The Brian Kolfage GoFundMe wall scam has almost ground to a halt

Just over two months after setting up the GoFundMe to build the border wall, donations have virtually dried up, given that people can donate nationwide, in the last 24 hours, only 124 donations were made, raising just $6,200. It seems like 'everything Trump touches DOES die', as ever since Kolfage claimed that Trump had given his fund his blessing (even though there is no documentary evidence to back this up), donations have fallen off a cliff. After huge donations at the start, the total has been stuck at $20m for weeks now, with only a vague promise that building will start in 'a few months'.

Probably not a great time for Kolfage to launch a merchandise range associated with the fund, but that's exactly what he has done. How much of the fund has been used for that I wonder - and how much for the 'Town Hall' event held this week with new board member Steve Bannon? Their 'board of directors' really is represented by the elite of MAGA-rascals.

so that $20 million will shrink even further.

Its time to sell lego blocks to the faithful at $20.00 per. Shipping and handling extra.
