I don’t care.
I care about illegals. NOTHING else matters in 2016.

The elites have pushed the people too far. Now we simply don’t give a damn as long as we can have someone tell his fellow elites to go screw themselves.

When someone offers you money for your property and everyone else has sold theirs and moved on, you get the most you can and move on. Life isn’t fair, ad massive building projects will be built.

If Trump were to issue a policy position that eminent domain should be expanded beyond what is currently acceptable under the law then I would consider the article relevant..

But, did he invest state pensions in Lehman Brothers that went bankrupt and cost pensioners their funds?

Donald Trump gave me a hangnail... and fleas... and he was responsible for the anchovies I didn’t want on my pizza.

OK, now that I’ve read the story twice....

It seems TWO TIMES Trump tried this, and both times he failed.

SO.... these ‘owners’ did not lose their property. Anyone who says TRUMP STOLE their property through Imminent Domain laws is wrong.

As I said on another thread, NO ONE seems to mind the use of Imminent Domain when they drive down the Interstate.

I don’t care either. He helped that widow pay off her mortgage - paid off a couple’s mortgage who helped him when his limo was stranded - gave that Marine $25,000 after he got out of the Mexican jail, and I’m sure there are numerous acts of charity we’ll never know about. The lady was offered a million dollars for her place, others sold and she was the lone hold out. She could have purchased a nicer place and socked some of that money away for the rest of her life. I choose to think of the good things he has done which seem to outweigh this incident.
