Celebrities Weigh Relocation Options Amid President Trump’s Policy Direction

Veteran musician Art Garfunkel, 84, told The Guardian that he is seriously considering leaving the United States because of the direction of President Trump’s administration. Garfunkel expressed worries about climate change, rising sea levels and global hunger, and criticized recent foreign‑policy actions.

Garfunkel’s Concerns

“I don’t like America’s position at all,” Garfunkel said. “I’m not aboard, and I’m thinking of leaving the country, frankly.” He added that the planet is getting warmer, water levels are rising, and many people are starving.

Recent Military Action

The singer also referenced President Trump’s decision to launch a military operation that led to the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, questioning the precedent of “taking over a country and running it.”

Other Celebrities’ Moves

Garfunkel is not the first entertainer to voice such thoughts. Comedian Rosie O’Donnell relocated to Ireland after the 2024 election, describing President Trump as “Mango Mussolini.” Director James Cameron has long spoken of a permanent move to New Zealand, and former talk‑show host Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi have made their residence in the United Kingdom permanent.

Political Analyst’s View

Democratic strategist Kaivan Shroff told Fox News Digital that celebrity statements about leaving the country are often more symbolic than actionable, noting that most such threats do not result in actual relocation. He said Garfunkel’s remarks reflect personal unease rather than a concrete plan.

Context

While the comments highlight a segment of public sentiment, the Trump administration maintains that its policies are aimed at protecting American interests, strengthening the economy, and asserting the nation’s role on the world stage.

Fox News Digital reached out to Garfunkel for additional comment. Lindsay Kornick contributed to this report.
