What a great idea. Let those that want the wall pay for it out of their own pockets. I have one question though. Where does the money go if not enough funds are raised? Do people get a refund? No I will not be donating.
Good job with the 5 million in 4 days. Now do it 4000 more times. Should only take 16000-20000 days or 40-50+ years at the current rate to raise the 20 Billion needed. Maybe they should ask the Mexican citizens as well since Mexico forgot to pay for the wall.
Oh...ok then...ONLY 700 miles of border wall? That makes a huge difference...LOL.
Oh...and BTW...it's you who needs to "try to keep up"....Trump's original plan was for 2000 miles of wall/fencing/other covering the whole border. That changed when they saw how ludicrous it was to try to attempt that....but it was his original plan:
This is a link (therefore the "quoted part" is from said article in said link):
"In 2016, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump proposed building a border wall "as high as 55 feet" along the U.S.-Mexican border, making the pledge the centerpiece of his campaign.[9] Trump's proposed wall—which he said would consist of 2,000 miles "of hardened concrete, and ... rebar, and steel" across the entire southern border[22] would be much more extensive than the fencing built under the 2006 act."
It certainly does make a difference cost wise. I am well aware of Trump's original plan but that's not the case anymore. He merely want's the 700 mile long wall completed on the most porous areas that congress already passed in 2006. So what's your problem? We don't need a wall on the balance of the border as it is mostly impassable terrain that is very difficult and dangerous to try and cross so fewer will try and fewer will succeed. The Border Patrol can focus their efforts in those areas.
That's because he have been taking a lot of heat from the right wing media, and the freedom caucus, the are very angry with him. It's not because he really wants to, he don't want to lose their support.
Ha ha. Right wing media played Trump. As expected he angrily reacted to their criticism.
I wanted to be a part of this historic endeavor so just donated a small amount. Wish it could have been more. Hundreds of people donating every minute. Look at the list. You can also be anonymous if you live in a blue state and are afraid of repercussions.

It'll be faster than that after the veteran goes on Fox News tonight with Laura Ingraham and tomorrow on Fox News Business Mornings with Maria. That will really get donations flowing.
