It collected 1/50th of the billion dollar goal.

I'm actually surprised it did as well as it did. It was pretty dumb to start with.
It sure was dumb

The new group’s board "includes Erik Prince, the founder of infamous military contractor Blackwater; David Clarke, the scandal-plagued former sheriff of Milwaukee County; Fox News contributor Sara Carter; Tom Tancredo, an immigration hardliner and former Colorado congressman; and former Kansas Secretary of State and voter fraud crusader Kris Kobach."

LOL

The small-time grifter Kolfage has made it to the big time. The high profile vermin couldn't wait to join in on the fleecing of the Trumplings.

And many of those supporters don't care for securing a wall because Trump is in office. Put Bernie or Hillary in there and they'd be fine with it.
You do know that you have to be a American citizen to vote right?..hence illegals can't.

But hey whatever lie floats your boat just like Mexico was going to pay for the Wall.

Agreed. We just spend $10.6 billion to give to corrupt politicians in Mexico and Central America. Money that should have stayed in the pockets of American taxpayers, or at the least that should have gone to their security.

Since this desperate and dimwitted approach to killing fundraising was started, The Wall has gathered another $1 million.
Now up to $20.5 million. ....https://www.gofundme.com/TheTrumpWall
One way or the other Trump is going to build The Wall.
Because it's a good idea.
You cannot stop it with fake "news".

Well, duh.

We still don’t need a wall where we don’t own the land.

Procuring it isn’t part of his budget.

We don’t need the Great Wall of Trump.

It’s just pissing money into Eric Prince’s pocket.

Well, why not? Do you think that those who own that private land that abuts the border want illegals traipsing through there property?

Ranchers tell stories about the trash dumped on their land and how their cattle sometimes ingest that trash and end up dying from doing so. They talk about having to be armed when they're out and about doing their daily work. Some have had their dogs killed by illegals. Why wouldn't they want a wall or fence on their property?

What's with the "well duh"? It was you who implied that Trump wanted a wall from San Diego to Brownsville.

Do we know if those tasked with boarder security want a wall? Could be they'd want something else that would better serve them in their efforts.

Also, once the wall is built, how much goes towards maintaining that wall ... ? Year after year after year ... Tax $$$$. We're on the hook for that too, ya know.

Build a wall so that years later we can historically dismantle it and sell it on ebay.

Seriously...I say take it to the People....Ask them to nationality and individually Vote on this Billion $ structure. I've yet to see congress or senate GO BACK to the People and say...Hey....What do you want us to do? Instead they say...Heres what we are going to do and maybe in 6- 8 months you'll try to have us removed from office...but by then we'll have done enough damage.. to leave you defeated...

It was a relief stats wise to know that some folks still have common sense and logic to NOT contribute.

I did laugh at the Parody Go fund me page from Will Hayden (the guy in Colorado)....Now that was a Hoot to read ....I seriously was going to toss him $5 just for his gumption.
