He usually shields himself against such things by working through a LLC or other legal shield. The force majeure defense is weak especially due to his recient statements. One could make the case that Trump, as a developer, is partially responsible for the meltdown in housing prices and would make his reasons (housing market meltdown) for enacting this clause invalid. Normally this type of clause is used to deal with war, a major flood, or a strike. Plus it is great to see this pompous ass get thrown out of his own project.
