Don Jr. swamped by ridicule as he opposes statehood for Ohio: 'Don't do drugs' Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, drew a wave of online ridicule after complaining that Democrats want to make Ohio a state. Trump Jr. made the remark Monday while actually in the Buckeye State to campaign for Republican candidates. “They want to, what is it? Save democracy by destroying democracy,” Trump Jr. said of Democrats. “They wanna pack the Supreme Court. They wanna make Ohio a state, make D.C. a state, have permanent one-party rule.”

Does he think Puerto Rico is in Ohio?

It's possible making Ohio a state was a mistake, but a bit too late to question it now.

Eh. Hilarious, but obviously just a “mental typo”. Everyone makes them. I’m all for poking a little fun, but also giving people room to make mistakes like this without it being a huge deal. edit: Jesus, I didn’t realize I had to explain things. Obama said something about 53 states. Also a mental typo. These things happen. Waste your time on these, sure, but we all have limited energy. I’d rather spend my time usefully fighting fascism rather than wasting it on things like this that don’t actually matter. But y’know, you do you. All it does is distract you from the important things, but it’s your right to waste your time if you want. And sure, have a litle laugh about it. Whatever.
