Thread: Donald Trump's eminent domain love nearly cost a widow her house

The failure was by the lawyers who worked for the government who didn't go the New Jersey Supreme Court armed with the limits of use they needed to win the case. As you pointed out, Trump didn't have standing to handle that part of it, only incompetent government could mess up their own right of eminent domain.

Wrong again. Trump failed in his ultimate goal of acquiring the property, regardless of whom he had working the issue for him.

Any time you're involved with government to do a project, you can bet something will get screwed up by some incompetent. It's why redevelopment of decrepit and blighted areas is so difficult and so rarely done in our country.

Take Flint Michigan for example. Jars and jars of rust-colored government water being hauled into government offices and government officials telling these poor people it's "safe" to drink.

Our country is in such a mess, it's just unbelievable.
