Cher is ready to leave the U.S. for good if Donald Trump is re-elected president in 2024. In a bold interview with The Guardian, she made her feelings clear.
“I almost got an ulcer the last time,” Cher said, expressing her frustration. “If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the country].”
As Trump’s presidency came to an end, he rolled back protections that kept LGBTQ people safe from discrimination. Cher didn’t hold back when discussing the issues facing trans rights and the shocking number of anti-LGBTQ bills being proposed.
“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.”
Cher has always been outspoken about Trump. When he first became president in 2020, she said, “I hate to even call him a president because all he does is watch TV.”
She also predicted that if Trump doesn’t win the election, he could have a dramatic reaction. “If Trump can’t be in the White House, he’s going to burn it down,” she warned. “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.”
Cher’s powerful words show she’s determined to stand up for what she believes in and support the rights of those who need it most.
