Nearly 250 years after America cast off the shackles of empire by declaring independence from Great Britain, President Donald Trump appears inclined to take a small step back towards the warm embrace of the British monarchy by accepting an invitation from King Charles III for the United States to join the Commonwealth of Nations.

The King is reportedly preparing to extend the offer of "associate membership" in the voluntary association of 56 nations, most of which have history as former British colonies. And Trump, it seems, is open to the idea.

Writing on his Truth Social platform while sharing an article referencing the unprecedented offer, Trump said: "I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!"

Trump did make "English" the USA's offical language.

Being a Commonwealth country mostly amounts to participating in a second rate Olympics that even people who live in those countries forget exists until there's a stadium being built for it where they live.

There's some preferential work visas among them as well. Would be easier to move to Australia or Aotearoa to work.

Oh God yes please.

Let me just fuck off to Scotland and finally be free of 4chan: the country.
