President Trump on Tuesday touted North Korea's untapped property market potential, and said one benefit North Korea would see if it opens up its economy could be placing the "best hotel in the world" on its coastline. 
 
 "They have great beaches. You see that whenever they're exploding their cannons into the ocean," Trump said during a marathon press conference held after the conclusion of his historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore. 
 
 "I said, 'Boy, look at that view. Wouldn't that make a great condo? Instead of doing that you could have the best hotels in the world right there. Think of it from a real estate perspective, you have South Korea, you have China, and they own the land in the middle, how bad is that, right? It's great," Trump said. 
 
 The U.S. delegation, using economic development as an incentive for their North Korea counterparts to enter denuclearization talks, showed Kim a video simulation of possible projects that could take place in the rogue nation.

 Despite telling Kim he could "do a smaller version" of the proposal, Trump expressed optimism that the North Korean head of state was interested in the ideas presented to him. 
 
 "Although I tell you what, he looked at that tape, he looked at that iPad, and I'm telling you they really enjoyed it I believe," Trump added. 
 
 In the wide-ranging solo press conference given after Kim had already left the Singapore, Trump announced North Korea had agreed to relinquish its nuclear weapons and was prepared to rewrite history to push for a lasting peace and complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

 Trump is expected to leave Singapore at 7 p.m. local time. ||||| SINGAPORE — Just a couple of guys talking cars — while the world watches. 
 
 President Donald Trump offered North Korea leader Kim Jong Un a rare glimpse inside the presidential limousine known as "The Beast" on Tuesday as their historic summit in Singapore wound down. 
 
 After meetings and a working lunch, Trump and Kim were spotted approaching Trump's hulking black limousine, adorned with an American flag. Trump gestured to the car and then a Secret Service agent opened the right passenger door. 
 
 Kim could be seen smiling as the two stood chatting and Kim peeked inside. 
 
 While there was initially some confusion about what the leaders were doing, it quickly became clear that Trump was making a classic alpha male move: showing Kim his ride. 
 
 Trump had said before leaving for the summit that he would be able to tell within minutes whether he'd be able to strike a deal with Kim to dismantle the North's nuclear program. ||||| “And I explained, I said, ‘You know, instead of doing that, you could have the best hotels in the world right there.’ Think of it from a real estate perspective.” 
 
 Mark McKinnon, a seasoned political ad maker who ran media for President George W. Bush’s campaigns, said the video was “obviously quite shlocky” for a broader audience, but could be effective in influencing its intended target. 
 
 “At bottom, it’s very good storytelling — something obviously Trump understands,” Mr. McKinnon said. Citing the former governor of Texas ousted by Mr. Bush, he added: “Ann Richards used to say, ‘Dumb it down so my mama can understand it.’ Or you know, so a foreign dictator can. Over all, a pretty creative and clever move.” 
 
 But veteran diplomats and foreign policy scholars were warier. “I was speechless when I first saw it,” said Alexander R. Vershbow, who served as ambassador to South Korea under Mr. Bush. “Pure Trump with Hollywood production values, showing what Kim Jong-un and North Korea would be like if they make the fateful choice to trade in their nukes for economic prosperity.” 
 
 Sung-Yoon Lee, a Korean studies professor at Tufts University’s Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, was even less impressed, calling it “eerily reminiscent of second-rate South Korean government promotional videos.” In fact, although the White House said it was made by the National Security Council, he said he instinctively suspected the South Koreans might have created it and gave it to Mr. Trump. 
 
 “Will it have any impact?” he asked. “Most likely, this patronizing act will give Kim a good laugh. It may also irritate and, paradoxically, reassure him at the same time — in the knowledge that his two adversaries are utterly clueless.” 
 
 Jeffrey Lewis, the director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, said he thought it would fall flat. “I was gobsmacked by it,” he said. “It seems unlikely that a man who ruthlessly ordered the murder of his half brother with a nerve agent is likely to be beguiled by a film trailer and decide to abandon the nuclear-armed missiles that are a centerpiece of his propaganda.”
– You can temporarily take Donald Trump out of real estate, but you can't take the real estate out of Donald Trump. That much was clear at a Singapore press conference Tuesday, which took place after the president's meeting with Kim Jong Un and in which he touched upon the potential of North Korea's coastline. "They have great beaches," Trump noted, per the Washington Examiner. "You see that whenever they're exploding their cannons into the ocean." And that spectacular view got him to thinking: "Wouldn't that make a great condo? Instead of doing that you could have the best hotels in the world right there. Think of it from a real estate perspective, you have South Korea, you have China, and they own the land in the middle, how bad is that, right? It's great." The AP also reports on another post-summit activity, which it deems a "classic alpha male move": Trump showing off "The Beast," the presidential limousine, to the North Korean leader. CNN shows a video clip of the two men approaching the limo, a Secret Service agent opening the door, and Kim peering in to take a look. "We know that these men were trying to find ways to bond, in just like a personal, human way, and what's more natural for guys [than] to want to check out one another's car," Chris Cuomo notes.
