President Trump should put his money where his mouth is

President Donald Trump should put his money where his mouth is on the Wall.  It's easy for politicians to spend other people's money on projects.  If Trump really believes  the wall is necessary he should be willing to donate some of his  money, possibly his presidential salary, to the wall like many of our fellow Americans are doing.  Maybe he could suggest that those running his  businesses donate part of the profits to the wall.   Trump might try to persuade Congress to match private donations of money or labor.

Selling advertising could be practical near urban areas.  Perhaps some companies would be satisfied with using pictures of ads on rural sections of the wall they have paid to construct.

  Trump needs to educate those  who want gun control to the fact that gun control cannot be effective without border control.  A person who  can cross the border unchecked can cross carrying 6 M16 rifles while wearing a backpack full of ammo.
