A Florida man has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money online for President Trump's border wall, saying "it's up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling." As of Thursday afternoon, the GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $6 million, with a goal of $1 billion — a fifth of the $5 billion that President Trump has been demanding, unsuccessfully, from Congress.
Brian Kolfage, who says on the page he is a Purple Heart war veteran who lost three limbs, writes: "If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall." The fundraiser received contributions from more than 100,000 people by Thursday afternoon

And WHO is going to give you people a contract to build the wall? Let alone permission. Buy a gun, for heaven’s sake
That will be better spent money to protect your family, community and state than GoFundMeFantasyWallGame.
So about $4M/mile USD.
If it hits $8M by 4:21 CST that would be $1M/hr rate.
Maybe it should be backwords-engineer
$1M/hr sustained would be AWESOME!
How about this. US government has already awarded contracts to build sections of the wall. Let’s say $1b was provided to these companies such the their bid to the US Government dropped to $100/mile that sure would get a lot done. There are other ways to work this AND it isn’t as much the funding as it is the middle finger to the Congress. That alone is worth $80 to me
Rush did mention the fund when it hit 5.5 mil. Today.
Average Joe and Jane speaking once again. The first time, in 2016, electing Donald J. Trump, a business man as President and Commander In Chief of our Great country. The average American in fly over country are tired of professional politicians not doing what they promise. They become millionaires on government salaries???? Check out Pussy Pelosi.Chucky Schuman. both quite wealthy. Chucky went from college straight into elected servant of NY.
Figured into the DoD’s budget because thats who needs to build and man it 24/7 in perpetuity. Its the official border of our country that needs to be constantly protected. This is why we have a military force.
...and it just went over $7.5 MIL.
Looks like about ~$5.3k/hr. That is line with the rate I have been seeing all day from other posters and my own feeble calculations
As of 5:20pm $7,531,002 of $1.0B goal
Raised by 123,742 people in 3 days
My guess of $8 million by 5:56pm is looking good.
$10 million by 9:05pm is my guess.
Correction:~$530k/hr

one of many ... search “cost of trumps wall per mile”
Different fence design, different country, different border length. Can’t use on to project another - there are already numerous articles on the “cost of trumps wall per mile”
I’m looking forward to Laura Ingram show tonight. By then, we could be at 10 mil.
It all exaggerated lies to make it seem more expensive than it really is. Propaganda. I will stick with $4 Million/mile. That seems reasonable based on my experience in construction.
In three days, that isn’t bad. You have to realize not everyone has even heard of this yet. Many of us will be going back to donate more.
By tomorrow this time it will be growing close to a million dollars an hour.
Within a week, it may hit ten times that much.
We’ll see how it goes.
You know that box on Tax Returns that say something like, Do you want to give $5 to Politicians running for office.
I would love to have a box like that for the Wall. And of course, about 10 other issues I wouldn’t mind giving a little extra.
They could even have a check box for Leftist causes also, so the Lefties can fund Planned Parenthood ect., without making me pay for it.
$4 Million/mile. That seems reasonable based on my experience in construction.
Have you seen the actual blueprints for the Wall, the components, and requirements? If not, then, no matter your experience, there is no way to estimate it without more specific data.
4M a mile almost sounds like the cost of a modern super highway cost - not a hi-tech wall of unknown design or what the bids are that were accepted - this is government work you know :)
