Cher is fully prepared to leave the U.S. if Donald Trump is re-elected president in 2024.
The pop icon made the bold claim in a recent interview with The Guardian.
“I almost got an ulcer the last time,” Cher said. “If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the country].”
At the tail end of Trump’s presidency he rolled back nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people.
The “Believe” singer did not hold back when discussing trans rights and the number of bills being passed against the LGBTQ community.
“It’s something like 500 bills they’re trying to pass,” Cher said. “I was with two trans girls the other night – and of course my own child [Chaz is trans]. I was saying ‘We’ve got to stand together.’ I don’t know what their eventual plan is for trans people. I don’t put anything past them.”
This isn’t the first time Cher has spoken her mind about Trump. When he became president in 2020, she said, “I hate to even call him a president because all he does is watch TV.”
Cher also predicted the former president would have a meltdown if he didn’t win the reelection.
“If Trump can’t be in the White House, he’s going to burn it down,” she stated. “He’s the most vindictive person I’ve ever witnessed. I think he’s fighting so hard because he’s going to be prosecuted when he gets out of the White House.”
