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.

[-] Gobo@lemmy.world 79 points 4 days ago

Wait. So now Venezuelans are now citizens and cannot be deported?

[-] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 52 points 4 days ago

And also get to vote and have representation in the house and senate?

[-] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I would be perfectly happy if 42 million more communists joined the US.

Seriously though, can you imagine how much progressive legislation would get passed if the Venezuelan populace were allowed to vote in US elections?

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago

Well, they are already arresting and deporting US citizens, so...

Poor trump, I feel for the guy.

Born too late to play Napoleon, born too early to play a Mad Max warlord.

It's a tragedy really.

...fucking clown.

In the medieval or classical age he would have been served a poison chalice long ago

[-] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago

...born just in time to be on television.

Come on, now, if you really think his ideal is "warlord", you've been paying more attention to what conservatives fantasize than who he actually is. Trump is a theater kid. An Andrew Lloyd Webber stan. He has the soundtrack to Cats on hand at all times. His favorite part of the presidency is that he gets to be on TV whenever he so chooses.

Yawn.. Here we go again.

What's grampa dementia tryin' to deflect our attention from now?

[-] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 52 points 4 days ago

The same thing he distracts from every night, Pinky. The fact that he's in the Epstein files.

[-] foodandart@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 days ago

Well yeah.. that's obvious.. but he's gone "extra special" the last few days.. Inflation's biting the economy now, so mabe the news on that sent him completely off the rails? Seems like.

[-] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 33 points 4 days ago

How many 51st states does the US need?

[-] T156@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

As many as they need to get a 51st 51st state.

What a moron. He really is the worst president in American history

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 20 points 4 days ago
[-] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 4 days ago

The way he's going he will also be the last president in American history. Since he's obviously trying for a civil war.

Epstein files

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago

Can someone take this fucker out of office already?

I'm so tired of this shit.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 19 points 4 days ago

So he's cheating on Canada?

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.

[-] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago

Will ICE be use to deport people of Venezula out of the US?

[-] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

nobody believes this orange moron anymore

Only place on Earth that would cheer the arrival of a 7.25 USD minimum wage

[-] krigo666@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Orange turd.

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago
  1. That's more how that works
  2. Show USA the Epstein files.
[-] gdog05@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

Pretty sure granting statehood is not an executive privilege.

[-] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 9 points 4 days ago

So US minimum wage for Venezuela?

[-] reev@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Venezuelan minimum wage for the US.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

I guess he realized Canada wasn't gonna let it happen so he switched to a smaller target to bully.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 6 points 3 days ago

Sounds like he wants to sell his oil stocks

[-] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Well, that's one way to lose a Republican senate majority

[-] Geobloke@aussie.zone 7 points 4 days ago

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

[-] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

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.

They were miserable. Now they’re happy.

The nuance. The depth.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 9 points 4 days ago

Didn't this guy want to make English the official language of America?

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.
