President Trump failed in his promise to have Mexico pay for the wall. The GOP Congress chose not to fund the wall. The Democrat House will not fund the wall. It appears the wall is a dead issue.

Is there anything stopping the President from crowdfunding the wall?
How about if we-the-people pay for it DIRECTLY, by-passing those useless vermin in Congress?
Or, if that doesn’t work, how about declaring this invasion a military emergency and put the money he won for the military last year towards building the wall? I remember reading, at the time, that the use of that money was up to HIM, not Congress.
There are still options. Our President thinks outside the box.
He will ask for wall money. If Congress refuses he will not sign their endless continuing resolutions.
Make the damn Congress actually pass a budget for the first time in many years.
“Is there anything stopping the President from crowdfunding the wall?”
There is nothing to prevent the people from crowdfunding the wall. However, without authorization from Congress the President will be unable to forcibly use private land along the border for the wall. In addition, private financing of the wall will be opposed in court by globalists, immigrant rights social justice organizations, and Democrats. No doubt they will go court shopping and find an Obama or Clinton appointee to issue an injection against a privately funded wall. Litigating the issue up to the Supreme Court will take years. If the Democrats capture the White House in 2020, game over.
Truthfully the time to realize the wall occurred during the Bush administration when Congress passed a bill authorizing and funding the wall. The Bush administration chose to build a “virtual” wall, giving billions of dollars to Boeing for electronic surveillance that failed. The Obama administration ended the Bush virtual wall. Had Bush moved aggressively forward with a physical barrier it would be in place today. Instead he was angry that Congress wouldn’t pass amnesty so he elected to construct a non-physical barrier which could be eliminated.
