I'm actually curious if anyone here has donated, and if so, how much?

Hello Sirthinksalot,
Very impressive! At that rate (do keep it up, and up, and up, and up,) the movement will raise the entire $5.6 Billion for the 1/5th of the 27 Billion needed for the whole (well not really a complete wall) thing in just a very short time.
Keep on paying in.
If I have my math correct, at that rate it will take just 15.3 years.
For the lower figure of 5.6 Billion.
(Not the originally proposed 27 Billion.)
(which still doesn't even build a complete wall)

Hello Althea,
Oh, that's funny. They can't really give the government money with a stipulation that it can only be used for a specific item.
Makes sense. Our government is not supposed to be for sale.
Money can be raised for the government, money can be given to the government. You just can't tell the government what to do with it. If it is given, it is given. Once it is given it is the government's to use as government sees fit. Expenditures are generally voted on by the House.
The account holder has not secured a legal way to ensure that the money will go to the wall. He says it will, but this one person has full control of the account. Everyone who donates is trusting that he will do what he says. He said if the government won't guarantee it will go to a wall, then he won't donate it. But he didn't say what he WOULD do with it in that case, just that he would wait until he gets what he wants. Even though that is not a given.
