Trump says Washington, DC, will never be a state -- because of all the Democrats

[RandySF]

WASHINGTON — President Trump says Washington, DC, won’t ever be a state because Republicans aren’t “stupid” enough to add guaranteed Democratic seats in Congress.

“DC will never be a state,” Trump told The Post on Monday during an exclusive interview in the Oval Office. “You mean District of Columbia, a state? Why? So we can have two more Democratic — Democrat senators and five more congressmen? No thank you. That’ll never happen.”

The capital city is home to roughly 700,000 people — more people than Vermont and Wyoming, and nearly as many as Alaska.

DC license plates carry the slogan “Taxation Without Representation” in protest of the lack of seats in Congress. Residents have a non-voting delegate in the House and no senators. If it were a state, DC would have one House member and two senators.

in some reference with the Democrats losing or something dealing with the election.It just makes me fear the votes has already been stolen from us.I wish China would at the second the last vote is counted, that they double up for Biden so Trump and his cronies will be out of power.If we get both chambers and not the W.H.He is still a goner and than we get rid of Pence.
