Why are the materials being sold?
Section 2890 of the National Defense Authorization Act, introduced by Republican lawmakers in the House, requires the Department of Defense to develop a plan to use, transfer or donate all “covered materials” purchased for border barrier construction between fiscal years 2017 and 2022.
The law mandated that the Department of Defense submit a plan “to use, transfer, or donate to States on the southern border of the United States all covered materials” within 75 days of the National Defense Authorization Act’s enactment and begin executing it 100 days later.
The process continued “until the date on which the Department of Defense is no longer incurring any costs to maintain, store, or protect the covered materials.” This led to the eventual sale of a portion of these materials through GovPlanet, a government surplus marketplace.
After fulfilling requests from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and eligible border states, transferring nearly 60% of the materials, the Department of Defense sold the remaining 40% through a competitive sales contract.
The material currently being sold through GovPlanet online auctions no longer belongs to the U.S. Government, and DoD has no legal authority to recall the material or stop further resale of material it no longer owns.
Either Trump knows that and is playing you for a fool, or he doesn't and he's the fool 🤷🏻♂

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said in a conversation with Fox News host Laura Ingraham that Texas will begin to make plans to purchase materials for the southern border wall and “give it to [President-elect Donald] Trump.”
“I got a billion dollars in my pocket to do it,” Patrick said. “I will go in and buy it all.”
