Summary

After Biden halted Trump's border wall and sold unused materials for a fraction of their value, the auctioneer GovPlanet is now returning the materials to the federal government to resume wall construction. The reversal comes following court battles and political pressure, allowing the Trump administration to complete the wall using the previously discarded materials.

    🚨 TRUMP GETS HIS BORDER WALL BACK 🚨 Biden sold $350 MILLION of unused Trump border wall materials for pennies on the dollar. Now, in a stunning reversal, the auctioneer is sending them BACK to the feds — to finish the wall. This is a wild story. 🧵👇

    2/ When Biden took office, his first move was to stop Trump’s wall. He called it “not a serious policy solution” — then sold the materials off dirt-cheap, in some cases for $1 a panel. Taxpayers ate the loss.

    3/ The waste was massive: • Biden stopped construction • Up to $350M in materials just sitting in the desert • $130,000 PER DAY to guard them • Sold for pennies — one batch of 729 steel beams went for $154,200 It was an insult to taxpayers and border security.

    4/ Texas even bought $12M worth at auction to build their own wall. Border Patrol officials said the sold-off parts could “pretty much be utilized” — and that Biden’s sell-off meant paying AGAIN later to replace them.

    5/ Now, the auctioneer — GovPlanet — says it’s cutting a deal with Trump’s team to return the materials at cost to the federal government. A third-party construction firm will receive them over the next 90 days.

    6/ Quote from GovPlanet: “We are expediting the transfer of these materials to support the administration’s border protection plans… We value our partnership with the U.S. government.” Translation: The waste is reversed, the wall is back on.

    7/ The about-face comes after: • Court battles in Texas freezing the sales • Pressure from state leaders like Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick • Ongoing rulings that Biden’s admin was ignoring orders to use the funds for wall construction

    8/ Bottom line: Trump is building the wall he promised — and it’s being built with the very materials Biden tried to destroy. The subversion is ending. 🇺🇸 rodmartin.org/p/deep-dive-wh…
