Bush didn't invest in a ballpark. He invested in the Texas Rangers.

Then you agree that GWB serendipitously made a killing on his investment in the Texas Rangers: a business enterprise that just happened to build a new stadium with the aid of Gov. Richard's proclamation of eminent domain, which confiscated private property at the exorbitant expense of Arlington taxpayers through an increase in the city sales tax.

Ya gotta give ol' George credit. What a lucky guy! I hope he calls me and cuts me in on his next innocent, eminent domain/taxpayer funded private venture.

Did you think that the Texas Rangers had no financial benefit from the city's financing of and the public's loss of private property through eminent domain?

You can argue whether it is appropriate to use eminent domain for a city-owned stadium - personally I have my doubts. But no matter how you feel on that issue, it is factually incorrect for Trump to say the Bush family used eminent domain. You might even say Trump lied.

There is also a major difference between the ball park issue and Trump's attempt to use eminent domain. In this instance the park is still owned by the city; in Trump's case, he would have owned the property.
