A lot of liberal celebrities are not pleased with Donald Trump’s lead in the 2016 presidential race. In fact, many are promising to leave the United States if the Republican front-runner is elected. Trump has gotten wind of this, and seems to be having fun with the idea.


On a Tuesday episode of “Fox and Friends,” the hosts told Trump that stars such as comediennes Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O’Donell and actress Lena Dunham said they would flee the country if he becomes president.


“We’ll get rid of Rosie? Oh, I love it. Now I have to get elected!” he said in a phone interview. “Now I have to get elected because I’ll be doing a great service to our country. I have to. Now it’s much more important. In fact, I’ll immediately get off this call and start campaigning right now.”

Here’s a list of celebrities who vow to leave the country if Trump is elected.

Rev. Al Sharpton

Civil rights activist Al Sharpton said if Trump wins the election, he’ll leave the U.S. before he’s forced to leave.

“If Donald Trump is the nominee, I’m open to support anyone [else], while I’m also reserving my ticket to get out of here if he wins, only because he’d probably have me deported anyway,” Sharpton said.

According to The Washington Examiner, Sharpton is hoping Marco Rubio will be the Republican nominee.
