Pelosi and Schumer would have already built the wall with their own bare hands if the illegals flooding into this country were voting Republican

"They haven’t updated total in almost 10 minutes."

I'm sure that's on purpose. It would be a serious mistake for a site like this to update the totals instantly.

If they did, all the OCD patrons of the site would hit Refresh-Page every 3 seconds, and bring the website to its knees as far as response time.

No that’s for $1B. $5B is almost a year.

Typo. Oops.

A billion dollars in 2 months is not bad at all. At least you would get some of the wall built. Why does it cost so much to build a wall anyway? 5 billion dollars seems kind of ridiculous. Just get people willing to build it and it can be done cheaper, or electric fence, they try to cross, crispy critter

Try $10k/ minute. Roughly $600k/hr from $6M to $7M was 97min. I texted my daughter at $6M then again at $7M so timestamps provides me the times

OK. We will probably never get 60 million donors, but at current rates, we wouldn't need 60 million donors to hit a billion dollars. Anything in the region of 15 million donors will do.

[central_va]

I predict it will hit $1M/hr soon.

[janetjanet998]

it has been 42-48K every 5 minutes most of the afternoon...every once in a while it spikes due to a large donation (i.e. 50K about an hour ago). but 45Kish every 5 min with steady smaller donations

There were 52+ million TRUMP Voters!!!!!

[KavMan]

Ooops! I meant 62+ million

Cost per mile is around $24,500,000 ... $6,582,052 is a little more than 1/3 of a mile ...

[backwoods-engineer]

I don’t know, how did your big-government ancestors fare?

[central_va]

Cost per mile is around $24,500,000

Reference for that?

[KavMan]

How mant feet of Wall can we build with $7 million? =P

[backwoods-engineer]

Raising private money for a public function is foolhardy, because the Deep State won’t protect you. Buy guns, ammo and food instead. War is coming.

[1L]

How long before it is shut down?

[backwoods-engineer]

Give your money to me instead. I’ll help you protect your family better than a bunch of Demonrats and a wall-less President.
