Donald Trump is joking about making a new 51st state. The president took to Truth Social Monday night to celebrate—and take credit for—Venezuela’s victory in the semifinal round of the World Baseball Classic. “Wow! Venezuela defeated Italy tonight, 4-2, in the WBC (Baseball!) Semifinal. They are looking really great. Good things are happening to Venezuela lately! I wonder what this magic is all about? STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?” he wrote. It was a particularly dark joke from the leader who abducted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January. Afterward, Trump claimed that the United States would “run the country now,” and would likely keep its hands in Venezuela for years. While the new regime Trump has installed looks a lot like the old one—it’s run by Maduro’s former vice president Delcy Rodríguez—it’s friendlier to U.S. oil interests. Now, Trump’s trying a similar gambit in Iran—but with much more disastrous results. Trump has previously warned that Cuba could be next for annexation. Trump continually made gestures last year at annexing both Canada and Greenland, but thankfully hasn’t launched an all-out coup.
