🚨 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. 🇺🇸
