Is 52 a typo or did he really say that? The US has 50 states, so why not 51?

Is 52 a typo or did he really say that?
The US has 50 states, so why not 51?
- simiones 4mo agoMaybe his views are more heterodox and he was counting Puerto Rico as 51st! (sarcasm, in case this isn't clear)
- mcherm 4mo agoI suspect that the implication in context was that the 51st state would be Greenland. Which doesn't really help make this less of a diplomatic faux pas.
- bemao 4mo agoProbably a reference to the "joke" that Canada would soon become the 51st state
- csomar 4mo agoGreenland is the 51 state.
