GoFundMe for the wall is shut down
Veteran Brian Kolfage launched a GoFundMe account in December to fund trump's wall. Even though trump loves to say the whole country wants the wall, the fund came up a little short. Donations did start out seemingly strong, then slowed and has now been canceled. Questions also surfaced about Kolfages use of funds from a previous GoFundMe campaign he used to fabricate fake news against liberal groups and politicians. He says he's going to refund donations or, if donors agree, he'll put the money toward a new company that'll build sections of the wall itself. He's part of a company that includes Erik Prince, a trump consultant. Kolfage raised over $16,000 for a veterans mentorship program in a 2015 GoFundMe campaign, three military hospitals named by him to receive funds said they never received any money. Looks like trump's spawned another scam artist, raise money for a cause and misappropriate the funds. I think we'll be hearing more about Brian Kolfage in the future.

Re: GoFundMe for the wall is shut down
"When the campaign was created, the campaign organizer specifically stated on the campaign page, 'If we don't reach our goal or come significantly close we will refund every single penny,'
" GoFundMe told CNN. "He also stated on the campaign page, '100% of your donations will go to the Trump Wall. If for ANY reason we don't reach our goal we will refund your donation.'"
"That did not happen. This means all donors will receive a refund," GoFundMe told CNN.
However, the campaign page was still up early Saturday and accepting donations, and it's unclear when it will be taken down. GoFundMe said it is up to the campaign organizer to determine when it will be shut down.
He's another crook!!
