There’s now a hilarious GoFundMe to build escalators over Trump’s border wall

One sharp-minded denizen of the world wide web has stepped up to meet the furor over the GoFundMe campaign to fund President Trump’s long-sought border wall with one of his own: funding an escalator that scales that wall.

It’s a brilliant bit of trolling from Boston-based freelance journalist Luke O’Neil whose newsletter, “Hell World,” dives into the intersection of cruelty and stupidity. It perfectly encapsulates something like a GoFundMe campaign to build a border wall for a president who promised Mexico — not taxpayers — would pay for it.
