#DumpTrump: Trump Used Eminent Domain to Bully Widow

#DumpTrump: Trump Used Eminent Domain to Bully Widow

If Donald Trump treated your mother the way he once treated another woman, would you consider him to be of fit enough character to become President?

I’m not talking about Megyn Kelly. I’m referring to an elderly woman whom Trump tried to have thrown out of her Atlantic City home by abusing eminent domain.

Vera Coking and her husband bought a 29-room boarding house in 1961 in Atlantic City, since she loved the beach and the boardwalks of that town. As the city expanded and casinos opened, Penthouse publishing mogul Bob Guccione attempted to purchase the property in 1983 for $1 million to construct a casino. No dice, said Coking. Guccione simply built a steel-and-concrete structure around — and even over — her home, damaging it in the process. When his project failed, the land and structure were purchased by Donald Trump, who also removed the skeletal buildings.

Then in May, 1994, Coking received a letter from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) stating that her property had been appraised at $251,250 — one-quarter of Guccione’s earlier offer. The letter also stated, in capital letters: “You may be required to move within 90 days after you receive this notice. If you remain in possession of the property after that time, CRDA may be able to have you and your belongings removed by the sheriff.” In July, the CRDA ordered that condemnation proceedings in New Jersey begin.
