After many months of searching, Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold tracked down a visual of the Trump portrait the presidential candidate bought for $20,000 — with charity money.
Fahrenthold discovered that in 2007 Trump used money from the Donald J. Trump Foundation to buy a 6-foot portrait of, you guessed it, himself. The whereabouts of the painting, seen on the right in the photo above, had been a mystery until the Washington Post started looking for the expensive artwork.
SEE ALSO: Someone created a giant Donald Trump portrait on a cornfield in ItalyIt's important to note the photo above only shows the painting during the charity event, after a speed painter whipped it up in five minutes. It does not reveal where the painting hangs now.
The photo also includes another painting Trump bought with charity money. He spent $10,000 on the more refined picture (that actually gets his famous blond hairdo right) on the left.
Through the Post'stiresome investigative work the entire world now gets to see the six-foot likeness of Donald J. Trump that has been the butt of many jokes. The artist, Michael Israel, "speed painted" the piece during a charity event at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida.
Some on Twitter (mostly Trump supporters) thought the piece was indeed a work of art that Trump got for a steal.

Others were more upset by the misuse of charity money than the quality of the painting.
@Fahrenthold @dangillmor I'm bemused by the idea that Trump might have "found a charitable use for the painting".

Still pondering that one.
The painting search came about after Fahrenthold started tracking (on pen and paper) where Trump said he had donated to charity, often catching Trump in a lie.
