Mea culpa, and thank you for bringing that detail to my attention. I had forgotten that Mr. Barron had tried to use the 5th Amendment to force the City of Baltimore to compensate for what I surmise was a loss of revenues to his business as a consequence of water-related damage near his property. (You break it you pay for it.)
"A decade and a half ago, it was fresh on everyone’s mind that Donald Trump is one of the leading users of this form of state-sanctioned thievery."
It remains that Kelo v. New London, along with Trump’s alleged involvement in working with state / local governments to force private land owners to sell their land for development purposes is not protected by the “public use” restriction that the 5th Amendment puts on the federal government.
Note that citizens could work with their local and state government lawmakers to make laws to protect themselves from forced property sales if they understood that the 5th Amendment eminent domain clause doesn’t protect their property from the states to the same extent that it protects them from the feds.
