Former President Trump’s rallying cry, “Build the wall,” echoed prominently during his tenure, primarily focusing on the Mexican-American border.

In a surprising turn, President Joe Biden seems to be taking a similar, albeit smaller-scale, construction approach—not at the border, but around his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. This initiative aims to enhance privacy and security for the President during his leisure time away from the official duties of the White House.

Construction images reveal workers erecting a wall separating Biden’s beachfront property from neighboring homes. This project has sparked considerable dismay among locals who see it as a contradiction to Biden’s stance against Trump’s border wall ambitions. Featuring large stone pillars and white fencing, the structure is reported to cost nearly half a million dollars, highlighting the extent of efforts to safeguard the President’s privacy at his favored retreat.

Critics, particularly from the Republican camp, have seized on this development to accuse Biden of hypocrisy. They argue that Biden’s personal security measures contradict his opposition to similar border security endeavors proposed by Trump. Ohio Republican Representative Jim Jordan’s tweet, “So, walls work at Joe Biden’s beach house, but not the southern border?” encapsulates the controversy and the political tension surrounding this construction, emphasizing the ongoing debate over the efficacy and symbolism of walls in American political discourse.
