Again, no-one here – not the author, not the commenters – used the term in reference to this particular idiotic fundraiser.
According to the story, he was indeed in violation of the platform’s terms when he switched the intended recipient of the funds raised from the federal government to this 501c (because he didn’t do his homework) while leaving the page up. From the USA Today article:
But GoFundMe said due to a change in where the money would actually be going, from the federal government to a non-profit, the $20 million will be returned to the more than 337,000 who donated.
Also, as you note, the campaign(s) fell far short of its goals anyhow, so GoFundMe was going to shut down the page one way or the other if he didn’t.
Technically the hed is correct, in that the campaign (as distinct from the page) is no longer raising funds directly for Il Douche’s federal border wall (because it couldn’t) but for an amateur-hour 501c with a board of advisors that looks like the Legion of Doom that claims it will build the wall privately (which also makes no sense unless one is a sucker).
Shouldn’t zat be “Be Best”, dahlink?
