Mysterious User 'OrangeMan47' Snatches Up All Border Wall Materials In Online Auction
The Babylon Bee ^ | Dec 13, 2024

Posted on 12/13/2024 10:24:42 AM PST by McGruff

Just days after news leaked that President Joe Biden was quietly selling unused border wall construction materials via online auction, presumably as a gesture of defiance against incoming President Donald Trump, a mysterious user named "OrangeMan47" swooped in to purchase every listing.

Evidence indicated OrangeMan47 was a new account on GovPlanet, the online auction house used by the Biden administration. The account has zero user feedback and an incomplete profile, but President Biden was unconcerned. "Money is money," the president said. "Whether it comes from someone in the United States... or Ukraine... or China... or... or... wherever. I'm happy to take money from... from... the places. Listen, folks, we just want to unload this wall stuff before that other guy takes power. We've got to keep it away from him."

A review of the sale from OrangeMan47 read:

These are bargain bin prices. Can be used to build a big, beautiful wall. Would buy from again! A++++ MAGA!

Administration officials admitted they were not aware of the buyer's identity. "It doesn't matter who buys it, really," said one White House source. "As long as it's all been sold off before Trump takes office, we'll be good. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he finds out all his precious border wall materials are gone."

Augmented: From what I saw, they were being sold for $5 each so not a “lot of money” is needed. ($11K x 5 = $55K)

I know it's humor, but I wonder what people would pay for a small piece of Trump's wall.

Probably not worth the time and effort to cut it up into manageable sized souvenirs.

😉👌

Hope the check bounces. Of all the disgusting things Bideobama has done, this is low even for them.
