In a twist of fate in American political history, Donald Trump has affirmatively entered his second, non-sequential term in the esteemed office of the United States Presidency, resulting from triumph over Kamala Harris in the ace competition of the November elections. Despite Harris securing the support of renowned celebrities like Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez, their influence lacked the capacity to finalize a victory against Trump. The onset of Trump’s presidency has led to a significant number of celebrities reevaluating their residence in the US, whereby some have already put in actions, while others have strongly expressed their views. Let’s explore how the stars are reacting to this shift in political waste-land:
In an unexpected turn of events, Ellen DeGeneres, once a celebrated face of US talk shows, relocated outside the borders of the country last year, alongside her wife, Portia de Rossi. Turning their back on their homeland, the duo has opted for the beautiful landscape of the British Cotswolds, known for its quaint appeal, joining the local community of A-list citizens such as David Beckham and Kate Moss.
Reports from a source informed the Daily Mail that Ellen’s decision could possibly have political connotations. The source quoted, “A large section of the US has developed a disliking for her based on her sexual orientation and some have, additionally, been repulsed by her ‘perceived’ fake persona in the wake of previous accusations of a hostile workplace.” Furthermore, the source emphasized, “Ellen appears to find it easier to evade her problems rather than facing them directly.”
Whoopi Goldberg, a renowned name in Hollywood, has for a long time publicized her negative sentiments towards Trump. Regardless of her later rectifications indicating she had no plans of relocation, her aversion for Trump has shown no signs of diminishing over time. She was quoted as saying, “Notwithstanding the fact that he’s the president, I still refuse to utter his name — and that is a constant.”
A well-known actress, Eva Longoria, has openly declared her intention to move her family beyond the boundaries of America, given this renewed mandate of Trump’s presidency. Her new transition plan encompasses dividing her time between the diverse landscapes of Spain and Mexico.
Hollywood actress, Sophie Turner, breathed a sigh of relief manifesting her delight on leaving US shores, upon her recent return to Britain. The pressing political issues such as lax gun control measures and the challenge to established legislation like Roe v. Wade have been cited as the critical reasons driving her decision. “Concerns like rampant gun violence, the risk of Roe v. Wade getting overturned… all of this just added up.” she elaborates.
Unraveling the little pleasures of her relocation, Turner further commented, “In every city we stayed, my immediate quest was to locate a British store and replenish a month’s supply of my favorite chocolate.”
Renowned actress, America Ferrera, has notably been speculated to consider shifting her base to the UK, following the fresh wave of Trump’s re-election. Close sources of Ferrera echoed her despair, stating, “America is unable to digest that Donald Trump is the President again. The defeat of Kamala Harris has shattered her belief in her homeland. She thought her country was more magnanimous than that.”
However, despite being reportedly distressed with her country’s choice in leadership, Ferrera intends to continue her association with her Hollywood career. As of now, her representatives have made no official acknowledgments about these purported claims.
