Singer Barbra Streisand has pledged to leave the United States if Donald Trump is reelected in 2024. The 81-year-old made this promise during an interview with late night host Stephen Colbert, saying, “I can’t live in this country if he became president.” Streisand also mentioned that she would move to England if Trump wins. This announcement has come as a shock to many, and is reminiscent of a similar pledge made by another singer, Cher, who also vowed to leave the country if Trump is reelected. The statement was made during a recent interview with The Guardian. Cher, 77, said, “This time I will leave [the country].” She had also previously claimed that she would move to Jupiter if Trump became president in 2015.
Streisand has been promoting her massive over one thousand-page memoir called “My Name Is Barbra,” where she criticized Trump for being unfit to be president and wrote that he “lies as easily as he breathes.” She expressed her shock over his presidential win in 2016, describing it as “unforgivable” and “four years in a black hole” during Trump’s presidency, according to People Magazine. The memoir also includes her adoration for Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as her criticism of Trump.
This is not the first time that Streisand has been vocal about her dislike for Trump. She has spent years attacking him and his administration, criticizing their lack of honesty. These statements come in the wake of her new memoir, where she gushes about the Clintons and expresses her disapproval of Trump.
Cher, on the other hand, had previously claimed that she would move to Jupiter if Trump was elected in 2015, suggesting that she would leave the country due to her frustratingly close encounter with Trump’s presidency.
Both Streisand and Cher have been vocal about their dislike for Trump, and their recent statements have garnered mixed reactions across social media. While some have expressed support for their decision to leave if Trump wins, others have criticized them for their ultimatums, suggesting that the country would be better off without them.
Given the public response to their statements, it remains to be seen whether Streisand and Cher will follow through with their pledges. Nonetheless, their announcements have sparked a conversation about the potential impact of Trump’s reelection on the United States’ cultural landscape.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, the statements made by Streisand and Cher will likely continue to generate debate, both in the political and entertainment spheres. For now, the public will have to wait and see if these two singers will indeed leave the United States if Donald Trump is reelected.
