Trump’s right. Privately owned factories and pipelines and many privately owned enterprises that require large tracts of land depend upon eminent domain.

You’d never build a hydroelectric dam and create the huge backwater lakes without eminent domain. Thousand of acres of private owned land are taken.

Don’t forget how much land was given to the railroads by the federal government ... and then the Homestead Act.
