6. There's not actually anything built yet

I saw an update from a couple weeks ago and basically all that's been done so far is excavation. And not that much either, they appear to be digging very slowly. This makes me wonder if Trump's intention all along was never actually to build anything, but just have the minimum amount of activity to claim the construction is progressing, and the pocket all the "donations" before he leaves office.
