Stephen Colbert<\/a>\u2019s \u201cLate Show\u201d put a brutal new twist on a classic American song Wednesday to congratulate Venezuela on its victory in the World Baseball Classic and mock President Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> response to it. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cSTATEHOOD!!! President DJT,\u201d Trump wrote on social media just seconds after the final out. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cTake me out to Caracas, baseball is our sport now, you may have taken our president, in return we\u2019ve taken <\/span>Se\u00f1or Met,\u201d the song lyrics say, referencing <\/span>the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President <\/span>Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and talking about New York Mets mascot Mr. Met. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The parody went on to reference that Venezuela likely does not want to become the 51st state, <\/span>the president\u2019s potentially deteriorating mental state, and Trump\u2019s numerous pictures alongside convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump made similar references to Venezuela becoming the 51st state after the team\u2019s victory over Italy in the semifinals on Monday. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWow! Venezuela defeated Italy tonight, 4-2, in the WBC (Baseball!) Semifinal. They are looking really great. Good things are happening to Venezuela lately! I wonder what this magic is all about? STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE? President DONALD J. TRUMP,\u201d Trump wrote on social media. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Venezuela defeated the United States 3-2 in Tuesday night\u2019s WBC final. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
