Female Announcer:
Vera
Coking's
home was all she had left.
But it stood in Donald Trump's way and the limousine parking lot he
wanted for his casino.
To him she was a nobody.
So Trump schemed with Atlantic City government to force Coking from
her home using eminent domain.
Interview clip:
John Stossel:
You're bullying these people out because they're...
Trump: I'm not;
excuse me. This is a government case. This is not Donald
Trump.
John Stossel:
Yes, it's Donald Trump. It's you and your cronies in government
working together.
Female Announcer:
Public
power.
Private gain.
Interview clips:
Trump: I
offered her a lot of money out of this, a little thing called heart.
Vera Coking:
Heart? He doesn't have no heart, that man.
Female Announcer:
Trump
bankrolled
politicians to steamroll the little guy.
A pattern of sleaze stretching back decades.
Worse?
Trump still supports eminent domain today.
Chris Wallace:
Do
you
support taking private property for private use?
Trump: I am
for that.
Trump:
Eminent domain is wonderful...
Trump: Yes we
have to use the power of eminent domain...
Female Announcer:
Trump
uses
power for personal gain. Imagine the damage he could
do as president.
Notes: Pretty suspicious cut where Trump says "I am for that."
