There is no benefit to Britain and King Charles to incorporate this country -- and Trump -- into their fold.

Not to mention that (speculation on my part) I can see Trump expecting to receive a knighthood or something before entering into The Commonwealth.

And I can't see the Prince of Wales (Prince William) endorsing this proposition. I'm certain he remembers the relentless pursuit of his mother, Princess Diana, by Donald Trump.
