It would be just another example of California going rogue and proving they're an enemy of the US. The feds should just let them secede, cutting all federal aid and put guards on the border.
With California seeing itself as championing "the resistance" and making threats of nullification of federal law, and with the feds threatening to arrest California officials, could California decide to take the resistance one step further and seize property in the state owned by the Trump Organization, such as the Trump National Golf Club in Palos Verdes (Los Angeles County), or the 555 California building in San Francisco? Maybe use eminent domain to seize the Trump National Golf Club and build housing for homeless transgender illegals on it? I wonder what the repercussions would be. (Trump's advocacy of Kelo v. New London and Agenda 21 would make him look like a hypocrite on this issue, but I'm curious as to how this would play out. I am definitely NOT advocating it, just considering what would happen under this scenario.)
And exactly what legitimate public works project (nothing involving housing for homeless transgender illegal aliens from outer space, obviously) are we contemplating, such that CA would have to consider acquiring this Trump property or that in order to have a place upon which to build the same?
A highway? A bridge? A pipeline? High-speed rail? Anything remotely resembling a bonafide public works project?
None, you say? We're not building anything at all on anything Trump currently owns? So CA would be attempting to use eminent domain to expropriate assets from Trump merely out of political spite?
Too bad. So sad. Eminent domain isn't available merely for the purpose of stealing someone's property simply because you don't like them.
Not even in California.
And that's how it would play out. Which is to say, of course, that it wouldn't.
Not without a compelling interest. Revenge is not such a one, and it would lose in court.
Any other nonsense?

And there's your answer.
milton is right. and of course it would play out in a long hard fought court battle that would cost the state of california a ton of money to prosecute, and after losing trump would probably sue the state for prosecutorial misconduct, win a huge judgement from the state, and it would again ultimately wend its way to the supreme court again, where trump would likely win the case, ultimately costing the state another ton of money, beyond the judgement against them.
after those losses in the courts, the state would then raise taxes on everyone, since if they only raised them on trump they would again lose in court, and have an even larger deficit/debt.

Is this something that has been discussed outside of your head or is this just another stupid post?
Trump abused eminent domain to seize people's homes for his development projects. I wouldn't feel the least bit sorry for him if the table were turned on him.
Eminent domain is not possible without government intervention.
It would be just another example of California going rogue and proving they're an enemy of the US. The feds should just let them secede, cutting all federal aid and put guards on the border.
Forbes said he was worth 3.7 billion before the election. Where did you dig up $300 million?
Trump biographer Timothy O'Brian wrote that Trump's net worth is between $150 million and $250 million.
