Could Trump Be the Next UK Prime Minister?
22nd September 2025
Could President Donald Trump become the next prime minister of the United Kingdom? Conservative U.K. politician Jacob Rees-Mogg said the 47th American president could serve across the pond after he wraps his second term.
In an opinion piece published Monday by The Telegraph, Rees-Mogg laid out his case for Trump, which hinges on the Republican president’s Scottish-born mother.
“A child born to a British mother, who was herself born in these Isles, normally has a right to British citizenship,” Rees-Mogg wrote. “Thus, Donald Trump could become a subject of His Majesty, granting him eligibility to stand for Parliament at the next election in 2029, shortly after his term in office as American president ends. If he were then elected, the King could send for him to ask him to form a government as prime minister.”
They could do worse–and have, for decades. But I doubt that he’d do it; Britain is too much of a proglodyte paradise for any rational person’s taste. But never say never….

It might just be possible… (The Telegraph) “This constitutional possibility, an admittedly remote one, has the great virtue of winding up po-faced Lefties who suffer from Trump derangement syndrome, but it also would be an excellent idea, as this country needs a jolt of Trump to extricate it from the slough of despond.”
