Well since you made the claim you should back it up with documentation. Otherwise I and the others reading your assertion will think you are just a loud mouth liar. So go ahead and document Trump getting rich from eminent domain.
The Don himself has said that he built his fortune on eminent domain.
I’ve posted these links before. Will you actually read them this time, or simply dismiss them as lies and go on peddling your false narrative?

Take particular note of this one:
In 1994 when Trump promised to turn Bridgeport, Connecticut, a city of fewer than 150,000 residents, into a “world class†center, he explained that with his money, and the assistance of local government officials, Bridgeport would become “a national tourist destination by building a $350 million combined amusement park, shipping terminal and seaport village [Bridgeport is located on the Pequonnock River and Long Island Sound] and office complex on the east side of the harbor.†According to the Hartford Courant, which reported on the event, Trump used the phrase “world class†in “almost every statement.â€
At the announcement, socialist mayor Joseph Ganim (Bridgeport has had an avowed socialist mayor for the last 24 years) yukked it up with The Donald — the two of them praising each other for each other’s foresight and ingenuity, and speaking of “returning Bridgeport to its glory days.â€
The only problem was that five businesses and the city-owned Pleasure Beach occupied the parcel targeted by Trump and Ganim. The solution? Explained the Courant:
The city would become a partner with Trump Connecticut, Inc. and obtain the land through its powers of condemnation. Trump would in turn buy the land from the city.
The entire development would cost the city nothing, Trump said, and no private homeowners would be affected because there were no dwellings on the land. Trump would own everything.
In 1993, after the developer failed to complete the project, Trump entered the picture, putting up the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino. But Trump needed a parking lot for all those limousines that would be bringing wealthy guests to stay and gamble, and, once again, the Cokings’ property stood in the way. Like the previous developer, Trump offered Vera Coking, now a widow, $1 million, and once again she turned it down.
This time Trump didn’t just go away. His friends with New Jersey’s Casino Reinvestment Development Agency filed suit, offering Coking $251,000 and threatening to evict her within 90 days if she didn’t accept the offer.

In the view of Donald Trump, “the greater good†overrules individual freedom. His eminent domain stance is far outside the realm of the republican form of government, the guiding philosophy of the United States of America, which emphasizes limited government, private property rights and self-governance. But in order to muddy the waters about what Trump actually believes, he threw up the Keystone Pipeline as if it is the same thing.
So, I no longer want to hear some passenger on the Trump Train tell me that Trump’s not a skilled politician and that he’s beholden to no one. He has deflected from his role in trying to force a lady to sell her home so that he could personally benefit. He used political maneuvering to make it so, a well-hewn political straw man argument to sell it, leaving us to recall all of his donations to certain Democratic politicians who were “there for him†when he needed them.
