No, I have a problem with a corrupt oligarch who brags about buying political influence — and has been shown to abuse such influence, as in the case where he used corrupt politicians to try to force a widow out of her home so he could park limos.
The State of New Jersey and the Atlantic City Council wished to address a pressing problem — their resort city was only viable half the year. They were having problems of all sorts in the off months, including no year-round work, many houses empty in the off-season attracting petty crime and organized crime, etc. Together with the New Jersey gaming commission, they developed a plan to buld a year-round resort with lots of activities, including restaurants, iindoor swimming, a modern convention hotel, casino gambling, et cetera. All these plans were discussed and published in the Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Trenton and New York newspapers for years before the plan moved into the building stages; and the lady with the boarding house had years to know that her city was going to develop that parcel of land in order to benefit the entire city and region.
Bids for developers took more months, as did the finalization of plans, contracts and financing, all of which were widely publicized. I know. I lived not far from there. The lady had more time to think about how her life would change if she suddenly found her old-fashioned boarding house surrounded by a modern resort, lots of lights and noise at night, and lots of cars and limousines looking for parking.
By the time Trump got involved, most of the other neighbors had realized that there was not just one man involved in the offers for their properties, but a long-developed plan for the perceived greater good by scores of officials and stakeholders, that had the potential for benefit to the city, even though they might have to move. The project hired not only many types of construction workers, but on completion hired hotel managers, restaurateurs, waitstaff, cleaners, casino dealers, valets, accountants, materials and food suppliers, chefs, cooks, amenities vendors, laundries, and a large variety of other services. I have a friend who works there still, 25 years later. She wasn't even out of school when all this planning and development took place.
But I suppose you want her and all the other persons who have made a living there to have foresworn any interest in having a job for all those years because one stubborn old lady wanted to see if she could shake down the developer for even more than his most generous offer of $2.5 million dollars for a dump that recently sold for $500K by her heirs. You see, she used the willing media to martyr herself and play the victim, and all the other parties -- the State government, the NJ Gaming Commission, the municipal government -- were all happy to let the developer take all the heat and pay for the court case, which she won. She never had to give up her house. She thought she could shake him down for more for a smelly old building in the middle of a big urban development plan, but she failed at that. And he built around her, because there were many other stakeholders other than her who were begging for a parking facility so that limousines would not be prowling their residential streets at night looking for three contiguous parking spaces and then trying to parallel park -- or just idling here and there, stinking up the place with gasoline fumes while waiting for tipsy revelers to come toddling down the street laughing at two AM when the bars closed, looking for their cars and limos.
Your screed assumes that he alone targeted a helpless old lady for destruction. But you didn't live around there and watch it unfold. I did.
You have it all wrong; because your emotional desire for a different candidate made you grab a negative headline from the Internet and run with it.
