No One Wanted Trump’s Portrait So His Charity Had to Buy It, Lawyer Says
When Donald Trump offered to pay $10,000 from his personal charitable foundation for a six-foot oil portrait of himself, the future president only meant to "get the bidding started" during a 2014 auction at his Mar-a-Lago resort, his lawyer told a New York judge.
“No one else bid,” attorney Alan Futerfas said in a packed Manhattan courtroom on Thursday, so “he’s stuck with the painting."
I can totally believe that nobody wanted a 6 foot tall painting of Trump, who the hell would?
I would not want a postage stamp sized one personally.
