Casino's and motel/hotels and malls etc should not fall under Eminent Domain acts. How Trump has obtained his wealth does bother me. Like it or not it's mainly by Casino operations. Casino's serve no other function than to separate persons from their money. Their product is a false hope of one paying their money to a casino in the form of bets with the casino having a huge advantage and winning a fortune. It's like the grab machine used to get kids to pay several dollars in arcades to buy some 50 cent toy.
I see no difference in how Trump got his fortune than Joe Kennedy got his and established the Kennedy fortune. It was off of other peoples misery. That part of Trumps personality concerns me. Trump is a salesman. Whether it's selling cities on the idea of a new casino, a land deal, or his own idea it's all the same. The part of him that has to have attention also is a concern. It's not just positive attention it seems but any kind of attention it seems much like the current Resident.
Will Trump abide with the limits as written into The Constitution and protect and uphold it? Or will he do like Obama run roughshod on his own agendas and as long as some Conservative issues are won make some persons happy? Trump knows what to say to whom and when. That aspect is much like Hillary Clinton who can also play conservative in conservative venues and that scares me.
I think Trumps bottom line is Trump. His support of Romney at a time we had better choices also sticks in my mind. He's a salesman. Our government is not a corporate board room it is an elected representation for We The People. Will We The People be served in a Constitutional manner or will we see yet more of We The Corporate Interest? To whom will Trump serve and to whom does he owe his allegiances? Since 1989 we have witnesses POTUS after POTUS and congress after congress serve interest both foreign and domestic ones other than our own and promise us the moon and deliver misery too us. My support is going to Cruz. He's the one I trust the most based on his own record and his own character. Is the media playing us for fools hyping up Trump because they see Cruz the biggest threat? Remember this. The media could stop coverage of Trump today and by next month many would forget about him.
I consider the Kelo decision to be one of the top 5 worst SCOTUS decision ever.
The fact that Trump supported it and actively used it makes him one of the worst enemies of conservatism.
He must opposed.
He must be actively opposed.
The fact that some Freepers support Trump is unacceptable.
This SCt decision was so onerous to private property that many conservative state legislatures, including Texas I’m proud to say, changed their laws to prevent it from occurring in their state.
I agreed with our Texas legislators. This was BIG GOVERNMENT working with CRONY CAPITALISM. You can’t spin it any other way.
It’s easy to see why Trump would love the decision as it could help his real estate empire if he can get the local government to take away individual’s homes and businesses in order to build one of his huge projects with tax shelters from government.
You Trumpsters will have to rationalize this one if you can.
