A lot of celebrities have fled the US ever since Donald Trump won the 2024 election and became the president of the United States - again.
I can't say I blame them, to be honest. Ever since Trump has once again occupied the White House, he's kept himself busy making the lives of everyone else unbearable.
As of late, Trump has claimed there is only two genders, therefore erasing the identity of the people who identify as the other 70 genders, he's deported a bunch of 'criminals' - whilst playing fast and loose with that word - as well as children, caused a massive tariff war, which is more likely to affect the every day American than it is any business, p*ssed of Greenland and the Catholics... am I missing anything?
Oh yeah, he also humiliated President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the world stage and accused him of 'gambling with WW3' - although the two have since made up at Pope Francis' funeral.
