All those “illegal alien”, “drug smugglers” now gonna be legal non-white citizens … Hahaha!
According to the Constitution, Trump cannot legally declare Venezuela the 51st state without congressional approval or Venezuela’s consent.
There’s that pesky concept again that Trump doesn’t seem to understand, or have, or know about.
“Trump cannot” (and “GOP cannot”) is the down-beat in the song of life. It doesn’t seem to matter what the law says for right-wingers when they’re in power. They will do what they please in the absence of adequate resistance.
Edit: in this case, though, I doubt it’s more than another distraction from the Epstein files
It’s ok. Congress doesn’t know about it either so he’s clear.
Or care. Also he’ll do it anyway and nothing will happen. We knew he raped kids in 2016.
The US will never live down this level of stupidity and callousness.
I feel like it’s pretty much our brand? Has been for a while?
Before people trusted us to honor important parts of our commitments. Now people expect the worst from us in nearly everything. We lit an assload of soft power on fire and it will likely contribute to our “downfall” from global hegemon to competing great power. Silver lining is that a lot of the wealth we’ve skimmed off the top of the global economy for decades will now start going back to our allies and industrially underdeveloped parts of the world held hostage by our dominant military and economic position.
Only people who weren’t in agreements with you previously thought that.
Some sure, but not everyone. It took a hit during the Bush years, but the Trump administration has eradicated anyone except lunatic conservatives trying to betray their own country for a taste of power.
The difference is that people are questioning whether they should keep trading in dollars. This is new.
That is a great outcome though. Hopefully the US is so weakened by Trump that the world can know some peace from Americas evilness.
Sadly, no. It does seem like that though.
Senile President said a thing
To distract from Epstein files.
Is that the collection of documents that proves that the sitting president raped children? I’ve been looking forward to that one! The publisher says it’s already out, but all I can find is samples online. Someone needs to tell him that if you release it as a book, it will be the #1 best seller for years to come.
Senile old man yells at clouds again…
I’ve been saying it for years. We can solve the problem of illegal immigration in one fell swoop!
I bet they would send ice to deport the Venezuelans.
The dream of Curtis Yarvin is alive in Venezuela
That’s what happens if you don’t follow his demands, Canada. Now you got replaced by Venezuela. I am sure this will hurt you.
I’m surprised. Hispanics generally vote Democratic. If Venezuela becomes a state, it will have 2 Senators and many House of Representatives members.
In the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump received 46% of the Latino vote, marking the highest percentage for a Republican candidate in U.S. history.
As you can see, it’s also working out great for the Latino voters.
Propaganda works.
Yet there is no question that over the past three election cycles, Latino voters – Latino men under 40, in particular – have shifted right. That change has benefited GOP candidates, even as the majority of Latinos still voted for Democrats.
However, evidence from general elections in 2025 in places such as New Jersey, New York and Virginia, as well as special elections in 2026, suggest an abrupt correction is underway, with some of the Latino voters who backed Trump now swinging back to the Democrats.
IF true, it’d be temporary.
Would the GOP take the chance? I’m fine with Venezuela becoming the 51st state of that is what Venezuelans want.

Lol, what? Hispanics are highly conservative. Right wing propaganda has been overwhelming on Spanish social media for decades; it makes Fox News look like MSNBC. Latin American culture is absolutely SEEPED with conservative Christianity, with a deep rooted hatred of LGBT and anything that even vaguely reminds them of the word “socialism”.
Catholic colonialism’s a bitch.

You assume by state he means state and not territory. Because let’s be honest, they wouldn’t get any representation at the federal level.
Look at the title of the post. It says Trump is ‘considering’ Venezuela as 51st state.
You give him too much credit to understand what statehood means when compared to making it a territory.
He is also only considering it to keep the news focused away from the Epstine files, and everything else he is actually doing.
THey’d get the same representation as Puerto Rico.
The population of Venezuela is around 28.6 million. The population of Puerto Rico is around 3.2 million. Venezuela would get more House members.
[Puerto Rico’s representatives are non-voting and have very limited impact on legislation.]https://congress.net/how-congressional-representation-work-for-u-s-territories/) They could have 100 Congressmen and still have zero votes.
That’s because Puerto Rico is not a state. According to the title of this post, Trump is ‘considering’ Venezuela as 51st state.
Yes, and Trump is always straightforward and honest.
AND IF AN ARTIST FROM THERE SINGS AT THE SUPERBOWL WE WILL PLUG OUR EARS AND GO NANANANANANANA I CANT HEAR YOU
I never had any interest in visiting the US, now I have actual reasons to never go. Thanks big orange baboon!
