If the wall's so popular among Trumpists, how come less than 0.5% so far are prepared to fund it?

[BritVic]

A pitiful 270,000 contributions out of the 63m who voted for Blotard. Makes you wonder how much of the rabid fervour for it is whipped up by outside influences. I suggest...an awful lot.

1. $16,424,756 of $1.0B goal Raised by 270,130 people in 7 days

What a big fat joke.

This money could have been used for something useful, like feed/house the homeless!

But NO, rather play with a Go Fund Me thing instead at a big price that will never get to $5 billion!

2. they want all those evil godless muslim socialist states like california and new york to pay for it

just like we pay for their farm welfare.

3. Seems like money laundering to me

Especially since a lot of those donations are not from the US and seem to be tied to Russian social media sites.

18. +1000000!!!

[BritVic]

4. If you look at the largest donations,

...a wall-building company gave $12k a few days ago ! Touting for business?

[Achilleaze]

5. I was told Mexico was going to pay for the wall

You mean the republicans lied to me? You mean they want me and my fellow US citizens to pay for it now? You mean the republicans have shut down our government because US citizens are upset about the republican lies? Sick. Sick and sad.

6. too hard to contribute from their welfare checks they get in Tennessee and alabama

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. Or their ssi checks they get in WV and Kentucky.

[Odoreida]

7. Because Mexico will pay for it ...

... doncha know

[Scarsdale]

9. The 1%

who got huuge tax breaks should help pay for it. Much of the cost will end up in the tRump family coffers anyway. The money raised should go to the treasury to help pay for the golf trips taken by orange arse. He is already bleeding us dry.

10. "Who's gonna pay for the wall?"

Looks like those who voted for the cretin want to use taxpayer money to fund their wall. I will fight any budget that caves and anyone who supports this insanity.

[duforsure]

11. Because they realize it was

All a lie , and another bait and switch from the conman in the White House all along that Mexico would pay for it. He's using it as a diversion, and a PR event. The focus should be on all the immigrant children ripped away from their parents that have not been accounted for , or returned. This has all been nothing but an act from trump to use to incite his followers with. He could care less about a wall other than to use it to incite them with it for distractions. He also could care less who he hurts from this government shutdown, and doing it now does nothing but shows how cruel he really is.

12. k&R

[TheBlackAdder]

13. Because most are self-affecting moochers. They only take from the government, they don't give.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. That avg $60 each. Would take 83 million donors at that rate. But govt money is fungible. . . . nt

[D_Master81]

15. Looks like its slowing down

It was in the millions per day going up, it looks like its still doing alright, but is about 2 million per day. My initial prediction was that it would end in the 20-50 million total and I still think thats where it ends. we'll see if the refund actually happens.

[Flaleftist]

16. Weird. Hannity is a big fan of saying how liberals like to spend other people's money

Here is an opportunity for them to put up their money for something they want and they aren't even getting close.

[crazycatlady]

17. Because that money is going to their dealers
