The conservative editorial board of The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday responded to President Donald Trump’s latest rhetoric about turning Venezuela into the 51st U.S. state with a pointed question.
“Move over Greenland and Canada,” the board wrote, referring to Trump’s previous musings on the U.S. somehow taking over both the semiautonomous Danish territory and America’s northern neighbor.
It then asked:
“President Trump told Fox News Monday that he is ‘seriously considering’ making Venezuela the 51st state. Hmmm. Does that mean Venezuela would have to hold an election, like America’s current 50 states?”
