    On a positive note, making Venezuela a 51st state would mean DC and Puerto Rico would finally get a better shot.

    Simultaneously, it would tarnish the entire concept of statehood, introducing the specter of imperialism into it’s definition.

      Nope. It just means now trump has oil to sell, and the higher the price (say… matching European pricing) the more money he steals.

      Trump is a one trick pony - greed. Nothing he does is outside of that parameter.
