In the world of showbiz, there’s one thing we know for sure: stars love to make big statements. Over the years, some of the biggest names in music, film, and television have taken bold stances on politics, and in 2016, a handful of celebrities made headlines with a dramatic promise—they’d leave the country if Donald Trump won the presidency. Now, with Trump making waves once again, many are wondering: Will they follow through this time?
Back in the day, it was the kind of celebrity declaration that made fans do a double-take. From award show speeches to social media posts, everyone from A-list actors to Grammy-winning artists took a stand, claiming that a Trump presidency would send them packing to Canada, Europe, or beyond. While it was a dramatic stance, it also left a lot of people thinking, How serious could they be? After all, relocating your whole life just because you didn’t like the election outcome isn’t exactly simple—or realistic.
Yet here we are, with Trump back in the political spotlight, and fans are once again raising the question: Will these celebrities actually leave the country if he wins again? For many Trump supporters, there’s a certain irony—and maybe even humor—in watching these celebrities make such sweeping statements, only to remain firmly planted in Hollywood. After all, it’s one thing to say it, but it’s another thing entirely to pack up and go.
As political tensions rise, many fans of Trump have a message for those celebrities: “If you said you’d go, maybe it’s time to actually do it.” It’s not about pushing anyone out; rather, it’s about holding people accountable to their own words. To Trump supporters, it feels like a double standard when stars can dish out strong opinions without following through on the promises they make.
And maybe, just maybe, there’s a bit of humor here too. The thought of a mass celebrity exodus to Canada over politics is the stuff of satire—and it shows just how passionate people have become on both sides. So, for those fans of “We the People,” it’s a reminder that, regardless of who’s in office, millions of Americans are here to stay, believing in their country’s potential.
To those celebrities who said they’d leave the country if things didn’t go their way, the door is open, and now might be the time to make that move. But for everyone else? They’re staying right here, ready to shape the future they believe in.
