Donald Trump Suggests US Could Join British Commonwealth

[NYC Liberal]

Source: Newsweek

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.

1. Does this mean we'll have a real Queen, not named Melanoma?

[Blue_playwright]

64. I'm not sure which is worse, Camilla or Melania?

[TomSlick]

65. Too close to call.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Only a shit-brain idiot would shit on Commonwealth w tariffs incl. UK, Canada, Australia... and then ask for favours. nt

[groundloop]

3. Why does Newsweek waste their time on the ramblings of an idiot?

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

46. Remember decades back when they were actually a good news magazine?

My parents had a Newsweek subscription back in the 1970’s.

[wcmagumba]

48. Newsweek was one of our go to sources for my high school extemporaneous speaking contests in the mid 70s...

Time and US News and World Report (even at that time we kids called it Useless New and World Distort)...

[nilram]

58. I always kick myself after clicking on one of their articles.

They've got quite a lot of dreck.

[LudwigPastorius]

4. When was the exact moment that reality ceased to exist?

...because this is just so insane...that is the only possible explanation.

[John1956PA]

9. It is now Bizarro World which has hypothesized in a comic book in 1961. n/t

[Initech]

13. Also Seinfeld!

[Initech]

12. 11/5/24 11:59 PM EDT

That was the day America died and reality ceased to exist. Everything else is just part of the clown show now.

[Swede]

60. We are in the weasel time line.

[raccoon]

75. I think a bunch of shitweasels are responsible for this nightmare we're living in.

[Irish_Dem]

5. A ploy by the UK to keep your enemies closer?

[steelyboo]

6. So now this motherfucker wants to toss out the results of the American Revolution? JFC

[Easterncedar]

16. Not entirely a bad idea

Canada seems mostly better than we are now in a lot of ways. Pea meal bacon, for one.

[LudwigPastorius]

25. Two possible reasons:

A) He thinks that "Commonwealth" means he gets money from the UK if we join.

Or B) He thinks that if the U.S. becomes a member, he's got a shot at becoming the King some day.

[odins folly]

40. #2

Seems the most likely reason.

Although, dumb fuck that he is, "common wealth" may be what his syphalitic mind hears and he thinks HE will get a cut of the Kings ransom.

Or both...

[flamingdem]

36. LOL!!

Good one

[Botany]

76. Isn't our nation's Capitol City named after the man who led the revolution?

[maxsolomon]

7. SQUIRREL!

Let's all ask "how high" when President Narcissistic Troll says jump.

Fuck this spectacle. The dumbest spectacle ever.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. So we fought that Revolution for nothing?

[Justice matters.]

42. Actually, since he self-proclaimed being the king of the USA on Lie Social..

... with a ugly picture of himself wearing a gold-color crown on top of his hair furhair... so yes, it was all for nothing now.

And ruling by fiat with crazy, destructive executive orders and taking the side of cruelly decaying Russia over NATO allies... because effin Vladimir Putin tells "good things about him" to him over the phone...

What more proof is needed to conclude the Revolution was for nothing?

[Aristus]

10. Any of you "AMERICA!!! FUCK YEAH!!!" Trumpsters out there want to take this?

He's talking about submitting to the British Crown. Which, if you had stayed awake in school, you would have known that declaring independence from the British Crown is why the United States even exists.

Come on, let's hear it, all you "patriots"...

[Paladin]

21. Imagine the reaction if Kamala Harris were exploring such a "secret offer."

Never mind trump and his stormtrooper followers---just think of the outrage of the rightwing-pimp opinion scribblers at the NY Times...

[Initech]

11. Fucking what???

I admit I did not have "Make America British Again" on my 2025 MAGA Bingo card. WTF!!!!

[Qutzupalotl]

14. On the bright side, that might dissuade Trump from invading Canada.

But you know how this happened. Trump doesn't know what a commonwealth is, but it sounds to him as though England wants to share its money with us. Add a little flattery, and he's on board.

[steelyboo]

19. This is Trump we are talking about. I'll bet a hi-diddilly-doh against a damned-if-I-know he is thinking

"I'll usurp Chuck and be a REAL king!" . . . Ok, I am being over the top, no way that dumb fuck knows what "usurp' means.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

30. He knows "usurp". Here's a post of his today! Plus his cult called Obama "the usurper" for years.

New York Post

Trump accuses federal judge of trying to 'usurp' his presidential power ...
Today"Judge James Boasberg is doing everything in his power to usurp the Power of the Presidency," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. 3.

[Blue_playwright]

63. Ok, I'm a big Anglophile even though I'm no fan of Chuck Rex

And there is no way he would step on parliment's toes to offer someone who is literally destroying another democracy a membership in the Commonwealth. Trump has zero clue what the Commonwealth is, how as the Empire slowed and countries left it, Queen Elizabeth II pulled together a Commonwealth of nations. He wouldn't understand why any countries would band together for the good of each other. He's a moron.

Catch is, King Charles doesn't get involved (usually unless it involves green initiatives or preserving history) in politics. And Trump has such a poor reputation in the UK and the Commonwealth - there's no way he'd risk it. It's bad enough that his brother is also an Epstein pedo, leaping on his legacy.

Anyway, I'm sorry for the little rant. But, it makes me so extra furious when that orange POS acts like the Queen knighted him "in secret" and like he's besties with Charles. Charles has a lot of flaws but he's an intellectual and academic. I'm sure he hates the bloviator.

[hlthe2b]

15. Only if we can divorce ourselves from you and your MAGAT ilk... I would gladly consider it then...

[DFW]

17. Next thing you know

Trump will try to get Nambia to sponsor U.S. membership in the OAU. Mimi néjué Kiswahili kidogo!

He'll get Stefanik to seek out the Nambian delegation to the UN first thing next week!

[dweller]

18. So he's renovating

The offal office already ?
Taking down the Declaration of Independence?






✌🏻

[Deep State Witch]

20. Charles Won't Let Him Be King

There's only room for one king in the Commonwealth, and it's not the Orange Turd.

[mackdaddy]

57. I hear they would have a nice room for him in the Tower of London.

Maybe they would even change the name for him...

[ms liberty]

22. Okay. Then Charles can put him in gaol. Maybe with a nice set of those wall manacles

[Andy Canuck]

23. Didn't you Yanks

fight a war about this already? I remember hearing it was an important fight.

[Aristus]

38. You think a chuzzlewit like Trump knows that?

He's probably foggy on what he had for breakfast by the time dinner rolls around. And for him, yesterday is ancient history.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

47. Two of them, actually!

[Andy Canuck]

68. Oh ya,

and the second one Britain (Canada) set the White House on fire.

On behalf of Canada, we're sorry about that.

[electric_blue68]

80. And on behalf of X%+ of us US'rs; we Apologize for drumphf

Even though the bastard won...since?30% didn't vote, and yet according various polls almost 70%, sometimes more hate drumphf's policies....
How do we calculate the disaprovalment of him?!

[orangecrush]

24. ...

[LetMyPeopleVote]

26. trump would not accept being second to anyone.

trump wants to be king and will not accept anyone else with that title

[Justice matters.]

45. Next thing we'll know, that felon will want to "annex" the UK...

Total Dementia Syndrome.

[tanyev]

27. Cool, the entire history of the U.S. like the 9th season of Dallas--all just a dream.

[sinkingfeeling]

53. LOL!!

[rzemanfl]

28. This psyop is becoming absurd. n/t

[AZLD4Candidate]

29. And we are going to ignore lexington and concord, 1776, and the Sons of Liberty?

WTF is wrong with this country?

[IronLionZion]

31. As if he knows what that means

dude has dementia

[CentralMass]

32. He is insane.

[enid602]

33. Britain

Looks like the Brits would do anything to be in a trade group again. They shouldn’t have gotten rid of the perfectly good one they had. Trump should take note.

[Turbineguy]

34. OK, but what about the next 30 seconds?

[global1]

35. I'll Believe This When We Start Driving On The Other Side Of The Street.....nt

[flamingdem]

37. I hope we can be part of the British Commonwealth

Sounds better than where we're heading. Tally Ho!

[Biophilic]

39. Who wants to tell him that the king doesn't get to make those kinds of decisions anymore.

[PatrickforB]

41. We'd have a real universal healthcare system then! n/t

[harun]

43. My first thoughts as well. Would we get healthcare coverage?

[AwakeAtLast]

67. And Cheato would take credit

Of course!

[Ray Bruns]

44. Didn't we fight a war so we wouldn't be part of the British Commonwealth?

[GreenWave]

51. That was in the honest cosmos where Trump lost and was jailed.

[DavidDvorkin]

66. The Commonwealth didn't exist then

It began as an organiation in the mind-20th century. It can also be seen as beginning, in effect if not formally, when Canada became a dominion in 1867.

[DavidDvorkin]

49. Was he responding to a satirical essay?

[mwooldri]

50. The United States doesn't qualify.

From https://thecommonwealth.org/about/joining ...

an applicant country must demonstrate commitment to: democracy and democratic processes, including free and fair elections and representative legislatures; the rule of law and independence of the judiciary; good governance, including a well-trained public service and transparent public accounts; and protection of human rights, freedom of expression, and equality of opportunity

So given the present Trump "Administration", does the US qualify to join the Commonwealth of Nations?

[Diamond_Dog]

52. WHEN will everyone realize

This idiot is BONKERS! CRACKERS! INSANE!

[Srkdqltr]

54. Geezzzzz guys. You all know Charles is only a figurehead. He has no actual say.

He is the mascot. This is beyond stupid.

[SSJVegeta]

55. Maybe he thinks they'll let him be king

[Martin68]

56. The man is stark raving mad.

[jmowreader]

59. Someone seriously needs to find Trump's crack dealer and throw him in jail

Last I checked the United States fought two wars to NOT be in the British Commonwealth!

But can you imagine if we were? The first damn thing the King would do after taking over the US is set up a British-style National Health System here in America, and Trump would lose his fucking mind.

[ramapo]

61. Insane ravings

I believe such an offer is outside of King Charles’ job description.

[travelingthrulife]

71. I can't even fathom what some of these secret phone calls he makes to

world leaders must be like. What kind of monstrous ideas does he spew?

[malthaussen]

62. They'd never have us. n/t

[snot]

69. Some would argue they already do have us

.

[SorellaLaBefana]

70. "NewsWeak"

Yep, a lame and unoriginal paronomasia—

—tho true

[Rebl2]

72. I seriously

doubt there is some sort of secret offer.

[malaise]

73. Word is he accepted

That means no invasion or annexation of Canada. Did anyone tell,him?

[Renew Deal]

77. They didn't stop them from fighting each other for the last 1000 years.

[malaise]

78. Tell me about it

The rule apparently never applied to the Brits

[alarimer]

74. Trump would never take a backseat to an actual king.

He thinks he IS the king. He would like to install himself as monarch of the whole thing.

[LiberalArkie]

79. I do not think he realizes that means that the U.S. would have to adhere to British Commonwealth standards. Like metric,

education, HEALTH & WELFARE, etc

[iemanja]

81. Does he know that would make him subject to the King?

That would throw a wrench into his plans to be a dictator.
