This is actually a THIRD portrait of himself that @realdonaldtrump allegedly bought with his charity's $. I knew about a 3-ft one and a 6-ft one. This is a 9-ft one, that he bought in 2013.
I knew about the painting. I didn't know charity $ was involved.

If Cohen's account is true, then the payment for this painting was not listed on the Trump Foundation's IRS filings. It doesn't list any payments to Rahr. The only $60K payment it lists is to @AmericanCancer. I'll dig into this today...
Will be interesting to see if Cohen's testimony becomes part of the case against @realDonaldTrump by NY AG @TishJames. The NY AG suit already includes the other two portraits that Trump bought with charity $.
.@realDonaldTrump has agreed to shutter his foundation, but the case continues. I asked the NY AG today if they will add another allegation dealing w/ this 3rd painting. I'll let you know what i hear...

Earlier this yr, we reported that -- the day after @TMobile announced a huge merger that requires Trump admin approval -- 9 top T-Mobile execs had reservations at @realDonaldTrump's D.C. Hotel.

Today, we learned a little more about that...

washingtonpost.com/politics/t-mob…
For the first time, T-Mobile put a dollar figure on their spending at @realDonaldTrump's hotel, during the period where they've been lobbying Trump's admin to approve the merger.
They spent $195K at the hotel, over 10 months. 2/
AND -- just as interesting -- @TMobile described how little its top execs had used the Trump Hotel *before* they had a merger pending before the Trump Administration.
Before the merger: 2 nights, over 18 months.
Since the merger: at least 52 nights, and $195K in spending. 3/

This is a big week for some of @realDonaldTrump's best hotel customers!
First, today, T-Mobile CEO @JohnLegere will go before Congress in re: his proposed merger w/Sprint.

@realDonaldTrump This must be Trump’s tweet version of “he was only the coffee boy!” What’s crazy is that Michael Cohen was disbarred for lying for Trump. So Trump is literally attacking himself and Republicans for their own crimes and misdeeds they directed Michael Cohen to do on their behalf.
@realDonaldTrump Based on Michael Cohen’s opening statement, it will be riveting watching him publicly testify about how Trump committed so many acts of business fraud including, believe it or not, paying someone to bid on a portrait of himself through his non-profit. Trump kept the painting!
@realDonaldTrump Michael Cohen has so many documents and exhibits to show the American people including the personal checks Trump wrote as President of the United States to reimburse Cohen for all the hush money payments he made to Stormy Daniels in felony violation of campaign finance laws.

@realDonaldTrump This is the lowest of the low. Harry Reid retired from the Senate after a freak exercise accident where he severely injured his face and right eye. Later, he had an abnormal colonoscopy and a follow up MRI that revealed a pancreatic tumor. He is dying of pancreatic cancer.
@realDonaldTrump Never have we had a President of the United States who is so unashamedly cruel. He also incessantly attacked John McCain who later died from brain cancer.
@realDonaldTrump Pancreatic cancer is such an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis. On average, the one year survival rate is 20% and the five year survival rate is 7%. Even for the best case scenario for cancers that are caught early, the five year survival rate is still less than 20%.

@realDonaldTrump The GDP is meaningless to your or my wage.

We have a President that USURP the Presidency with the aid of at least 3 foreign nations

Who allows Russia to continue to attack America’s Power Grid, Air Control, Water,

Who is enriching himself through his office

TRAITOR TRUMP
@realDonaldTrump Benedict Arnold won the key battle of Saratoga

Nixon ended the Vietnam war

Hitler brought Germany out of the depression

Their is NOTHING Trump could do to wash away the stain of his TREASON
@realDonaldTrump Trump stood on a stage next to Putin and capitulated and cowardly agreed to everything Russia wanted

He look like a wiped dog and make me ashamed to be an American

He has compromised by Putin will do anything for the Russians

One would think having your feelings returned would make your raging crush easier to deal with, but no. No, for Jimin, being courted only makes everything worse, what with him being rendered even more of a mess when Yoongi brings him gifts.

Or looks at him. Or is near him. Or—
A continuation of this threadfic;
“To our newest brother, our newest omega.” The clan elder stands from his seat, cup raised over his head. “After all these years,” he calls out, eyes glittering in the light of the fires, “we finally welcome him as part of the clan. To Jimin!”

“TO JIMIN!” the whole rest

Thank you! A must read! #CaterPage is the #TrumpRussiaCollusion That’s the reason why @SpeakerRyan & @DevinNunes decided to make up the #MemoDay to discredit the @FBI #faisa @SpeakerRyan has the nerve to lie, saying that it has nothing to do w/ @FBI or the #RussiaInvestigation ?
himself introduced #CaterPage ‘s name as a member of his campaign, the @FBI was listening & knew that #CarterPage had ties to #Russia ! That’s their job, it had nothing to do with being biased. #CaterPage is a #traitor working w/ #Russia & w/ a #US candidate!???
Connected to #Russia somehow: #Manafort #Flynn #Papadopoulos #CaterPage #TrumpTowerMeeting #Wikileaks tweets #JaredKushner #DonaldTrumpJr #Sessions Let alone @GOP #RussianRepublicans who actually got money💰from #RussianDonors Sorry, this is not a #Dem conspiracy is a REALITY!
