Fox News host Sean Hannity that President Donald Trump should forget Canada and make Venezuela America's 51st state, according to The Daily Beast.
This suggestion comes after the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, dedicated it to Trump and “the suffering people of Venezuela." Trump and his supporters relentlessly campaigned for him to win the prize.
“I dedicated this award to the Venezuelan people and President Trump because I believe that’s absolutely fair,” Machado, a Trump supporter, said. “We, the Venezuelan people, are absolutely grateful to President Trump for the way he has supported democracy and freedom in the Americas.”
“This opposition leader in Venezuela that won the Nobel Prize, and said it really deserved to go to Donald Trump, sounds like a pretty good leader to me for the people of Venezuela, and the end of narcoterrorism, and a better relationship with the U.S.,” Hannity said to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). “Or, if they choose, maybe the 51st state.”
“Sounds good to me!” Graham exclaimed.
While Trump may not 'get' Venezeula as the 51st state, he does think he still has a shot at the Nobel Peace Prize.
"So the person who actually got the Nobel prize called today, called me and said, I’m accepting this in honor of you because you really deserved it,” he said at a press conference. “I didn’t say, ‘Then give it to me,’ though. I could have. I think she might have.”
