Following the historic meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Trump couldn’t help but return to his real estate roots in a press conference and muse about building condos on North Korean beaches.
The real estate mogul turned POTUS took notice of the untapped opportunities North Korea could provide, perhaps inspired by his own urging for the country to open itself to foreign trade during the summit.
“North Korea has great beaches,” Trump told reporters at the press conference. “You see that whenever they’re exploding cannons into the ocean. I said, ‘Boy, look at that view. Wouldn’t that make a great condo?’” He added that he advised Kim to abandon his nuclear ambitions to instead build “the best hotels in the world” along the coastline to boost the economy.
