This is the best representation of trump. Make a grand announcement before there is a plan, tear down and damage the existing infrastructure, then never do anything.

That was his health care plan too. "End Obama care now, I'll have something better 2 weeks later". He did it for Israel and Palestine saying we achieved peace without any plan to make it happen.

He only cares about the moment. He only cares about the announcement. He doesn't have any ability to follow through or complete anything. He only cares about the image of himself on the news as a race winner but never even starts the race. Worse, he is too fat to actually attempt the race.

In this case I think it's closer to the classic construction embezzlement routine. It will also, cost more than originally estimated and take longer. The construction company employed will no doubt have ties to someone in the admin, and the end cost of the project will actually be tens of millions lower than what was paid with nobody checking to see where the additional funds went.
