For those of us who think there are better things to fund, I encourage you to fund a worthy cause somewhere, be it a local organization, someone in need on gofundme, or a teacher's classroom on donorschoose.org. Hell, go support a business and its workers by buyinng some boba tea or tacos for all I care.

Every dollar donated to the Great Trump Wall is a dollar not donated to the Trump Reelection Campaign. Go Wall and a gift shop.
they're going to pass 6 million before 2 pm . . . basically a million every two hours, now around 100,000 donors.
and if you don't think this phenomenon supports the Trump Reelection Campaign, I think you don't grasp the full significance of this fundraising campaign
it's taken a while but CNN finally has a story on it. Still waiting on the NYT and WaPo https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/20/us/gofundme-border-wall/index.html
Being run by a veteran (and triple amputee) Brian Kolfage, who is a motivational speaker now. Don't much agree with his effort and won't be donating, but I respect how he's doing it. He says they'll give 100% to the wall, it'll be contracted in a way that it would be spent on nothing but the wall, and that they'll refund everything if they don't meet the target. Plus his wife is hot.
I will be impressed if they can really get five billion raised, but do not count out Trump supporters ever.
It will reach a plateau and stall out soon. I think people are underestimating just how much is $1,000,000,000. smh
depending on where that plateau is and when it occurs, we're going to learn a tremendous amount about Trump supporters from this
This is great! I mean, building a border wall is stupid, but if it's funded by private folks on their own, that's a good(ish) outcome. Of course it won't work, but if we pretend for a second that it might... No Wall > Donated Wall > Taxpayer Wall
They one thousandth of the way there. 5 million out of the 5 billion, which Trump is demanding. Go Wall!
If they crowdfund a wall im all for it. I think it’s a waste of taxpayer money, but could care less if individuals want to waste their money on it.
WaPo got on it right after the $5 million mark https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...border-wall-four-days/?utm_term=.e75cf4f02c34
Wow this thing has raised 6mil. This is insane. 1B will will not be anywhere close to enough for the wall, but I am shocked that this has raise 6mil. I mean I am surprised the organizer desn't just run with the money.
