    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.
