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

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.

Better than having to gun down diseased illegals in your front yard or hallway leading to your daughters bedroom.

“The best thing would be to take the millions and form a Wall PAC and invade K Street.”
Spoken like a true politician. You’re already stealing this guy’s Wall money and spending it in Washington. Ever thought of running for office...as a Democrat?
We have to buy our politicians like everyone else.
Get ready for a counter attack with the “Report Campaign” button. This is how they hit conservatives on Twitter. Hopefully GFM will recognize that these are only malicious abuse of the system with no basis.

I seriously doubt the government will ever see this money. However, I donated to put my money where my mouth is. It’s really a bit of a protest if you think about it.
Wow! You predicted that big time!!!!!
Tomorrow is payday...
Think of this as “THE DEPLORABLE’S TELETHON”.
“It’s really a bit of a protest if you think about it.”
Absolutely... It makes a huge statement.
WoHOO!

Okay, 5 million by noon central time!
It really does show that we are serious and ready to put our money where our mouth is about this issue.
That is an average of $61/contribution. How many FReepers are there?
IF we all just made a contribution. Whatever you can personally afford.
This thing is gaining traction and is going viral.
Please send the link to your conservative friends.
Why?
Why donate to this gofundme?
Evidently those who donate DO NOT BELIEVE Trump will build the wall. Either through the Military, or have Mexico pay for it, or shut down the government to force budget money to fund it, or what have you.
So. If in fact Trump is not on board with a Border Wall (and God knows no one else in DC is for it), then WHY?
Why throw money at a gofundme to support something that just ain’t gonna happen?
A suggestion for anyone who chooses to donate...
Send a note to the RNC telling them that the amount you donated would have gone to them if they didn’t cave to the Rats on a regular basis.
More importantly it shows that we WILL rally together when it is needed no matter what the cause might be. The words “We will come together” will not be so hollow anymore.
I agree. I honestly believe DJT will get the wall built. Despite the naysayers and our own government trying to impede every step. The President is not failing on his promise. We spoke in November 2016 and we are speaking again now.
I predicted 6.2 mil by end of day....looks as tho that will be a gross underestimate.
