Greg Gutfeld has criticized wealthy Democrats who express a desire to live outside the United States. Citing a Breitbart poll, Gutfeld noted that 55% of these individuals feel this way. He argues that those with financial independence can easily relocate and maintain ties to America. He contrasts this with the reality for most Americans, who face significant challenges if they want to permanently leave the United States.
Musician Art Garfunkel is among the celebrities considering leaving the U.S. due to concerns about the Trump administration. In an interview with The Guardian, Garfunkel, 84, expressed his dissatisfaction with the country’s stance on various issues. He stated, “I don’t like America’s position at all. I’m not aboard, and I’m thinking of leaving the country, frankly.”
Garfunkel shared his concerns about climate change and international affairs, saying, “It’s real that the planet is getting warmer, that the water’s rising, that so many people are starving.” He also criticized Trump’s military actions in Venezuela, questioning if such actions redefine the rules of international conduct.
“When Donald Trump took over Venezuela, are those the new rules? Just take over a country and run it?”
Garfunkel highlighted his shock at these events and expressed hope for change, emphasizing that Trump’s presidency will not last forever.
Other celebrities have also considered or made moves abroad. Rosie O’Donnell relocated to Ireland following Trump’s 2024 election victory, while James Cameron planned a move to New Zealand. Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi made a permanent stay in the United Kingdom after the election.
O’Donnell, now living in Ireland, commented on Trump’s election with sarcasm, underscoring her decision to relocate.
Democratic strategist Kaivan Shroff noted that celebrity threats to leave the country often invite skepticism, although Garfunkel seems genuinely concerned about America’s direction. Shroff sees Garfunkel’s comments as more of a political statement rather than a firm commitment to leave.
While Garfunkel’s comments have captured attention, Shroff noted, “He sounds genuinely disturbed by where he thinks the country is headed.” This discussion highlights broader concerns among some Americans about the nation’s future role in global affairs.
