Celebrity Criticism of U.S. Policies and Thoughts of Relocation

Greg Gutfeld on Wealthy Elites and Relocation

Greg Gutfeld is critical of wealthy Democrats who express a desire to live outside the U.S., referring to a Breitbart poll revealing 55% hold such sentiments. He argues that financially independent individuals can easily relocate abroad and maintain connections with America. He points out that most Americans do not share this luxury and face considerable obstacles in permanently relocating.

Art Garfunkel’s Concerns

Musician Art Garfunkel, aged 84, has joined the list of celebrities considering leaving the U.S. due to concerns about President Donald Trump’s administration and policies. In a Guardian interview, Garfunkel expressed dissatisfaction with America’s position on crucial issues and contemplated moving elsewhere. He voiced concerns about climate change, international relations, and other political matters.

“The planet is getting warmer, the water’s rising, and so many people are starving.” – Art Garfunkel.

Criticism of Trump’s Actions

Garfunkel also criticized Trump’s military operation leading to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, currently detained in Brooklyn. He described the operation as shocking and expressed hope for change in the U.S. presidency.

Celebrities Considering Relocation

Garfunkel joins other American celebrities contemplating or already relocating abroad while criticizing Trump’s presidency. Notably, comedian Rosie O’Donnell relocated to Ireland after Trump’s 2024 election victory. Director James Cameron planned a move to New Zealand, criticizing Trump as his New Zealand citizenship neared. Ellen DeGeneres decided to remain in the UK post-election.

O’Donnell temporarily returned to the U.S. for a guest-hosting stint, focusing on her new residency in Ireland.

Reaction from Political Strategists

Democratic strategist Kaivan Shroff commented on celebrity threats to leave the country, often dismissing them as trivial except in Garfunkel’s case. He noted Garfunkel’s significant alienation, feeling disconnected from the U.S.’s role in the world.

Shroff suggested Garfunkel’s remarks were more a political statement than a genuine intent to leave. He remarked the unease expressed by Garfunkel isn’t isolated among the American populace.

Fox News Digital sought further comments from Garfunkel.
