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.
Again, neither Trump or any other developer has the ability to forcefully take any private property. They must follow the process and a court of law will decide the matter. Eminent domain goes back to our founding fathers. It is in the Constitution. The Constiturion also makes provision for fair compensation but in practice, the compensation greatly exceeds market value.
