    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.

    Duplicate of other thread - but never underestimate the power of the ignorant and gullible to give their money away - see Televangilsts for examples.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
