Do celebrities really mean it when they threaten to leave the country if a particular candidate wins an election? It seems the recurring promise of expatriation has become somewhat of a quadrennial tradition, especially when Donald Trump's name is on the ballot.
The idea of packing bags and seeking refuge abroad has resonated with a segment of Hollywood elite, and the latest to reiterate this sentiment is none other than Barbra Streisand. One year prior to the upcoming 2024 presidential election, the celebrated singer and actress made an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," where she declared, with unwavering conviction, that she simply "can't live in the U.S." if Donald Trump secures another term in office. This pronouncement echoes similar sentiments expressed by other prominent figures, including Cher, who, during an appearance on the same show exactly one year prior, stated that she would also leave the country should Trump run and win.
