Geebus, this is one of the most blatant examples. It's so irritating that someone dropped that much cash on a fucking banana when there are so many worthy charities that actually do something useful.

Most charities are scams. The bigger the charity the less likely it will help anyone.

You want to help someone? Put the money in their fist and no middlemen.

that's unfair. the clinton foundation was quite big, yet it helped the clintons a lot. and no middlemen either (alive)

A tax shelter they could but their money in and claim to be broke when leaving the White House.

Not all, though.
