“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.

"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.

“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”

“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.

“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”

    “We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C."

    Can’t disenfranchise us, we’re already disenfranchised. Give us 2 senators and a representative, then you’ll have something to take away.

      Let’s get Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands proper representation as well.

        Fun fact: every battleship built by the United States has been named after a state except one, USS Kearsarge, which was named that in honor of the Kearsarge which sank the Confederate raider Alabama during the Civil War (the US Navy since then has always had a ship in commission with that name, as presumably a giant fuck you to the South). In order to restore the beautiful consistency of having every battleship named after a state, I think we should allow any of the territories you listed above to become the 51st state - so long as they change their name to “Kearsarge” first.

        Samoa sounds really nice, especially when everything else collapses.

        We already ruined Chagos. Not many other places to escape.

      Can’t make DC a state for the same reason we can’t make Puerto Rico a state

      It makes perfect sense to do so, but would negatively impact the electoral college in favor of people who aren’t Neo Nazis
