I remember a story yrs ago about a woman who was being forced out of home because Trump wanted the land for a hotel/casino. Don’t remember what ever happened in the end.

Her name was Vera Coking

Actually, Trump wanted her property to build a parking lot for limos.

She recently sold the house for much less than once offered. She was never forced out.

The complex was at the center of a major eminent domain court case in the mid-1990s, when Trump Enterprises sought to obtain the property of Vera Coking, a retired homeowner whose house was adjacent to Trump Plaza.[15] In Coking vs. C.R.D.A., Donald Trump, and Trump Plaza, Mrs. Coking was victorious,[16] and plans to build a limousine parking lot on her property were thwarted. Mrs. Coking was represented Pro bono, by Institute for Justice (IJ) [17] IJ is a public interest law firm.
