President Trump on the Biden administration selling off sections of his border wall: "Now it's about double the price of what it would've been six years ago, and the administration is trying to sell it for five cents on the dollar... It's almost a criminal act."
But now
we
ordered an additional 200 miles of wall.
It's very expensive.
And now it's about double the price of what it would have been 6 years ago.
And
the administration
is trying to sell it for 5 cents on the dollar, knowing that we're getting ready to put it up.
And what they're doing is really an act.
It's almost a criminal act.
They know we're going to use it. And if we don't have it, we're going to have to rebuild it. And it'll cost double what it cost years ago, and that's hundreds of millions of dollars, because you're talking about
a
lot of wall.
I built much more than I said I was going to build, but then after it was built, I said, You know, we can do
some more because it's sort of like water people flow through,
and that will pretty much really take care of it. And what happened is they just, as you see, they're trying to sell it for 5 cents of the dollar.
And that's really
— That has nothing to do with a smooth
transition. That has to do with
people really trying to stop our nation.
And all it means, really, is that we're going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars more,
Not even talking about the time. Time would be pretty
long. But we'll spend hundreds of millions of dollars more
on building the same wall that we already have.
