#3 Trump, whose mother is Scottish and a royalist, has also expressed his enthusiasm for building his connections with the Royal family.

Unlike Jeb, he appears to listen to his mother.

#5 Sorry USN Ret, I've gotta disagree about the beer. Brit beer is really good stuff.

Cricket and driving? That I'll give you.

And then there's scotch.........

#8 Don't know if it is true or if it will ever come to be but despite that the US should act like it is a member. Confiding with the Commonwealth states before any major foreign policy initiatives.

#9 "Associate Member" doesn't do us justice. How about "Ass Kicking Member" or "Awesome Member"?

Help me here...

#10 Yep. Join with the Commonwealth of Nations that tend to agree with us and get rid of the UN.
