Nope. The law assumes any act of renunciation is for tax purposes, so you either are still subject to US income tax for 10 years or run an exercise simulating a liquidation of all global assets and pay a capital gains tax on the lot. And the interview for renunciation now costs like $5k alone.

I used to live and still vote in her district and I consistently voted against her in the primaries for whoever was challenging her from the left. Her district is a lot more left wing than she is.
