In the heated atmosphere of the 2016 presidential election, several celebrities threatened to leave the United States if Donald Trump became president. Fast forward to today, and many of those same stars are still here, living their best lives. Here’s a look at some of the most prominent figures who didn’t follow through on their promises.
1. Miley Cyrus
The pop sensation Miley Cyrus made headlines with her passionate opposition to Trump. She even took to Instagram to declare she would leave the country if he won. Despite her strong words, Miley remains a fixture in the American entertainment scene.
2. Lena Dunham
Lena Dunham, the creator of the TV show
Girls, was vocal about her disdain for Trump, promising to move to Canada if he became president. Dunham is still stateside, continuing her work in the entertainment industry and activism.
3. Whoopi Goldberg
The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg expressed her intent to leave the U.S. should Trump take office. Goldberg remains a staple on American television, offering her opinions on current events daily.
4. Amy Schumer
Comedian Amy Schumer was another celebrity who vowed to leave the country if Trump won. Schumer even specified Spain as her destination. Today, she is still in the U.S., performing and producing comedy specials.
5. Cher
The legendary singer Cher took to Twitter, stating she would move to Jupiter if Trump became president. While a move to the gas giant was clearly hyperbolic, Cher has also stayed in the U.S., continuing her illustrious career.
6. Samuel L. Jackson
Actor Samuel L. Jackson threatened to move to South Africa if Trump was elected. Jackson, known for his roles in countless blockbuster films, remains an active and influential figure in Hollywood.
7. Chelsea Handler
Comedian Chelsea Handler claimed she would move to Spain if Trump won. Although she has traveled extensively, Handler continues to live in the U.S., working on various projects and hosting TV shows.
8. Barbra Streisand
Iconic singer and actress Barbra Streisand said she would consider moving to Canada or Australia if Trump won. Streisand has stayed put, continuing to engage in political activism and entertainment.
9. Bryan Cranston
Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston declared he would move to Canada if Trump won. Cranston remains a prominent actor in Hollywood, never making the move north.
10. Neve Campbell
Actress Neve Campbell, known for her role in the
Scream series, mentioned she might return to her native Canada if Trump won. Campbell, however, continues to live and work in the United States.
Despite their bold claims, these celebrities chose to remain in the country, continuing their careers and influencing American culture and politics. It seems the allure of the U.S. is too strong to leave behind.
As the 2024 election approaches, a new list of celebrities has emerged who have threatened to leave the country if Donald Trump is elected again. This list includes stars like Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney, and Barbara Streisand, who have all voiced their intentions to leave if Trump wins. We will see…
