Just a few hours earlier, the U.S. ambassador to Denmark tweeted that it was “ready for the POTUS @realDonaldTrump visit!” using an acronym for “President of the United States” along with Trump’s Twitter handle.

Trump wrote: “Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time.”

He added: “The Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the United States and Denmark by being so direct. I thank her for that and look forward to rescheduling sometime in the future!”

White House spokesman Judd Deere said later that the visit to Denmark has been canceled.

As long as it includes Dearborn!

From my experience, Dearborn is OK, not very dangerous. Half the population is Christian Arabs, half Muslim. So you truly have absolutely zero freedom of speech about Islam there, but the Muslims probably won't mug you. They'll just kill you if you say the wrong thing. (Of course Christians never kill anyone for anything they may say about Christianity, but that fact somehow goes unreported.)

It's the city of Detroit itself that is the disaster area.

Interesting tidbit about Dearborn:

In 2010, Nabeel Qureshi, David Wood, and two other people acting as Christian missionaries, were arrested at the Dearborn International Arab Festival. They had been handing out Christian literature aimed at Muslim believers. The four were prosecuted for breach of the peace. Police ordered them to stop filming the incident, to provide identification, and to move at least five blocks from the border of the fair.[55]

After reviewing the video evidence, the jury acquitted the defendants.[56] The four defendants filed a separate civil suit against the city. Dearborn was found to have violated their constitutional rights related to freedom of speech.

Hell, we should pay them to take Detroit.

It's the 'Art of the Deal'.

I think this is a fantastic idea. It's a few years late for Disney's tribute to Frozen but they could open a new park.

Ceffer says

Maybe he can play a poker match with Denmark. If Trump wins, he gets Greenland. If he loses, Denmark gets San Francisco, Portland and Detroit.

That is known as a WIN-WIN

Maybe we should sell the white house to Denmark??? Trump can stay in Greenland as an immigrant!!!

Why do you hate affordable housing?

Why do you hate affordable housing?

Lol, it's affordable because of the ridiculous crime rates. An Australian thought he could scoop up property cheap and make a profit renting it out.

Little problem with his business plan. He was killed trying to collect rent.

Greg McNicol, 45, a native of Australia, was killed in May 2011 outside the Detroit apartment building he owned. Authorities said McNichol was arguing with Freddie Young’s daughter about two months of unpaid rent.

In a recorded interview with police, Young said he didn’t realize he was holding the gun until the weapon suddenly went off.

A jury found him guilty of second degree murder.

One of Young’s attorneys, Jeffrey Edison, said his client will appeal the sentence.

“Well we argued that Mr. Young acted in self-defense and if the jury felt that way, he would be not-guilty of anything. They also had for their consideration — manslaughter,” said Edison. “They could have considered that, too.”

Young’s lottery club shared a $46 million jackpot in February 2011. Each member was to have received about $1.6 million through a cash payout.

A judge temporarily froze Young’s money after McNicol’s widow filed a wrongful death lawsuit. At the courthouse Wednesday, Kristy McNicol said she was pleased with the sentence.

“I think that’s the minimum that the whole family was expecting,” she said.

Can't be a slumlord w/o goons.

Assuming no death/violence , what is the problem w buying ghetto 3-flats and renting them for $500/each?

If you like this model, I've heard RV parks in FL that allow ex-felons are a huge money maker. Each felon rents a room in 2 br doublewide for $750/month, or rents the RV space for $800/month. I'd bet Saturday night is lit af

A portion of my previous employment involved working for a guy that was a slumlord on the South and West sides of Chicago. I mainly just ran credit reports and did tenant screening as my previous boss was an utter dip shit with screening people. This is also why I've also said privacy is dead. I could find dirt on even the cleanest of tenants once they filled out an application.

There's money to be made, but it's management heavy. Huge time suck. And there's always a fear of pissing off the wrong person like in Patrick's comment above. Unless you're getting above 25% returns in these areas, it's really not worth the headache. Even then, there is a legitimate fear of your life and family on a daily basis, not joking.

It always intrigues the newbie guys/gals that want to get into real estate investment in Chicago. It's usually the worst place to start unless you're a ruthless ass hole and have conceal carry. "Hey look, a $40k two flat. I could rent those units out for $900/mo and make bank." Oh shit, the tenants have to pay rent...... There will also be no signification appreciation on the South and West sides until they tear most the housing stock down and create better neighborhoods where people want to live (parks, restaurants, bars, businesses, etc).

It's no joke when they call parts of Chicago food deserts. There are still neighborhoods where it would take 15-20 minutes to get to the nearest legit grocery store by car and much longer by public transit. That's why these neighborhoods are clearing out and Chicago is losing population. It will sound racist, but it's better for them to get the fuck out and not in a 97% black community where all they do is eat their own.

Why do you hate diversity?

Trump is going to re-name it "BlondBushLand". "The only American vacation destination where you can be surrounded predominately by HonkeyFucks!"
