Now that the UK has left the EU and is a free agent without a clue, it’s time for us to take a hard look at making it one of the United States.

As an American, I'd embrace Mexico as a 51st state before I wished for UK to join.
I never felt as poor as I did when I was in London. As a poor American, the last thing I want is the influence of more rich people.
Besides, that Country has like 4 or 5 names already... with Brexit being the latest of which was added, it screams "Identity Crisis".

It wouldn't bother me as an American, but I think a more pertinent question would be is how those in the UK would feel about it.

It doesn't need to become a state, it's already the US's biggest aircraft carrier.
London is the capital of England. England is a country. Britain is an area that consists of England and the country of Wales. Great Britain is the name of the island that is home to the countries of England, Wales, and Scotland. The United Kingdom (UK) is a country that is a union of the countries on the island of Great Britain, along with the country of Northern Ireland (which shares the island of Ireland with the Republic of Ireland.) [The Republic of Ireland is] a separate country that is not part of the UK. London is also the capital of the UK.
