My idea is to let the Trump supporters pay for the wall.

Have those that voted for or currently support Trump be subject to a special tax (that they could register for - indicating their support) that would pay for the wall. Not the 5.6 Billion, but rather the possible 50 to 70 billion total dollars that will be needed.

As a person that does not support Trump, I have no problems with this group paying for the wall and the ongoing expense of maintaining/supporting the wall for the life of the wall.

If only their was a way to have the Trump supporters register for this unique opportunity.
