Point is, I didn't care to know. And the fact that Trump did not prevail in that particular case is fine. He went through the proper process. When you are a land developer, you are not going to win every time. You will get turned down a lot by zoning boards, courts, etc.

I think Trump wanted to build the tallest building in the world on the West Side but was turned down. So...he built a bunch of buildings that were shorter. So it goes.

No, the POINT is that Trump has a non-conservative, authoritarian, and leftist view of government power when it comes to property. He believes that governments and big developers' interests should take precedent over property owners' interests if they can successfully use eminent domain to confiscate property.

No developer should EVER try to use the government to forcefully take someone's property for the benefit of a private development. I don't care what the leftists on the Supreme Court said in Kelo; it's unconstitutional and not a "public use".

Quit apologizing for him. I'm not saying he did anything illegal, but it was certainly wrong and immoral.
