A screenshot on Thursday Dec. 21 at around 5:45pm PST, nearly $10mn has been raised for “The Wall”… out of the $1bn target for the project on gofundme.com.
[The wall funding issue has been the center of government shutdown. The dispute around the funding escalated on Dec. 11 when Trump, Nancy Pelosi (leader of the House Democrats), Chuck Schumer (Senate Minority Leader) “publicly clashed” in oval office meeting.]
But Trump insisted on $5bn.. so $10mn is only ~0.2% of his goal.
The campaign creator mentioned that the government projects had been funded by private sectors before, i.e. Washington Monument repair of $7.5mn (kinda tiny compared to $5bn).
The approach was creative tho.
