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’ll be expecting my meme royalties, cheeky bastards!
Oceans rise, empires faaaaaaaall…
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.
Last 2 guys who tried.
Remember there was that dude with an AK hiding in golf course bushes. He didn’t shoot, but you can also count that as missing his shot, as he was well within the range of the rifle.
You don’t need tracks where you’re going!
We thought the Cold War never ended, but it was actually the Revolutionary War all along
Britain rips off a Russian mask and gallops away laughing while sipping tea
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
Same here, even amongst the craziness so far, this one surprised me.
Were you expecting reason or consistency?
Of course not - treason and inconsistency!
This is just another stupid Friday distraction to keep people from talking about other crimes being committed
“If you don’t make news for the weekend, then the news agencies will, and we haven’t outlawed free press yet”

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.
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. :)
Donald Trump is “The Slack Bladder!”
I just started watching Black Adder, so I’m glad I was able to get the joke. Great show for those who haven’t seen it btw.
Trump has no cunning plans.
I got the black adder spoonerism but not the rest of the joke. Is it worth asking? I haven’t seen the show.
I don’t think it’s a specific reference, but Black Adder follows a series of fictional incompetent royal family members throughout history all played by Rowan Atkinson. Some of my new favorite work from him.
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.

Can we dump Trump into the Boston harbor?
And hold him there.
I’ll get working on the lead boots.
It’s okay, I don’t think he can swim.
But he’s too fat to sink
We gotta make sure to poke some holes in him, so he takes on water…
so like a Caesar tea party punch bowl thing?
I give my approval to do so.
He’s high, stupid, AND suffering from dementia.
Good lord, this is a strange timeline.
British Royals playing the longest game. Now I halfway excpect the Spanish inquisition next…
Not mine…
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.
Sounds more like a Musk idea.
I can see his gigantic ego and narcissism telling him he needs to wear a crown and scepter.
Then surely the plebs will finally respect and validate him.
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
Shit I’d buy the tea myself to make that deal happen.
It’s like a Family Guy sketch.
Hell, you can just take the whole Republican Party if you want to make some old-school object-examples
You know, the British do have a nasty history with Republicans…
