I am not a Trump hater and will vote for him if he is the Republican nominee. (just as I did McCain and Romney...and THOSE guys I hated!)
If you have a defense of his Kelo praise, please bring my attention to it.
Saying it was a good deal and she should have taken it doesn’t wash.
An unconstitutional land grab is wrong, regardless of the price.
The peasants of the United States haven't owned our own land since every state except Alaska grabbed it within the last 20-30 years.
If you disagree with me, pay off your land/house mortgage, then refuse to pay your property taxes.
Three years, you'll find out who REALLY owns "your" land...
I do have a good defense for Donald Trump. He only did what a good businessman would do. He met with the city officials, pitched the fact that this was good for the city, it would help increase tourism, increase employment, increase tax revenues, etc. The city fathers bought the Trump’s sales pitch, agreed that it was in the best interest of the city (which it was) and invoked eminent domain, inappropriately in this instance. According to the courts, they should have said refused. Don’t blame Trump, he wanted it but he did not and could not invoke eminent domain; only the controlling governmental authority can do this. Blame the city officials who abused the laws regarding eminent domain. They are the ones responsible. Trump is only guilty of being a good businessman and a good salesman with some clever ideas and good lawyers.
she was offered two million for a dump and she stayed there .
her heirs sold the place for nothing just recently.
The Kelo dispute were people forced off there land and reimbursed poorly but she never left .
She was given a great deal of money..
I feel sorry for her heirs stuck with a worthless property now that the casinos closed down.
