If Trump gets in, stars moving out
U.S. ELECTION: Celebs will go anywhere, even Jupiter, if Donald becomes president
“If me winning means Rosie O’Donnell moves to Canada, I’d be doing a great service to our country!”
Donald Trump responds to news that if he won the U.S. presidential election, Rosie O’Donnell says she would leave America.
Chelsea Handler says she’ll move to her house in Spain.
Lena Dunham is eyeing Vancouver. Trump’s reply: “Well, she’s a B-actor. And you know, has no mojo …”
Jon Stewart says he might just leave the planet entirely.
Why are all these celebrities on the move? They can’t abide Trump.
Handler, Dunham and Stewart are among many celebrities who have said, jokingly or otherwise, if Trump is elected, they will leave the U.S.
Many would consider moving to Canada. (There’s a website called cbiftrumpwins.com — Cape Breton If Donald Trump Wins — that shows off the beauty of the Nova Scotia island and suggests people come there. It’s had more than a million visits.)
Since the beginning of 2016, a number of celebs have gone on record to say a Trump presidential win would prompt them to move. Cher, for example, said she’d move to Jupiter if Trump got elected.
At the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, Vanity Fair magazine captured a dozen famous folk talking about plans to flee a Trumpled America. Armie Hammer, star of The Social Network and The Man from U.N.C.L.E., came up with the idea of moving to the Caribbean and starting a jet-ski business.
Some of the others who weighed in include Chloë Sevigny, who says she’ll move to Nova Scotia if Trump becomes president, Elizabeth Moss, who says she’s always had a hankering to live in Italy, and Kathryn Hahn, who opted for Iceland rather than sticking around. (Anyone who sees Hahn in the spectacularly funny film Bad Moms, which opens Friday, will know this would be Iceland’s gain.)
