March 21, 20251 yr comment_27389829 Quote 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. Newsweek has reached out to the Commonwealth for comment via email Friday afternoon. Why It Matters The Commonwealth is primarily comprised of former British colonies or dependencies, born out of the breakup of the British Empire in the mid-20th century. Joining such a group could be seen as a different tact to Trump's other messages on groups such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the United Nations(U.N.), which he has been skeptical of. What To Know According to The Daily Mail, the king is expected to make the offer to make the U.S. the 57th member of the Commonwealth at a time when America's relationship with the European Union(EU) has been strained over Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia. The offer is being seen as a way to bolster the U.S. and United Kingdom's so-called "special relationship", despite America having famously split from British rule in the 1700s. The two countries have frequently worked together on foreign policy in the 20th and 21st centuries. While joining the Commonwealth would largely be symbolic, as the group does not affect governance of its member nations, the move could be used to help avoid the heightened tariffs on steel and aluminum Trump has promised, according to The Daily Mail. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-suggests-us-could-join-british-commonwealth-2048679 The founding fathers are rolling in their graves.

March 21, 20251 yr comment_27389879 I mean, the evolution of the internet has led to a lot of Americans learning and adopting many British colloquialisms they wouldn't otherwise understand or know so it's kind of interesting if America wants to come back under British rule.

March 21, 20251 yr comment_27389938 "I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!" Trump wrote in response to the report. This being the leader of one of the most powerfull countries in the world is sending me. It's not just that he's a morally disgracefull individual, surrounding himself with even more despicable persons. Everything about politics and the way he expresses himself really serves "politics if only people aged 4-10 could vote and make decisions".

March 21, 20251 yr comment_27390197 Lmao that would never, ever, EVER happen. Canada is part of the Commonwealth, and Trump has been threatening to annex/invade us for months now. There is a reason why the UK and all the members of the Commonwealth are beyond angry with America and are actively boycotting/denouncing them - a lot of it is in DEFENSE of Canada. Worms for brains.

He could literally **** on a picture of Jesus Christ and Evangelicals would still salivate for him. After all, Trump voters stated before that Jesus Christ would not be allowed to migrate to the US as an immigrant and they would turn him away.
