You are the one pushing ideas [in the case, a lie].* I’ll stick with facts. Trump offered Coking money for her house. He did not, and could not by law, sue her.
You’re both right. Atlantic City, not Trump himself, sued Coking in eminent domain, contending that its pre-suit offer of $251k was reasonable compensation. (Coking wanted more, noting that Bob Guccioni of Penthouse fame had offered her $1M years earlier.)
But the city was doing so effectively at Trump’s behest so that he could build Trump Plaza. If there were no push to get Trump Plaza built, there’d’ve been no lawsuit. The judge ended up ruling — pre-Kelo, of course — that eminent domain was unavailable because a casino is not a “public use” like a military base or a public road.
