Mango Mussolini wants Venezuela as 51st State

[angrychair]

According to Fox News reporter John Roberts, the 79-year-old president is interested in turning the South American country of Venezuela into the 51st U.S. state. “Just got off the phone with @realDonaldTrump ... he told me he is seriously considering a move to make Venezuela the 51st state…” Roberts claimed in a post on X on Monday, May 11.

According to other stories I have read is he wants control over their oil.

When is it going to be enough. This is pure insanity and I'm just fucking tired of it. Every damn day is something more insane than the next

Everything is on the table BUT the fucking Epstein Files.

1. Another brilliantly boneheaded idea from bonespurs

It isn't happening, so I'm not even going to get worked up over it.

2. That would mean all of the rapists and killers

He is so desperate to deport could freely move here en masse. I bet the base would love that! He’s just distracting again.

3. And also

This country is never gaining another state. Each party would weigh whether it hurts or helps them and then proceed to block the effort in Congress. It it hasn’t happened for Puerto Rico, it’s not happening anywhere. It’s more likely our country falls apart.

[Justice matters.]

6. The sick-minded pedophelon doesn't care about Congress.

And his lackeys in the Republicrooks party don't care about him destroying the rule of law, both nationally and internationally.

4. Overnight we welcome over 28 million latino-americans as US citizens?

Will ICE approve?

[Justice matters.]

7. miller will order them to deport them all.

Except the oil-fields low-paid workers.

5. LOL - Sounds like he's just throwing darts at a map.

9. Or shit at a wall...nt

10. That works too!

8. This would have to be voted on

I don't see the House or Senate voting for it. Just more hot air from the orange one.

11. I want to be taller and about 25 years younger.

Pretty sure I’ve got a better shot than he does.

[B.See]

12. Venezuela, Canada, Greenland, Cuba

but certainly not Puerto Rico, eh?

[themaguffin]

13. He loves distractions and things that would be attached to his "legacy"

[canetoad]

14. Canada must be breathing

A collective sigh of relief.

15. MaddowBlog-Trump adds yet another foreign country to his list of possible new U.S. states

The point isn’t that Venezuela is poised to become a state. Rather, this is about the president changing the nature of a broader debate.

Earlier this year, on the first anniversary of his second inaugural, Donald Trump posted an item to his social media platform that raised eyebrows here and abroad. It showed the Republican president in the Oval Office alongside a large image showing much of the Western Hemisphere, including the entirety of Canada and Greenland covered in American flags, as if they were part of the United States.

But those who looked closely might have noticed that there was another country, farther down in the image, that was also covered in the red, white and blue: Venezuela, which Trump had bombed two weeks earlier.

.....This week, he made clear that the idea remains on his mind. USA Today reported:

More than five months after the United States captured now-former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, President Donald Trump has again suggested that his administration would try to annex the oil-rich country.

The president told Fox News correspondent John Roberts on Monday, May 11, that he was now “seriously considering a move to make Venezuela the 51st state.”

His serious considerations notwithstanding, there’s no reason whatsoever to think this is likely to happen. Indeed, Delcy Rodríguez, the acting leader of Venezuela, wasted little time in pushing back against Trump’s reported comments, telling reporters that Venezuela would “never” consider the idea of statehood because the country loves its independence and would continue to defend it.....

Since getting elected to a second term, Trump has repeatedly talked about trying to make Canada the 51st state. There was related talk about making Greenland a state, too. Now, evidently, the incumbent American president has related ambitions about Venezuela.

Those who hear such talk and shrug it off as nonsense are right to be skeptical, but I’m struck by the fact that in GOP circles, it’s not uncommon to hear Republicans condemn Democratic talk about making the District of Columbia and/or Puerto Rico states. Indeed, just last week, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin mentioned this during an on-air interview as if it were part of his own personal nightmare.

And that’s precisely why I’m interested in Trump’s incessant talk about adding to the United States: The more the president focuses on this, the more this becomes less of a debate about whether to add new states and more about which states to add.
