"Those lands would probably be sold to large investors."

So what's the problem? Large investors create industry, jobs, income, taxes, et al. Trump is a myopic commercial real estate mogul who hasn't the least clue on the best use of public land. In fact, I've recently learned that he forced some old lady out her house by pressuring the local government to claim "eminent domain" to build a f*cking parking lot for a casino.

And no, I don't care how much she was offered for the property, it was hers and she wanted live her life there. A good example of another obscene USSC decision to allow municipalities to confiscate under the "eminent domain" clause for the good of private builders. That has to be one of the most unConstitutional decisions I've ever seen in my lifetime. Sorry, forgot the name of the suit but believe it was some beach front property in Florida or New Jersey.

I do not like big government, big banks, big corporations, big unions big media, etc.

I do not trust any entity that has the power run our everyday lives be they public or private.

Where did you learn that? From a cereal box or lying Cruz ad?

Trump did want her property for a lot for an expansion on the casino and was willing to pay her up to $5 million for it. Keep in mind, this is a house she and her husband bought for $20,000 in 1961. She did not want to sell and went to court. She won the case and Trump walked away and did not build the expansion.

Ms. Coking...held out until she moved to a retirement community in California in 2011, at which point her grandson, Ed Casey, put the property on the market for $5 million."

Which was ridiculous as the house had been assessed at $580,000 in 2009.

"But by then the fortunes of Atlantic City had reversed, taking Ms. Coking's property value down with them."

The house sold at auction in 2014 for $530,000.
