Since you have not provided any ‘proof’ of your claim that Trump STOLE land from people using ID laws, I have researched it myself.

In the two cases where TRUMP tried to buy property from land owners, Both tried to scam him for big bucks and in both cases, Trump was unsuccessful in purchasing the property.

“The city would become a partner with Trump Connecticut Inc. and obtain the land through its powers of condemnation. Trump would in turn buy the land from the city.”
Do you not see anything wrong with that? If not, then you could care less about property rights and instead are okay with Trump strong arming by use of government.

Vera Coking, had owned property near the Trump Plaza Hotel for three decades, and didn’t want to move. Trump thought the land was better suited for use as a park, a parking lot, and a waiting area for limousines. He tried to negotiate, at one point offering Coking $1 million for the land. But she wasn’t budging. So New Jersey’s Casino Reinvestment Development Authority filed a lawsuit, instructing Coking to leave within 90 days and offering compensation of only $251,000. Perhaps the only upside to this story is that in neither case did Trump succeed. The Bridgeport plan fizzled. Coking fought in court, and — in part because these were the days before Kelo was decided, no doubt — she was lucky enough to win. In 1998, a judge threw out the case.
Yeah they were dealing with the city, not Trump and you're defending this form of governmental intrusion on people. Trump wanted that property to put a parking lot on. Anyways, he lost.
