Donald Trump
Let's face it: No sane person is ever going to ask Donald Trump for hair advice.
But when it comes to business, he still has some legitimacy.
In an interview with Bill Shea of Crain's Detroit Business, he praised Detroit as a place to invest and he had good things to say about Quicken Loans' Dan Gilbert. Trump is scheduled to speak at the upcoming GOP Lincoln Day Dinner in Oakland County.
He said:
I've been reading some good things, talking about making it a tech city. I've seen some very positive stories about Detroit. For many years they over-borrowed and overspent, like a lot of cities," he said. "I really think it's going to heal itself. They'll work out their debt and spending problems. I think Detroit has great potential.
"What Dan Gilbert did is fantastic. When he sees something like that, it's a good sign."
Shea also wrote that Trump said he sees Detroit as a potential investment opportunity.
"A lot of times when I go to a place, I end up investing in it. I didn't like it 10 years ago, but I like it now. A lot of times, you have to reach bottom before you can come back."
