Donald Trump US Could Join British Commonwealth

[Anonymous]

President Donald Trump suggested that the United States could join the British Commonwealth on Friday in a post to Truth Social, his social media platform.

The president shared an article from British tabloid The Sun reporting that King Charles III was making a "secret offer" to the White House, and that plans are in process for the U.S. to become an associate member of the international organization.

"I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!" Trump wrote in response to the report

very very hard to believe Charles would want to partner with Trump. Seems Trump is having delusions.

If they are willing to take on our national debt, it could be a good deal.

This is Trump’s plan to take over as King of the British empire.

Pretty sure it wouldn’t be up to Charles.

I don’t think US would qualify to be a member based on Trump’s actions

The SUN?

Oh hang on here. If the US became part of the Commonwealth, couldn't he then claim that Canada is part of the US, as members of the Commonwealth?

Joining the British Commonwealth would have no effect on travel or economic policy, etc. Trump does like the monarchy so it could be a win for him. It’s largely symbolic.

But if the U.S. becomes a Commonwealth Realm like Canada, then we would have to swear allegiance to the king and sing “God Save the King” in place of “My Country Tis of Thee”.

That is not true. There are commenwealth countries that do not have the king as their head of state. Even if they do, like Canada, they have their own flag and national anthem.

Being a member of the Commonwealth does not make citizens UK subjects. Canadians are not UK citizens.
