I don't really think that reasoning makes much sense... >UK will get a deal from Trump and will compete with Silicon Valley Why would the US government offer a deal that brings up a major city to compete with one of its own? >Not to mention it can expand within the old colonies Most of those were given up in the last 10 or so years or so, and most of their "citizens" have no real allegiance to the crown. And anyway, the UK is already better off than most of those countries already, so they'd have to pull the new county past wherever the UK already is. >maybe even get a great deal from China Maybe I'll get a great deal from china if I renounce my US citizenship but there's no reason to believe that's the case (plus, china will want to benefit from the deal somehow...)
