One News Anchor’s Hunt to find Trump’s Missing Portrait

An undeniable fact is that social media is rapidly expanding into our lives. While it may have its drawbacks, it proved to be quite helpful in one man’s journey to find Donald Trump’s missing $10,000 portrait. In an article written by David A. Fahrenthold and published by The Washington Post, Univision news anchor, Enrique Acevedo was able to solve the mystery behind the notorious painting through social media. Tweets based off of a picture found on Tripadvisor.com circulated earlier that night, speculating that Trump National Doral Miami, a golf resort owned by then GOP nominee, was home to a self-portrait purchased with his own charity’s funds. Curiosity led Acevedo to look into the matter himself. He reserved a room at the resort and wandered the halls, asking the staff whether they had seen the portrait. Upon one staff member’s directions to look for it downstairs, Acevedo walked into Champions Bar and Grill, to find the $10,000 portrait resting on a wall, absent of a plaque. The next day he snapped a picture and took to Twitter to confirm that the tweets were true. Perhaps the portrait was “missing” because the Trump Foundation illegally purchased it to be used at a for-profit resort?
