Not unless you're too lazy to read the financial disclosure required of all candidates which lists all assets and liabilities.

As a general note on this thread, most of you don't know the square root of **** concerning eminent domain or the implications of Kelo.

Financial wealth is an indicator of success and is relevant in response to one's criticism of Trump's business acumen.

If Trump Inc does not pay its Real Estate taxes, put a lien on it. That would be fun to watch.

This thread has nothing to do with Trump's business talent or lack thereof.

If it did by some chance, I would not want to be those he would take vengeance upon. It would blow back on them hard and pull in a lot of innocents.

Maybe NK would accidently drop a nuke on the state. (just kidding!)

It's like California is poking a giant and WANTS something bad to happen much like a lot of Europe is doing to themselves.

Really, the state is willing to go to war with the feds over illegals... it is not based on compassion for sure. California is as greedy and dishonest as they accuse Trump and the republicans to be.

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.)
Anybody that agrees with this, is all for straight up communist dictatorship.

The post is gone now (I wonder if someone from Bloomberg complained), so I won't post a link from the same source (I found one from May 2017), but there was a 2018 post for a very progressive CD member on the 'Oprah says she won't run for President' thread with a real time link (to prove Oprah's net worth vs. Trump's) from Bloomberg (certainly not Tump fans) that pegged Oprah's net worth at 3.9 billion (re the recent run up in the Weight Watchers stock price) and Trump at between 2.8 and 2.9 billion.

The link from Bloomberg that I found a few minutes ago from May of 2017 pegged Trump at 2.9 billion...about 8 months ago. That link included their tracking of the total amount of debt Trump is carrying ($550 million) and mentioned that the most recent (as of May) dive in Trump's net worth to 2.9 is largely a result of the decline in value of Trump Tower and two other New York buildings.

Which describes a higher percentage of California's population than that of other states.
