For Pete’s sake, this was to stop the spread of citrus canker, which could have devastated the orange production, and left the growers without any compensation.

It wasn’t using government power to support his private business by seizing land for the business, which is what Trump did. And the only reason he wasn’t able to get away with it was that he was stopped by the court after the old lady filed suit. He had a pretty cozy relationship with corrupt New Jersey government interests.

It was ruled unconstitutional.

Oh, and what of the vet’s land that Jeb, and his environmentalist ‘UN-Agenda 21’ cronies, used ED against? Oh, yeah, that’s right - it’s OK when an GOP establishment jackass does it “to reinvigorate the wetlands” ... Take away a disabled vet’s home and land - so to expand a freaking swamp? That’s just fine and dandy with GOP establishment supporters.

What about when Bush took a disable vet’s land for the environmentalists? Or the Bush family used ED to build their stadium.

Not true. The proposed parking structure was not just for Trump’s use.

What land did Trump seize?

The greedy old lady to which you refer refused to sell even after Trump offered $2 million for her property.

She eventually settled for about $500,000 with the next owners of the property.

So I ask you again: what land did Trump “seize?”
