BORDER/CHUCK SCHUMER/NANCY PELOSI/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE/WALL: “President Donald Trump’s campaign is raising money to send bricks to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over the ongoing dispute to fund a wall along the southern border that led to the partial government shutdown…The border wall is at the heart of what led to the partial government shutdown, which is now in its 28th day and the longest on record. Democrats refuse to give $5.7 billion to construct a border wall and Trump refuses to concede in his demand for one…The smallest contribution one must give to have a brick sent is $20.20. But if you’re looking to send seven fake bricks, you’d have to donate $140. The site notes that 75 percent of each donation goes to Trump’s 2020 primary or the general election. The additional 25 percent goes to the Republican National Committee.”
