Trump Says He's 'Seriously Considering' Adding a 51st State

President Donald Trump reportedly said on Monday that he is “seriously considering” moving to add Venezuela as a 51st U.S. state.

Fox News host John Roberts posted the news on social media.

Fox News correspondentBill Meluginelaborated, writing on X, “President Trump tells @FoxNews colleague @johnrobertsFox in a phone call just now that he is ‘seriously considering making Venezuela the 51st US state’, adding that there is $40 trillion in oil there and ‘Venezuela loves Trump.’”

Many suggested on social media that Trump is probably trolling to get his political rivals on the left talking about the prospect.

Hahaha he does this every time. He throws something out there that’s so wild and gets exactly what he wants.
