Awesome Painting of Donald Trump Was Totally Worth All the Charity Money He Spent on It

It's been known for a while, thanks largely to the Washington Post's David Farenthold, that Donald Trump 1) hasn't donated for years to his own charitable foundation and 2) routinely uses his charity's money to settle his debts, make self-serving political contributions, and buy things for his own use. That last category—things Trump spends other people's charitable donations on because he wants them for himself—includes two paintings of (who else?) Donald Trump.

We've previously seen one of those paintings, which is now at a Trump resort in Florida. It's a pretty normal painting. On Tuesday, though, as you can see above, Farenthold revealed an image of the other one—which was done in 2007 by a "speed painting" showman named Michael Israel. It's a doozy! Enhance:

Looks like a sexy star from the sexy 1980s!

Anyway, we still don't know where the painting is, because Trump won't say. The picture in Farenthold's tweet was supplied to the Post by the artist himself (he's the guy in the splattered white shirt).

It's been reported that New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is investigating the Trump Foundation—and now we know that the investigation is probably just into how Eric Schneiderman can get a cool painting like that for himself!
