    Donald Trump doesn’t “seriously consider” anything at all. He just says and does whatever the fuck pops into his addled brain at any given moment.

    I have to hand it to his handlers, this is a very lateral thinking move for dealing with the perceived problem of immigration. 800k fewer immigrants in the USA with the stroke of a pen. Genius.

    And I‘m seriously considering making the US my personal vassal state.

    See, that’s about as reliable as the stuff this orange turdball spouts all day

    Well no. I mean can you imagine how much the republicans would hate that as a state? They would never get a vote there. It would also embarrass the fuck out of the Texas secessionist movement

      Making Venezuela a state means they could travel freely throughout the US, without restrictions. Tens of millions of them. It’s the dumbest thing this guy has said in a while really (maybe,) because as you say, his base would reject that strongly based on the mass migration.

        I mean it could be argued venezuela is a US colony right now. I know the current court would not see it that way but realistically if the US says Venezuela and its president is subject to US laws that puts them in same position as guam or puerto rico.

        I think there’s a good argument that since the beginning of this year Venezuelans are constitutionally US citizens.

      I swear that his time with Venezuela didn’t mean anything. It was just real quick, in and out. It was just his first land grab. Ya know to get it out of the way.

      The next one will be better. He’ll take his time, light candles, and make it nice.

      It wouldn’t be ‘their’ economy then would it?
      How about americans stop sanctioning them (and other countries) and stop stealing their resources,

      It’s already far too late. Even if it happens tomorrow it wasn’t early enough.
