I think that he must think that Venezuela and Cuba are easy pickings for him, plus Venezuela has oil and Cuba has beachfront property.

Well, as long as it is not Puerto Rico. He has his druthers (Greenland) but he'll take what he can get - as long as they are currently/or will be in the future - beholding to him in some way (willing to pay fealty and cash).

There goes the Hispanic vote, Donnie! They will not want you or what you are selling.

Good luck with wanting Venezuela and its oil, while the people get fucked over.

does this mean Canada is relegated to 52nd state status?

Or maybe even behind Greenland and Cuba.
