Sharon Stone Threatens To Leave America If Trump Wins Second Term


Hollywood celebrity Sharon Stone has threatened to leave the United States of America in favor of Europe if former President Donald Trump wins in November because she claims the Republican presidential nominee “wants his own country.”

In a red carpet interview at the Taormina Film Festival in Sicily where she was the recipient of a lifetime achievement award, Stone took the opportunity to make her far-left opinions clear.

“Well I’m certainly considering a house here, and I think that’s an intelligent construct at this time,” the Basic Instinct star told Deadline.

When asked if the move would be politically motivated, she replied, “Well naturally. Naturally. When we see presidential candidates whose platform is hate, that’s something that I don’t feel our country has faced before. We faced political candidates whose platform was ignorance. But I don’t think we’ve seen political candidates whose outright platform was hatred.”

Stone didn’t elaborate on what qualifies as “hate” or “hatred” and the Deadline reporter didn’t challenge the actress on her claim.

“Every country historically goes through a period where someone wants to own their country. And in many cases people do. […] Of course I am deeply concerned with what’s happening in my country right now,” Stone said in a follow-up interview.

“This is one of the first times in my life that I’ve actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression.”

Back in 2016, dozens of Hollywood celebrities vowed to leave the US if Donald Trump won the presidential election.

They included Amy Schumer, George Clooney, Lena Dunham, Cher, Samuel L. Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Snoop Dogg, George Lopez, and Miley Cyrus. Even Barbra Streisand vowed to move to Australia or Canada.

None of them followed through on their promise.
