The biggest problems facing America:

1) UNemployment & how manufacturing jobs stolen by China

2) Foreclosures

3) Food prices

4) Gas prices & how OPEC is fleecing Americans

5) Illegal aliens costing Billions & lowering wage levels

This domain business is nowhere near the top, and even more pertinent, Trump can not decide which property will be acquired under domain rules. I was just tutoring my high school kid on US Constitution and one of the amendments says that the government shall not confiscate private property without JUST COMPENSATION. In other words the government can acquire property so long as proper compensation is paid?

Then it’s possible you've missed the point of the Malkin article. Trump is pushing his way around and taking the property he wants, and for private purposes, not public purposes, despite what you have learned and correctly stated as the proper constitutional process. That's what was so evil about the Kelo decision. They threw away two centuries of protecting individual property rights against powerful private individuals acting through government agencies to take property by force for private use. Malkin calls it theft, and it is.

So, despite your list of other woes, that's a big freakin deal in our struggle with the left, because the heart and soul of socialism/Marxism is the abolishing of individual property rights. Any individual claiming to be the conservative savior, who is in practice on the same page as the socialists with regard to property rights, can offer no real resistance to the corruption of our system, and thus all the symptoms you list will continue unabated. The cure is not more of the same, but someone who understands and believes in those things that protect our individual rights to life, liberty, and property as against the collective. Anything less is just anther way to waste a vote.
