GoFundMe for border wall raises more than $2M in just 3 days

By Ben Feuerherd 2-3 minutes

A supporter of President Trump’s border wall proposal has started a GoFundMe to help pay for the project — and the fund skyrocketed to more than $2 million on Wednesday night after being live for just three days.

Brian Kolfage, a Trump voter and disabled Iraq War veteran with no connection to the administration, wrote that he set up the page because “President Trump’s main campaign promise was to BUILD THE WALL. And as he’s followed through on just about every promise so far, this wall project needs to be completed still.”

Trump campaigned on building a “great wall” on the southern border during the 2016 presidential election.

As the end of Trump’s second year in office comes to a close, his administration has not built the wall or secured funds for it — and a budget proposal passed Wednesday by the Senate did not fulfill Trump’s call to provide funds for it.

Kolfage wrote on his fundraising page that if every Trump voter donates $80 to his wall-building campaign, they will raise $5 billion needed to build the border wall.

“Even if we get half, that’s half the wall. We can do this,” Kolfage wrote on the GoFundMe page.

Meanwhile our tax dollars are giving foreign aid to these countries to enrich their dictators, fund sanctuary cities, illegals on public assistance, education and health care. WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? these defiant rat politicians should be tarred and feathered! Our young and the future of this country are being killed by drugs, this continued neglect will surely lose this country for good. THE FORCES OF EVIL INSIDE AND OUT ARE AT WAR WITH THE American PEOPLE

1000 days to get to 1 billion. Ain’t good enough. correct my math if u must. We need a groundswell of support and w/o Trump making a big statement it won’t go nowhere. He shouldn’t say anything until-and if-the path s cleared.

The number of people donating is picking up speed. You can’t extrapolate straight line.

It’s an insult to even think about people donating money for this when Trump is going to sign off on a NO BORDER WALL budget.

The democraps can say they voted for $1.2B for border security that hasn’t been spent yet, but weren’t there strings attached that said the funding was not to be used for construction of a wall? Every time I see a democrap on TV spewing this line, I want to do the Elvis thing - shoot the TV.

There are a THOUSAND million dollars needed to make 1 billion. I understand the frustration to build the wall, but this is more therapeutic than rational. Furthermore, our voluntary tax contributions have already been made to build the wall, which means it is not money that’s the holdup. It is obviously corrupt politicians who do not give a damn about what the American people want.

GoFundMe will boot this drive soon enough for being subversive and anti-American (anti-open borders to their way of thinking). This is a waste of time.
