A December fundraising campaign brought in more than $20 million over the course of a few weeks, its thousands of donors united by a common goal: the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, oft-promised by President Trump.
But four months later, a contingent of those supporters would like to see what their money has built.
The now-famous border wall GoFundMe was conceived by Purple Heart recipient Brian Kolfage, who wrote at the time he was upset by too many illegals . . . taking advantage of the United States taxpayers, and the political games from both parties when it came to border security. Kolfage, a triple amputee, pressed onward despite falling short of his $1 billion goal launching a nonprofit to build portions of the wall on private land for a fraction of what it costs the government.
While the majority of donors continue to believe in Kolfages efforts, the nonprofits clandestine operations and assurances of progress are insufficient for others. Some have taken to social media, seeking photos, videos anything for evidence they arent being misled.

Probably went to Trump's pocket.
