In the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, many celebrities proudly vocalized their opinions on President-elect Donald Trump.

While some showed support, others, including Sharon Stone, Cher and Barbra Streisand, have expressed their disapproval and even threatened to leave the U.S. if he were to be elected.
“I am certainly considering a house in Italy,” Stone told the Daily Mail in July. “I think that’s an intelligent construct at this time. This is one of the first times in my life that I’ve actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression.”
In a 2023 interview with the Guardian, Cher said, “I almost got an ulcer the last time. If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the country].”
Streisand told host Stephen Colbert that she wouldn’t be able to “live in this country if he becomes president,” and admitted she’d probably move to England.
This idea of celebrities fleeing the country after an election is nothing new, says Doug Eldridge, founder of Achilles PR.
“Every four years, you hear the same recycled rhetoric from celebrities. It’s become a running joke at this point. It’s ‘all talk, no walk,’” Eldridge told Fox News Digital. foxnews.com
