I believe Trump has stated that eminent domain made him rich.
Mississippi had a ballot initiative that passed and limits eminent domain to public use and prohibits the taking of private property otherwise. Haley Barbour strongly endorses Trump’s eminent domain, taking a persons farm to build a factory and giving them market value and nothing for being uprooted, leaving the family farm and starting over. Trump likes to “deal make” and negotiate, let him, the developer, do it with the property owner. These private real estate investments some time work out and properties become very valuable and then through eminent domain the developer can reap those profits through legalized theft.
