Celebrities who vowed to leave the United States after the election
Rumors are flying that Bruce Springsteen has vowed to leave the country if Donald Trump wins the 2024 election. He didn’t say it.
But false promises of leaving the country if a celebrity didn’t get their way has been a real thing and not always said in jest.
Here’s a list of famous people who promised to leave the country if Trump were elected. I hope you didn't bet money on them leaving since none did.
Miley Cyrus
In 2016, Cyrus wanted Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton, and when that nomination didn’t happen posted this on Instagram:
“Honestly f*** this s*** I am moving if this is my president! I don’t say things I don’t mean!”
Raven-Symone
She vowed the following insanity:
“My confession for this election is if any Republican gets nominated, I'm going to move to Canada with my entire family. I already have my ticket."
Gets nominated? Uh, one always gets nominated. Anyway, she never moved to Canada.
Amy Schumer
“My act will change because I will need to learn to speak Spanish because I will move to Spain or somewhere. It’s beyond my comprehension if Trump won. It’s just too crazy.”
Once he won, she had a very different statement.
“Anyone saying pack your bags is just as disgusting as anyone who voted for this racist, homophobic, openly disrespectful woman abuser. Like the rest of us, I am grieving today."
Samuel L. Jackson
“If that mother—er becomes president, I’m moving my black ass to South Africa.”
He became president. Jackson’s black ass remained in the United States.
Bryan Cranston
“Absolutely, I would definitely move.”
He didn’t move.
Lena Dunham
This one was so bold she swore she would move out of the country and called out others who only said they would and really wouldn’t.
"I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will. I know a lovely place in Vancouver.”
Trump became president. She never moved.
Neve Campbell
Campbell is already a Canadian native and, in 2016, vowed to move back home should Trump win the White House.
She didn’t move and had not much to say after he won.
Chelsea Handler
The comic and author said this in 2016:
“I did buy a house in another country just in case…so all these people that threaten to leave the country and then don’t — I actually will leave that country.”
She didn’t leave. Then, she lamely said she was only staying because her co-workers begged her to. "Everyone in my office is like, 'You have a responsibility, you have a voice, and you need to use it, and you have to be here.”
