Question about GoFundMe...

(In reference to trumps wall) is that real cash donations or is it just a pledge? I can't believe it's 5 million dollars. I just can't.

They are refundable in instances of fraud.

My question is, how many of these are actual money laundering schemes? (I'm thinking Breaking Bad here).

Trump won the GOP primary b/c of all the demonizing of immigrants. I dont know how gofundme works if you pledge and then they collect when it closes or what. I expect that they'll raise at least 20 million if not closer to 50. There's demand all over red state Indiana for the wall to happen. Now what is 50 million in the grand scheme of things when they will need billions? I've always wanted to tell these people if you want the wall why dont you pay for it.
