Why Donald Trump buying $12K of Tebow gear could potentially be an IRS violation

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has many tremendous friends. Tom Brady of the Patriots is a tremendous friend. And maybe Tim Tebow is a tremendous friend too, because The Donald spent, according to the Washington Post, $12,000 of his foundation's money on a Tebow Broncos helmet and jersey several years ago.

The original story actually comes from the Palm Beach Daily News, which wrote about a Susan B. Komen charity auction back in 2012.

During the first dinner course -- the club's trademark lump crabmeat timbale -- Tom Quick conducted the live auction, which included the surprise additions of four tickets for Celine Dion's upcoming concert at The Mar-a-Lago Club, donated by Donald Trump, and an autographed Tim Tebow helmet, which sold to Donald Trump for $12,000 at the very moment that Tebow was having his halo hammered by Tom Brady.
