Do Cons realize that even if the gofundme page raises enough $$$ for the Great Wall of Mexico, Trump can't use it?

    Trump may be able to use the funds. Rep Andy Harris Introduced the Border Wall Bonds Act of 2018, if passed with the Gov Funding bill it will allow citizens to donate towards the wall.

    An important thing to remember about the GoFundMe page is that if they don't reach their goal (which they won't, a billion dollars is way too high) they'll all be refunded. They're not seriously about this, they're just loaning money that they know they're going to get returned.

    It is true. All money spent by the federal government must be approved by Congress. Donations received through a gofundme page, or by any other means, become part of the US Treasury and must still be approved in an a appropriation bill passed by Congress before being spent by the executive branch.

    No private sector group can build the wall because they will not be able to acquire the property rights without the authority of the Federal Government.

    You are correct, Trump can't use any government funds without the consent of Congress, this is not a monarchy and Trump is not a dictator.

    Ellis Island, in Upper New York Bay, was the gateway for over 12 million immigrants to the U.S. as the United States' busiest immigrant inspection station for over 60 years from 1892 until 1954...… why do we have a problem with it now ???

    Why wouldn't he be able to use it? Is GoFundMe run by the DNC?

    Nope

    They don't know that giving money to Trump is like giving heroin to a junkie
