On the Google News front page right now:

[Donald Trump spent more than a quarter-million dollars from his charitable foundation to settle lawsuits that involved the billionaire’s for-profit businesses](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-used-258000-from-his-charity-to-settle-legal-problems/2016/09/20/adc88f9c-7d11-11e6-ac8e-cf8e0dd91dc7_story.html). Remember, the Trump doesn’t even contribute to his own Foundation, the (tax deductible?) contributions come from his fans.

[Trump refused to pay winner of a 2010 golf contest his $1M prize — and when mogul was sued, he doled out settlement using money from his charity.](http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-258k-charity-settle-suits-businesses-article-1.2799475)
