Cher says Trump’s reelection would drive her out of US
Cher is vowing to exit the United States if former President Trump wins the 2024 presidential election.
“I almost got an ulcer the last time,” the “Believe” singer said of Trump’s time in the White House, during an interview with The Guardian published Wednesday.
“If he gets in, who knows?” Cher said. “This time I will leave [the country,]” the Grammy Award winner declared.
The performer has been a longtime vocal Trump critic, calling the 45th president a “f‑‑‑ing traitor” and saying in a 2018 interview that he had done “so much damage” to the country.

It’s not the first time that Cher, who was born Cherilyn Sarkisian, has said she’ll hightail it out of the country if Trump landed in the Oval Office.
In 2016, the 77-year-old entertainer was one of several celebrities who pledged to pack their bags if Trump, then a GOP presidential nominee, won his White House bid.
Cher wrote on social media at the time that if Trump were elected, she would be “moving to Jupiter.”
Other stars who made a similar promise to leave the country if Trump won in 2016 included Miley Cyrus, Samuel L. Jackson, Chelsea Handler and Amy Schumer.
