Rosie O’Donnell made headlines this week after announcing she moved to Ireland to escape President Donald Trump. The comedian posted a tearful video saying she left America to protect her 12-year-old child, claiming they won’t return until “equal rights” are restored. Critics were quick to point out that Ireland has stricter abortion laws than Mississippi, making her claims about equality seem out of touch.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi beat her to the exit, settling in England last year. They bought a mansion in the Cotswolds after calling Trump’s America “dystopian.” Meanwhile, Texas and Florida are booming with new residents fleeing high taxes and chaos in blue states like California and New York.
Actress America Ferrera reportedly scouted schools in London, saying she’s “sick” over Trump’s win. She claims she’ll keep fighting for “Latinas and women” from overseas. Most Americans find it ironic that these wealthy stars lecture about struggles while sipping tea in European mansions.
Sharon Stone threatened to move to Italy but hasn’t left yet. She called Americans “naive” for not sharing her panic. Meanwhile, Trump’s policies have brought record job growth and rising wages, making his “tyranny” claims hard to swallow.
Laverne Cox says she fears for transgender safety under Trump, though no laws targeting the community have passed. Her plans to research “Caribbean cities” sound more like vacation plotting than genuine exile.
Rosie’s feud with Trump goes back years, with the president joking to Ireland’s leader, “You’re better off not knowing her.” Her dramatic exit looks like attention-seeking, not activism. Most Americans are too busy thriving in Trump’s economy to notice her absence.
Celebrities like Eva Longoria split time between Spain and Mexico, calling America “scary.” Yet red states like Texas and Tennessee see massive population growth as families chase opportunity, not fear.
While Hollywood elites play refugee, real Americans build lives in freedom-loving states. The “Donald Dashers” can keep their overpriced European escapes. Middle America is too busy winning to care.
