Trump claimed he gave North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un real estate advice and encouraged him to build "the most beautiful condos" on North Korea's shore.

I went over there, you remember that? It was a very historic moment. Went over there and I said to Kim Jong-Un, you know being a real estate guy it’s just sort of natural, I said, “You have the most beautiful shoreline. Think of it, you’re between China, Russia, and South Korea. Look at the beautiful shore, you could have the most beautiful condos that you’ve ever seen and become rich as hell. You don’t have to live like you’re living.

…

But he’s a tough guy, he’s a smart guy, and he just loves collecting nuclear weapons. That’s what he does. He collects nuclear weapons and we got along incredibly well.

If anyone can explain what the fuck he’s talking about, they’re smarter than me. Or maybe stupider?

    The question is: how did all of this change? People reminisce about when it was like $700 and you could easily finance that with an average summer job. When and why did it take such an insane turn?

      When government subsidies allowed greedy universities to jack up their tuition. If we wanted accessibility we would have been first to actually subsidize it through taxation instead of whatever the fuck is going on right now. Like idk who thought “I can borrow it all now and pay it back with interest later? Lets make this the norm”.
