John Legend and Chrissy Teigen considered leaving the USA because of Donald Trump
From Cosmopolitan
John Legend and Donald Trump have made no secret of their feelings for one other in the past. Last year Trump took to Twitter to call John "boring", after the singer apparently failed to credit him for passing a criminal justice bill.
In response, John called the US President "petty and narcissistic" in an interview with the Evening Standard. Now, in an interview with Cosmopolitan, John has described Trump's leadership as "embarrassing" and said that he and his wife Chrissy Teigen have even considered leaving America because of him.
"Every once in a while you think about it," the singer told us. "We were born and raised here, all of our families are here. It would be hard to leave. But I don’t know what one’s supposed to do when you have a leader who is trying to destroy democracy."
John, who is expecting his third child with Chrissy,
added, "At some point, if that project [to destroy democracy] was to be
in any way successful, you’d have to think about going somewhere that
is a true democracy, that has respect for the rule of law and human
rights.
"If America chooses to be that place then people will have to start thinking about going somewhere else. It is truly disturbing and concerning."
John's comments come as the US presidential election on 3rd November draws closer. It will decide whether Trump is elected for a second term. His opponent is Democrat Joe Biden.

....musician @johnlegend, and his filthy mouthed wife, are talking now about how great it is - but I didn’t see them around when we needed help getting it passed. “Anchor”@LesterHoltNBC doesn’t even bring up the subject of President Trump or the Republicans when talking about....
