Well, DUH.
If the team had waited for taxpayers to pay for things they would be playing on the local university fields.

THAT is what stinking rich folks DO.
I have absolutely NO problem with that.
It was worth it, just to give Mr. 100 MPH pitcher a place to SHINE. :o)

The point was that Jeb should be the last one complaining about eminent domain. I thought Trump hit it out of the park with that disclosure.

"If the team had waited for the taxpayers........"

As always, Trump is full of shit.
