Erasing the Failure: Trump Taking Back Border Wall Material That Biden Abandoned
Redstate ^ | 08/10/2025 | Bobe Hoge

Upon taking office in January 2021, former President Joe Biden wasted no time in opening the border to any and all comers. In one of his first moves as commander in chief, he ridiculed Donald Trump’s efforts to build a wall and simply abandoned millions of dollars of equipment and supplies that had been intended to fortify our southern boundary.

Now Trump wants it back:

The global government-surplus auction house that listed unused components of President Donald Trump’s border wall under the Biden administration told Fox News Digital on Friday that it plans to coordinate with the Trump administration to return some of the materials to the federal government. 🚨 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. 🧵👇 pic.twitter.com/bfsab3IwoN — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) August 10, 2025 Border Czar Tom Homan, who my colleague Ward Clark likes to call “the Hammer,” has been working on a deal:

In a statement to Fox News Digital, GovPlanet – an auction clearinghouse for public-sector and government surplus – announced Friday they have reached a breakthrough deal with the Trump administration.

"GovPlanet has reached an agreement, working with the Office of the Border Czar, to return border wall materials that were previously deemed surplus and sourced by the federal government to GovPlanet via existing contracts," said the company, a subsidiary of an Illinois-founded, British Columbia-based international operation called Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers-RB Global.

"A third-party firm that has been contracted for construction of the border wall will take receipt of the materials over the next 90 days," GovPlanet added.

And I remember back just a little way when the President could only do one thing at a time and took his own sweet time doing it. How refreshing to have President Trump in office.

Precisely.

Better check each piece to make sure it hadn’t been tampered with.

Any costs associated with this return should be billed directly to Joe Biden, Majorkas, and Kamala Harris. Bankrupt the looters.

Trump is the quintessential multi-tasker!

Not true! There are many documented instances of Joe Biden eating ice cream and crapping his diaper at the same time.

Richie Brothers was smart not to get cross-wise with this President simply to collect a few undeserved taxpayer dollars ...

Ice cream.
Remember the media freaking out over Trump having two scoops of ice cream?
Then they constantly showed Biden with two scoops of ice cream.
I don’t know why it was such a problem for them or why they felt it was an “own” but it was and they did.
