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.
If the US became a british commonwealth before 2016, trump would probably never have became the head of government, since there would be more than 2 parties and much less extremism.
On the bright side This is a better choice than bending the knee to Putin
I...just...what...I...I...I....
Awww fuck this.

Seems pretty harmless. Especially if it is used to forget about threats made. What am I missing?
