Scammers of the Lost Helmet…

I guess WaPo wants to show him what nasty really looks like. They are just trying to help him better understand his “good words.”

Meh.
Playing devil’s advocate–what if this was just a way for the Trump Foundation to help the Susan G. Komen Foundation (which fights breast cancer, by the way)? Suppose the helmet and jersey went into a closet in the Trump Foundation’s office?

Trump wears the helmet at night and imagines his day as The Greatest, Bestest, Most Fabulous Pro Football Player ever, right after 5 terms as Best President Ever.

See? THIS along with his little childhood Bible SHOWS his ‘Christian Creds’!!!
I’m surprised that TimTeaBow was not named AyahTellYah WhatToBelieve in Trump’s dream cabinet.
Unfortunately, the people who could be persuaded probably don’t read newspapers. Or maybe anything.

Trump: “Charity begins at home. By ‘home’ I mean Trump Towers.”
Bet he was going to donate it to the vets to raise money, huh?
BTW: Is anyone really surprised by this?

As the Washington Post noted, the astute businessman bought the signed items at the height of Tebow mania. Comparable items now sell for $415 online.
Nice snark, Caitlin. Really well done!

I think that’s spelled with a hyphen, ass-toot.

And of course, it’s the Komen foundation, that sham that tried dropping Planned Parenthood funding in 2012 for purely political reasons…
Avoid anything with a pink ribbon. We need real charities, not marketing firms that allow the likes of Karen Handel to meddle in the lives of others. Such an astonishing lapse of judgment on the part of Komen permanently calls the quality of their leadership into question.
So did the Trump buy the helmet before or after Komen exposed themselves as frauds?

He certainly has an eye for talent. He thought Tebow was going to be big… really big and would have been well on his way to the all time passing yardage record in Denver’s high thin air. Trump did not foresee that the ball needs to be actually in the air to benefit from its thinness.

Just for Comparison: Trump’s Global moneymaking enterprises (read: scams) vs. The Global Clinton Foundation
(*For all the Rightie Howler Monkeys out there screeching: “Look CCCCCClinton…”)
[Today, the Clinton Foundation is unlike anything else in the history of the nation and, perhaps, the world: It is a global philanthropic empire run by a former U.S. president and closely affiliated with a potential future president, with the audacious goal of solving some of the world’s most vexing problems by bringing together the wealthiest, glitziest and most powerful people from every part of the planet.
June 2015…The Clinton foundation now includes 11 major initiatives, focused on issues as divergent as crop yields in Africa, earthquake relief in Haiti and the cost of AIDS drugs worldwide. In all, the Clintons’ constellation of related charities has raised $2 billion, employs more than 2,000 people and has a combined annual budget of more than $223 million.
…Overall, the foundation spends about 89 percent of its money on its charitable mission, according to the independent American Institute of Philanthropy.
Based on that analysis, the watchdog group gave the foundation a rating of A for 2013, on a scale that goes to A-plus.
…Like her husband, she (Hillary) has never drawn a salary from the foundation. ]
Even as the Republicans play politics with Sec. Clinton’s involvement with the Foundation, there has never been any element of wrongdoing. The Foundation has been a worldwide success in many ways and in countless lives. Compare that to Trump’s scams, rip offs, swindles and sideshows.

Everyone knows the WAPO is picking on Donald J. Trump because:
(1) He barred the paper from covering his campaign; and
(2) He’s a fucking crook.

“This is the worst abuse of the law EVER and requires a Congressional investigation, a special prosecutor and an FBI investigation to get to the TRUTH,” said every GOP operative and elected official working from their talking points if this had been Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.

This is what rich people do when they own a lot of enterprises. They never buy anything in their own name, because why should they. Unless they have an independent accountant who threatens them.
Really, why should we expect anything different. Trump is a narcissist with clear lack of boundaries and contempt for most rules.

It is getting very hard to believe he is a billionaire, if he is, why is he constantly scamming for such small potatoes. If you have $10billion, then $12,000 is like a couple of pennies that fell between the sofa cushions. Elsewhere I read that he made $5mil from the Trump university scam. It is like someone who has $10,000 staging an elaborate scam in order to get another 5 dollars.
He either he’s not a billionaire, or he is the most cheap, greedy, grasping, selfish individual to ever darken the earth.
Or both.
