Malania is auctioning a hat and art work.

I think it was the Trump family that complained about Hunter Biden selling his paintings. She did say part of the proceeds were going to one of her charities. When it was asked of some of her handlers how much of the proceeds would go to charity, they did not respond. So I guess this is ok because it is Trump doing it.

If a portion of the proceeds go to charity, where does the other portion go?

Melania Trump today is auctioning off the hat she wore when she met French President Macron. Autographed. “A portion of the proceeds” to charity.

A portion? A pittance?
