"drug dealers", "rapists", and "bad hombres" to be more Trump specific...

Funny how they always seem to "forget" that part of the Great Promise.

Default GoFundMe Wall project will build a section of wall

I got an update from Brian Kolfage, the amputee vet who created the original GoFundMe page where he received $20M. I didn't ask for a refund and it seems very few did even after the fake news said it would never happen. If you did ask for a refund because you were unsure this project would go forward, you might want to rethink it and become part of this historic event.
I've been getting email updates and here is the latest:

Good news! Thanks to all of your generous support, the scoreboard at www.gofundme.com/thetrumpwall will not drop below $20,000,000 even after GoFundMe has processed the refunds of donors who chose to opt-out of the new plan to build a wall on private property on the southern border.

I wanted to share this email I received from WeBuildTheWall, Inc.'s VP of Strategy Dustin Stockton while he was preparing for our site-selection trip next week. Our team is working extremely hard to start construction on our first segment of border wall ASAP.

Hey team,

I wanted to give everyone an update from all of us down here in Texas. Everything is looking good for the arrival of Brian and the site-selection committee next week. Over the last couple days we've made contact with about a dozen land-owners who would be excited to partner with us to protect their property and our border. We will meet with most of them when you get here.

We've also been meeting with a variety of border experts, local and state officials, and contractors who are eager to help. When I tell them how fast we want to break ground, they agree that it's ambitious but not impossible.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone on the border next week.

Let's get this wall built,

Dustin Stockton
VP of Strategy and Marketing, WeBuildTheWall Inc.
@DustinStockton

Next week we will have media embedded with us in Texas, some very special guests, and some other surprises that are going to trigger the purveyors of FakeNews.

Make sure to follow along by following us on Social Media and by checking your email!

Private donations cannot be used to fund a federal project. How does this grifter plan to get around that little obstacle?

He says he is in touch with land owners. Maybe they are going to build only on private property.

Their property, their prerogative. As long as the U.S. taxpayers aren't on the hook for construction or maintenance, they can do what they want. But what about the landowners that don't want a wall? Will there be huge gaps between properties?
