Credit Mark Levin with bursting the Trump bubble. Just last week he was the first voice on the right to thoroughly dissect Trump’s history of political activity (donations to Hillary, Weiner, Rahm, Schumer and others).
He was also the first to ask a number of important questions about Trump’s world view, including, “What does he think about Kelo?” The Club for Growth is out today with the answer … directly from Trump himself from 2005 on Fox News.
“I happen to agree with it 100 percent, not that I would want to use it. [note below, he would actually want to use it]

Agree. But as we know, that wasn't the case in Kelo. It was taken from a private owner and went to Pfizer, private enterprize. Apparently sets well with some.
The larger point in this story is that Trump agreed with that decision and would seek to trample the rights of an elderly widow to build his parking lot for his mammoth casino in AC. Fortunately, dirtbag Trump lost in court and the widow continued to enjoy her home. Now said dirtbag wants to be president? He'll never get my vote.
Trump’s a mercenary. Some like the Koch brothers have their minds right but Trump will donate to anyone if he believes he will benefit.
He also said he supports the ban on "assault weapons". But then why wouldn't he, he is a self-described democrat.
But we know Kelo wasn't for that. It was for Pfizer, private enterprize.
Where is Cringy?
The Koch Brothers are for gay marriage and open borders.
Has he ever done a conservative job?
“he’s a guy who gets the job done.”
So was Pol Pot. What’s your point?
The Reagan category. Someone who can inspire the nation and will make excellent choices to serve him in his cabinet and other appointed positions.
I've been thinking about that, and thinking about what does the US need now. And I'm reading all of this nit-picking about specific things that might not sit right, not about potential. I think I know what I want, and I imagine people will start calling me a Communist or whatever.
What the US needs is an American Putin. Someone who loves his country, will fight for it, and will respect its people and traditions. As with Putin, it has to be someone who can serve us in an inspiring and impressive way now, someone we can trust to do what's best for us.
The person who speaks to US citizens in those terms is the one who has a real excellent chance of bringing in people to their cause.
Cult of personality alert? Just criticize Cruz, and notice how many people land on top of you, not with refutation, but with venom. I know nothing of Kelo, but all of us have been warned about TPA/TPP, which subordinates the nations sovereignty, and, according to Obama’s ally McConnell, transfers to Obama great and new authority. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio voted for it. Now, of the two concepts, which is more harmful to the nation?
I’d advise reading up on Kelo before you throw in with The Donald. And his little fight with the little old lady in Atlantic City.
Most get a pittance out of eminent domain deals. Nothing worth what the property becomes the minute it is taken by the state.
He tried the same thing to a farmer in Scottland:

Trump is a joke. He might give a good speech now and then, but he has a lot of stupid baggage
If I remember right he did screw a lot of folks out of money on some condo’s in Florida.
He is a cold blooded business man but I love his attitude that he doesn’t give a crap what the press thinks about what he says. He makes the competition run for cover.
Well, there’s that, I grant you. As long as he doesn’t turn into a spoiler.
Even Alan Colmes knows Kelo was wrongly decided.
What about Cruz’s cuddling with Obama I described? Care to comment?
Was that supposed to impress me? I happen to agree with the dissenting conservatives Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas on the issue.
