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.
I thought he wanted to be a king, what a dumb dumb.
Might be easiest to join a ready made monarchy in that case. All you have to do then is claw your way through the ranks til you reach the throne. No need to change the constitution. :)
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.

You just need someone with better aim than the last guy who tried.
Welcome to reverse 1776. We are living in the twilight zone.
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.
I am wondering if he thinks this means unrestricted access to natural resources of eastern members lol
He's high, stupid, AND suffering from dementia.
Good lord, this is a strange timeline.
Lmfao what?
Actually, you know what, that’s a great idea orangeboi. Let’s go for it.
To the Brits: considering this is basically us coming back to you hat in hand, I think it’d be quite reasonable to exact some sort of penance from us. Perhaps we could surrender our President to the King’s tender mercies? Hell, you can just take the whole Republican Party if you want to make some old-school object-examples of what the appropriate treatment of fascists is.
When I read it earlier I burst out laughing
Throw in a few crates of tea to replace the ones lost in that unfortunate boating accident and we'll consider it.
I will find a way to supply you with tea thoroughly for the rest of your natural life if you take that orange fuck off our hands
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.
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.
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.
You don't need to go too far, King Edward III is believed to write letters of good intent to hitler, urging him to keep bombing the UK a little more and that they would cave in.
This would make a great entry point for the protests against this. And the left should be a bit opportunist and use the "proud British" rhetoric that the right used for Brexit against US "taking over leadership of CW"
As non-functional as it is, we don't need to make it ten times worse. If this happens Elon and Trump will likely behave like they own the rights to every resource on the eastern members of CW.
Also trying to side with an openly fascist, sexist, racist president? King Edward III much?
British Royals playing the longest game. Now I halfway excpect the Spanish inquisition next...
I have no fucking idea what to make of this
I'm beginning to think he's a bit enamoured with class, Sir Keir seemed to come out of his meeting with Trump relatively unscathed too. Almost like he sees posh people as his social superiors?
He is the poor man's idea of a rich man.
He is a weak man's idea of a strong man.
He is the failure's idea of success.
He is delusion made manifest.
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.
I understand the plan now. America was great when it didn't exist
What is even happening
Am I the only one who things this is way more insane than 2016-2020? He did tell people to drink bleach but that is borderline stable.
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.
Is that how we'll annex Canada? Get the crown to hand it over as dowry for our reentry to the Old Dominion?
I've seen this move. This is what I do in CK3 when my economy is about to crumble
Wait a minute. If we do that, he can’t punish Canada. Then again he’s stupid. 🤷♀️
you know what? fuck you *unrevolutionizes your america*
