Trump voters are being called on to crowdfund border wall: ‘It could be a people’s wall’
December 17, 2018 | Tom Tillison |
While it’s not a trend you’d want Congress to get comfortable with, New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin offered an alternative to the US government funding a wall along the southern border: crowdfund the wall.
Appearing on “Fox & Friends,” Goodwin was asked by co-host Brian Kilmeade during a discussion on President Donald Trump’s willingness to shut down the government if he does not get border wall funding if there was a “private way” to get the wall built.
“There is,” replied Goodwin, who insisted the public supports strong border security. “You can create a GoFundMe operation. Others suggest other ways, there’s an existing effort called FundTheWall.com run by a sheriffs association that’s raised some money, but nowhere near what is needed.”
He then suggested that the president’s supporters could get it done.
“According to my mail, a lot of people are willing to chip in,” Goodwin said. “One reader writes to me and says if the 63 million people who voted for Donald Trump each contributed $80, that would get you near the $5 billion mark.”
HERE’S WHAT YOU’RE MISSING …
Many Americans would gladly surrender $80 if they could be assured it would result in an effective border wall — Goodwin was adamant that “that’s the kind of thing that needs to happen.”
“It could be a people’s wall,” he told Kilmeade.

By all means. Throw your money away if you want to. Don’t just start whining and bitching when you realize how useless that wall is

Y’all should go for it.
Go ahead Billie, give the misogynistic, lying, tax-evading, stable genius orange-manchild your money for the wall. I'll keep mine thank you very much. Better yet, why don'tcha all just go to Home Depot, buy the lumber and drive to the border and build it yourselves.

Cheeto 45 Cultists want it so bad, they can all pitch in towards it as well as the cost of years of litigation to snatch away property from home owners who don't want a wall in their F***ing backyard. Keep my F***ing money out of it.

I just don't understand where anyone thinks that's going to stop anyone. If they build it 23 feet high, people will bring 2 ladders joined together. People climb mount Everest for Pete's sake. There's equipment out there that can be used. People will fly in and just not go back. People will hide in trailors exporting products into the U.S.Momto2boys973 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 17, 2018 5:34 pm By all means. Throw your money away if you want to.

I truly think this is solely symbolic. It has to be. It defies logic to think that this is going to stop anything.
