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.
The idea to join the Commonwealth was first floated during that 2017-2021 term.
This is for real. Now Brexit makes sense.

Ah yes, the classic cuck king making deals to give more power and alliances to a fascist. What can possibly go wrong? Let’s ask Vittorio Emanuele III and Michael I of Romania.
This is why monarchy has to be destroyed, every single atom of it.
British Royals playing the longest game. Now I halfway excpect the Spanish inquisition next…
What the fuck? I know it’s Donald Dump, but despite all the insanity happening since his inauguration this is the first headline that manages to surprise even me. Dude’s talking about annexing Canada and Greenland on one hand, but then bows to the former UK colonial project? What?
GG Trump, I honestly did not see this one coming.
Same here, even amongst the craziness so far, this one surprised me.
Dudes got fucking dementia
I really wish removing a president wasn’t so difficult. We’re all staring at the train wreck being told it’s completely normal for a train to be running off the tracks.
The commonwealth is just another club for countries like the G7 these days. A lot of countries have been joining recently.
Does he sit on the floor of the oval office getting high and sending out memos? “Man, wouldn’t it be cool if we were like, you know, part of this kingdom man…”
" “I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!” Trump wrote in response to the report." He sounds like he’s been invited on a date.
He’s giving positive replies to whatever dumb shit his followers post to him on mastadon. And the media is still trying to milk him for all the clicks possible. Covfefe shit all over again.
There’s real shit to be worried about. Like the extra-judicial deportations, ie Mahmoud Kahlil.
The USA can join the Commonwealth by becoming a Territory of Canada. Just give us a sec while we change the rules on representation in the house of Commons.
Hold on, let’s ask George Washington and see what he says, oh right, fuck you traitor.
Benedict Arnold at least had an understandable (if stupid) reason to flip sides. Trump’s just an idiot.
He’s high, stupid, AND suffering from dementia.
Good lord, this is a strange timeline.
Oceans rise, empires faaaaaaaall…
Trump swearing loyalty to King Charles wasn’t in my predictions for this year
Take a picture of Trump kneeling in front of King Charles and share them to Maga world
there are 56 members of the commonwealth of nations. of those, only 15 are commonwealth realms. the rest are republics or a different monarchy.
india was the first republic member when they transitioned from dominion (with british monarch as head of state) to a republic in 1950.
commonwealth members need only recognize king charles as the ‘head of the commonwealth’, which is a purely ceremonial position.
Its Newsweek, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen trump taken out of context when going to a better source or the source …
I understand the plan now. America was great when it didn’t exist
If Russian speaking parts of Ukraine should be ceded to Russia by Trump’s opinion, English speaking parts of the USA may just as well join England again.
Welcome to reverse 1776. We are living in the twilight zone.
Technically, I don’t think that being in the Commonwealth as it exists in 2025 would actually change much. It’s a pretty loose organization these days. More than a third of the world’s population is in it.
Being in the Commonwealth realms, which are the Commonwealth members that have King Charles as head of state, would, I suspect, be unconstitutional.
EDIT: All that being said, I think that it’s reasonably safe to put this in the “distraction” category of Trump statements, rather than the “serious proposal” category.
Man I think it’s been 20 years since anyone gave a shit about the Commonwealth Games. I wonder if real young people are even aware they were once a thing…might even still be.
Benedict Orange.
Benedict Donald
