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
Here's What They're Not Telling You About Your Retirement
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...

Pathetic poor excuses for men and women.
These are all actors that no one really has any interest in. Either they weren’t that popular, or their best acting days are already behind them. Seems they still believed they had some pull, or that people would rather vote for someone else than “lose” them to Canada???
We would be so much better off without every single one of those lying hypocrites.
The last statement should be Who will care? Not we will see.
I’d like to smack, then deport every one of these libtard bastards.
Just more anti-American leftist lying. Since the 70’s we’ve been promised California was going to fall into the sea, and then global warming means less snow. Lying and whining is typical democrat behavior.
They will all be hanged at GITMO or Camp Blatz, Guam or elsewhere for pedophilia and/or treason and/or sedition.
Miley no longer in the news. Who are Lena, Bryan and Chelsea? Cher and Barbra are no longer relevant. I don’t hear much about Jackson. Whoopie is the only one with a job and the show she is on is like a squeak to to occupy the mental midgets who watch the View thinking they will appear to have an IQ higher than a smart border collie.
They said that because they actually think that they would influence the way people vote. They are so full of themselves it takes my breath away.
Please keep your promises this time.
Did any of them leave? I think they should be held to their public words and deported.
By catapult. PULL!!
But, they are leaving California in droves, aren’t they?
Somewhere, someplace there exists a slobbering moron who voted against Trump because the thought of life without them was unbearable.
Many of these are washed up celebrities who are seeking attention as part of remaining relevant. I would bet that some of the older ones on this list have the beginnings of dementia. They all have a couple things in common…they’re all Democrats and they’re all liars.
They were hoping somebody would beg them to stay.
I sure hope nobody was THAT stupid!
Maybe Trump could exile them to those countries they prefer, when he gets back in the White House again. Why would they object? 🤔
Lincoln exiled people, and leftists insist he was the best President ever, except maybe the Ch*mp and Big Mike.
Sambo Jackson INSISTED he was NOT BLUFFING, that he was dead serious.
Guess he was still smoking crack.

why wait get the hell back to russia, china and your own kind in hell
Get a message to these self-righteous primadonnas…PLEASE LEAVE nobody gives a tiny rats a**. These people are so insufferable as if ANYONE is going to say, “MY God we cant vote for Trump (fill in the blank) might leave the country! HA, I’d be more than willing to help them all pack just to get rid of them!
If you make your living pretending that you are someone else eventually you will not know who you are.
Garbage in, garbage out. Shame we can’t force these challenged actors to follow through with their promises to leave. Maybe next time.
“Actors” Mwa Mwa
Always projecting a facade.
Yeah, yeah. How many times have we heard this BS? They should be exiled!
They never keep their promises.
They never lead by example
