That makes no sense to me. “Just Compensation” is the rule.

You cited the 5th Amendment as the basis of your argument.

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

It also says "for public use." How does that square, in any way, with what Trump said in the quote I posted? He isn't talking about public use.
