Hello Everybody,
It has been a while since the USA grew.
Alaska and Hawaii came into the Union as the 49th
and 50th states. Gosh. So long ago.
Think about it.
Donald Trump was born in 1946, when the USA had 48 states.
Barack Obama was born in 1964, when the USA had 50 states.
The only president born in the USA with 50 states.
Now think about what this all means.
Only one president has left office with fewer states than
when he became president. That was Abraham Lincoln. Really
not his fault, as he died a bit prematurely due to the
actions of an actor gone mad.
Every other president has died with more states in the USA
than when he was born.
Donald Trump is age 74. There were 48 states in the USA
at the time of his birth. There are now 50 states in the USA,
so he is probably safe.
Unless the Blue States decide to apply for membership in the EU.
In which case the USA will have much fewer than 48 states.
OTOH, Joe Biden, who is age 78, could win. And we all know
what he will do. Just imagine an America that now has 50 states
adds on a few more. Such as DC. Puerto Rico. The US Virgin Islands.
Guam. Northern Mariana Islands. American Samoa. Maybe open up a
few more places nobody else has thought of.
Instead of a Red America with an Orange Face, we could have
a Blue America with a Sunshiny Face. Leading us all out of this
season of darkness into a new season of light.
