John Legend said that if Trump is re-elected, then Americans will have to go away
Everyone seems to have something to say about Trump's bid for re-election as president.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan UK magazine, famed American singer John Legend said Americans would have to consider leaving the country if Trump succeeded in re-election.
"Every once in a while I think, I was born here, I grew up here, all my family is here, so deeply bound, it's hard to make up my mind to leave the United States," he said. But I don't know what else I can do when a leader tries to undermine democracy in his own country. ”
"If this person is going to gradually destroy our democracy, then we have to think about going to a place that is truly democratic, a place that respects the rule of law and human rights," he added. ”
"If American democracy is destined to go downhill, then people have to start thinking about living elsewhere," he said, "and being forced to leave their homeland would make me very uneasy and worried." ”
John Legend and his wife, Chrissy Tegan, have publicly opposed Trump's re-election as president. Even when Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, John Legend tweeted that "Trump is a disgrace to our country."
Trump once commented on Twitter that John Legend was "boring" and called Tygen "the legend's foul-mouthed wife."
Legend called Trump "stingy, narcissistic, and immature" in an interview. In 2017, when Trump blocked Tygen on social media platforms because trump complained on Twitter that Republicans were not protecting him, Tygen posted: "That's because no one likes you at all."
It is not only the John legend who openly oppose Trump, the goddess Mold has expressed her dislike for Trump more than once, and called on everyone to vote for Trump together. Aunt May once gave a nearly five-minute speech without mentioning Trump, but criticized Trump from beginning to end. Best Comedy Actor Donald Glover said: "I want to thank Trump for making black people the most oppressed group." If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have stood on the stage. Talk show host Jimmy also asked him halfway through the Oscars when Trump asked if he was alive.
The legend also said in this interview: "I think Trump's three-and-a-half-year term has left the United States devastated, and if we can't stand it for another four years, we should be like Obama said, we have to vote for ourselves." And I think Americans are happy to vote. ”
The legend supports Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. I don't know if in the face of the upcoming first debate between Trump and Biden, the legend will "help" Biden.
