THESE celebrities say they're leaving America if Trump wins 2024 election
For the second time in recent history, the trash is promising to take itself out.
In an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," Barbara Streisand claimed she would leave the United States if Donald Trump is elected president in 2024.
“How do you feel about the specter of a second Trump administration?” Colbert asked Streisand, who replied,
“I will move. I can’t live in this country if he became president.”
When Colbert then asked her where she would go, Streisand said “England, I like England.”
This isn’t the first time Streisand has promised to leave the country.
In 2016, she claimed she would move to Canada if Trump became president. When he did become president, she stayed in the United States.
Streisand isn’t the only one. Whoopi Goldberg, Raven-Symoné, Miley Cyrus, Brian Cranston, Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer, and Chelsea Handler have all made similar promises in the past, but none of them followed through.
“Obviously this country would be a lot better if the people who claimed that they were going to leave it after Trump’s 2016 victory actually would have left, but they didn’t,” Blaze Media digital strategist Logan Hall says.
Hall believes these celebrities “don’t really have a lot of loyalty to America.”
“They don’t really feel like they’re American. They can just go and pack their bags and release all these horrible policies on the rest of us of lesser means who could not leave,” he adds.
Blaze Media editor in chief Matt Peterson notes that these celebrities' opinions couldn’t matter less, not just because they’re awful at staying true to their word.
“This is an 81-year-old actress. I have no idea why I should give two you know whats about what Barbara Streisand thinks about politics or anything else,” Peterson says.

First Target, now Macy’s yanks ‘woke’ celebrity activist’s merchandise after she reportedly told a teen celebrity to kill themselves: Report
Macy's has reportedly pulled all of model and activist Chrissy Teigen's cookware products from its line of offerings after she issued an apology for bullying a teenage celebrity.
The alleged abuse took place in 2011 and 2012 when model and reality star Courtney Stodden was just 16 years old.
Not the first store to drop the model's line
Target also reportedly dropped Teigen's line amid the controversy late last week.
On Thursday, Fox Business reported that Target opted to remove her cookware line.
"The retailer has pulled [Teigen's] Cravings cookware line from its website," Fox Business reported. "However, her trio of Cravings cookbooks remain available on the site."
In a statement, a Target spokesperson said, "We made the mutual decision in December to no longer carry the cookware line, given our continued focus on brands we develop and that can only be found at Target."
Target — though it has insisted that it dissolved the Teigen partnership as early as December — had Teigen's merchandise live for sale on its website as late as April 17, according to an internet archive search.
What are the details?
The New York Daily News on Monday reported that all of Teigen's products were inexplicably gone from Macy's website following a search.
"On Monday, a cursory search failed to turn up any results from Teigen's 'Cravings' line following Target removing the line from its website on Friday," the outlet reported.
The collection debuted at Macy's in 2020.
Indeed, an archive search found that at least 27 of Teigen's products appear to have been available up until Sunday before they were unceremoniously yanked from the store's inventory.
Macy's has yet to publicly comment on the reports at the time of this publication.
What else?
Over the last several months, Stodden — now 26 and who identifies as non-binary — has spoken out about Teigen's historical relentless bullying.
In one such instance, Teigen, who was in her mid-20s at the time, wrote, "@CourtneyStodden My Friday fantasy: you. dirt nap. mmmmmm baby."
In another instance, Teigen tweeted at the model and wrote, "Go. to sleep. forever."
Teigen also at one point tweeted, "@CourtneyStodden I hate you" and was said to have sent a private message to Stodden on social media advising suicide.
"[Teigen] wouldn't just publicly tweet about wanting me to take 'a dirt nap' but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself," Stodden told the Daily Beast. "Things like, 'I can't wait for you to die.'"
Teigen's harassment and that of many others, Stodden told the outlet, came as the model and TV star faced media criticism for marrying 51-year-old Doug Hutchison in 2011 at the tender young age of 16.
Following the revelation, Teigen issued an apology to Stodden, which said, "Not a lot of people are lucky enough to be held accountable for all their past bulls**t in front of the entire world. I'm mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention seeking troll. I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior."
"But that is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel," Teigen continued. "I have worked so hard to give you guys joy and be beloved and the feeling of letting you down is nearly unbearable, truly. These were not my only mistakes and surely won't be my last as hard as I try but god I will try!!"
Teigen reportedly blocked Stodden on Twitter following the apology.
Stodden wrote, "I accept her apology and forgive her. But the truth remains the same, I have never heard from her or her camp in private. In fact, she blocked me on Twitter. All of me wants to believe this is a sincere apology, but it feels like a public attempt to save her partnerships with Target and other brands who are realizing her 'wokeness' is a broken record."
