conservative activist James O'Keefe of Project Veritas, was paid $10,000 by the Trump Foundation in May of 2015 - one month before Trump's announcement of candidacy.
"They hired people. They paid them $1,500, and they're on tape saying be violent, cause fights, do bad things," Trump said on the debate stage Wednesday night, referencing the video by O'Keefe. NBC News has not corroborated the video. The payment was first reported by Think Progress and was listed in a compilation of donations the Trump Foundation gave to the Washington Post. "I was wondering what happened with my rally in Chicago and other rallies where we had such violence. She's the one and Obama that caused the violence," Trump said at the debate. O'Keefe has produced numerous videos that have attempted to take down members of the media, Democrats or progressives. He led the videos during the 2008 election of progressive group ACORN and attempted to show that Planned Parenthood sold aborted fetuses. Breitbart is the platform where O'Keefe's videos are posted. The former head of Breitbart, Steve Bannon, is the CEO of Trump's campaign. An original version of this story said O'Keefe was the producer of a video about Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod. He was not.
On Wednesday night, The Post's David A. Fahrenthold had an update on the portrait — including who painted it, who bid $20,000 for it, and maybe even where it is now. The short version is that a Florida charity called Children's Place at Home Safe held a fundraiser at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in November 2007, featuring speed-painter Michael Israel, who painted portraits of Trump, golfer Paula Creamer, John Lennon, and a firefighter; auctioneer David Schall then auctioned them off.
Melania Trump and Creamer were bidding on the Trump portrait, and Creamer dropped out when the price got to $10,000; Schall convinced Melania Trump to bid against herself, "and there we were at $20,000,” he told The Post. "Big round of applause, and everybody was excited." Melania instructed Israel assistant Jody Young to send the painting to the Trump National Golf Club Westchester in Briarcliff Manor, New York — where Fahrenthold says he suspects it may still be (the club turned away a Post reporter).
Hillary paid mentally ill to stimulate violence on Trump's rally. Trump paid O'Keefe to do investigation and uncover the truth. I do not see anything wrong here. Do you think whatever Hillary do to Trump, Trump should quietly accept it without any opposition?
If Hillary run for the office honestly without any of these mean method, how come Trump need to spend money to investigate her criminal? Who is more shameless?
"In 2007, for instance, Trump and his wife, Melania, attended a benefit for a children’s charity held at Mar-a-Lago. The night’s entertainment was Michael Israel, who bills himself as ‘the original speed painter.’ His frenetic act involved painting giant portraits in five to seven minutes — then auctioning off the art he’d just created. "He painted Trump. "Melania Trump bid $10,000. "Nobody tried to outbid her. " ‘The auctioneer was just pretty bold, so he said, "You know what just happened: When you started bidding, nobody’s going to bid against you, and I think it’s only fair that you double the bid," ' Israel said in an interview last week. "Melania Trump increased her bid to $20,000. " ‘I understand it went to one of his golf courses,’ Israel said of the painting. "The Trump Foundation paid the $20,000, according to the charity that held the benefit."
However, Trump could have spent his own money to buy the painting. When you consider that in 2007, Trump gave his foundation $35,000, subtracting the cost of the painting, he only made a donation of $15,000 that year. The rest of his foundation’s funds are raised from other charities, to be disbursed by the Trump Foundation. It’s a style of philanthropy that closely resembles Trump’s modus operandi in business—using other people’s money to finance his projects. It’s similar to how he’s financed much of his presidential campaign.
Whatever his reason, Trump’s use of his foundation’s money was illegal. The move is what the US government calls “self-dealing”—when a charity’s head spends their non-profit’s money to buy personal items—and it’s against Internal Revenue Service rules.
It’s not the only time Trump has done this; he also used $12,000 of his foundation’s money to buy a football helmet signed by quarterback Tim Tebow, as the Post reported in early July. That incident was in 2012, long after Trump stopped donating his own money to his charity.

希拉里团队的思路很一致，只要谈到wikileaks，肯定是俄罗斯人干的。无论是贪污腐败、辩论提前泄露题目、耻笑天主教、贬低拉丁裔都没关系，反正我就说是俄国人干的。
床铺用慈善基金会的钱参与竞选是事实。不止一件了，希拉里不干净你们都知道了，可你们还不知床铺做的事情。
关于买画像的还是不断的造谣秀下限啊，人家是在儿童慈善晚宴上以拍卖的形式进行捐款。被WaPo造谣花基金会钱给自己买东西。
