No, not according to me. According to Enrique Acevedo of Univision, who recently decided to investigate a Washington Post story that pointed out that visitors to Champions Bar and Grill had posted online photos onto Tripadvisor of the $10,000 four-foot-tall portrait. He wanted to check if the reports were true and if the painting were -still- there. Acevedo reserved a room at Doral Resort, and very easily got cleaning staff to usher him into Champions Bar and Grill to see it. So, yes, actually, brazenly present and _still_ there.
And that -- buying a portrait with charity money and then using it in business -- is not only incredibly tacky behaviour even by Trump standards (and what kind of megalomaniac spends $10,000 on a painting of himself, anyway?) is illegal self-dealing, a variety of tax fraud.
