And yet when many of these things are viewed in retrospect — take Kelo as an example, the proposed project was NEVER built there and the result was sheer waste — wisdom comes. And Trump is listening to wisdom now or he never would have been able to put together a case as cogent as he now has.
That's irrelevant to Trump's support of the Supreme Court decision.
And he tried the same thing:
Those means didn’t include offering Coking better terms. Instead Trump turned to a New Jersey government agency — the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority — which condemned the widow’s home, agreed to acquire it on Trump’s behalf for $251,000, and ordered Coking to move out within 90 days. Under the Constitution, governments may take private property only for “public use.” Trump wished to use the Coking land as a waiting area for limousines at the Trump Plaza Hotel.See here and here.
This is not the type of person conservatives should want to " preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
