BREAKING: GoFundMe for Border Wall: $1 Million and Counting

Why are you guys so confident that Mexico WON'T pay for the inevitable wall?

None of us understand the art of the deal that Trump is making behind the scenes.

Didn't Trump say he would be able to persuade Mexico to pay by imposing a tax on remittances? Apparently migrants (not sure if illegal and legal) send so much money home that this would be a serious blow to the Mexican economy. The fact that he hasn't followed up on this threat leads me to believe that this wouldn't work (either the President lacks the power or it's not practical to block or tax transfers).

When this fails will these cretins finally admit Trump is a failure? Or will many of them decide to donate their returned donations to his 2020 campaign?

I'm like jamin, I still think Mexico is going to pay for it. I don't think Trump would walk back his biggest promise to the American people, do you???

Exactly. Trump has broken not many of his promises.

Not if the Senate blocks it, no.

I mean yes.

Most of which --donated money-- will go towards paying for use of Trump properties, and paying for Trump 'CONsulting' services.

Republicans are racist. Its soooo sad.

If the cost of the wall is $10-30bn and inflation is 2-3% per annum the cost of building the wall increases by several million per day. These donations are barely keeping up with inflation, if not actually falling behind. SAD!

Trump’s even worse than we thought he would be.

There have only been four donations above $10,000:

$50,000 Anonymous

$13,337 Anonymous

$12,000 Fortress Stabilization Systems

$10,015 Edgar Weis

Don't any billionaires support Trump?

Billionaires understand that this is simply a message to the government about immigration laws. They don't need to waste their money by giving it to the guy that started this gofundme. $50 to $100 is enough to make your "vote" count

Schumer on Mexico wall: “No way, Jose!”

Eventually it will level off and never become a significant number in relation the cost of the wall. Probably somewhere around $50 million which would be 1/500th of the projected cost of $25B.

I'm not sure it will get that high. My totally unscientific estimate is that 50% of the total donations are now in. So $30M is my guess.

My original post was on the 22nd. Now, two days later, the fund is at $16.5M and 270K donors. So the increase in the past 2 days is just $1.5M and 20K donors. This drop off is quicker than I thought but it may also be because of Christmas. However, I'm going to revise my target down to $25M. I can't see it getting higher than that.

We should start a book going on how much it will raise. Maybe the winner can get a bag of cement.

To anyone reading who is thinks '$50 to $100 is enough to make your "vote" count' ask yourself why Trump hasn't made a donation in proportion to his wealth (six figures or maybe a few million perhaps).

This is not going anywere. The $$$ have peaked. They might reach $ 20 Million in a couple of month. But up to $1.0B, never.

Speaking of billionaires: If this is a make-or-break issue for Trump he could guarantee his re-election if he pledges a billion of his own money.

Trump is only worth about $3 billion. He is not going to donate one-third of his wealth. Nobody would donate such a great percentage.
