Leaving the United States if Trump wins?

Question

To begin, this is not for Trump supporters to bombard my question with how much they love Trump.

But who of you have considered leaving the U.S. if Trump so happens to win the 2016 election? Where would you go and why? I am considering somewhere in central america because it s cheap and warm. But I do plan to move back after 4-8 years after he is out of office.

Answer 1

It has nothing to do with Trump, but I've been leaning to Costa Rica. I heard they started their freedom from petroleum back in 1945 and now, depending on the amount of rain they get, are between 80 and 99% oil and coal free. If you don't want to live like an American there, you can live very cheaply. Houses with land go for as little as $50,000. The food is locally grown, etc. Spanish is an easy language to learn, and I am already half-fluent in it from living in San Antonio

Answer 2

I really doubt trump will win since he will lose most of the independents, but if you really know the candidates well he's actually better than Cruz winning. It's just scary the two worst candidates are the front runners. At any rate no president will inspire me to leave my home voluntarily. Central America is plagued with much worse issues that just seem better because you never had to live with them.

Answer 3

I don't have plans to leave if Trump wins (but I'm hoping Bernie wins). If I was going to leave I might avoid central America until they get a handle on the Zika virus problem.

At my age, I would probably die there, which is OK with me.

Answer 5

I'm calling shenanigans. You're not going anywhere if Trump wins because you don't have the money to relocate to another city, much less another country.

Answer 6

If people didn't exit during the Obama debacle, people aren't going anywhere! If anything, if a lunatic like Bernie gets elected, anyone who actually works hard and makes good money (including the middle class) will be looking for somewhere to run.

Answer 7

Easier said than done. It's not easy to immigrate to another country no matter which one that is...unless you claim refugee status like the Syrians, that is.



And really, if Trump becomes president, there's no country that will be safe.

Answer 8

I am leaving if Hillary wins. Going to Ireland probably because I only speak English. Some countries dont want older resident immigrants who are not rich.

Answer 9

I am not leaving the country no matter who wins. I am voting for anybody running against the Democrats.

Answer 10

i have actually said this to my husband, half-joking. realistically, we can't move, but i'm definitely going to hide my head in shame through the process.
