Not only would Donald Trump not mind if certain celebrities flee the United States upon his election, the Republican front-runner said Tuesday that their opposition to his candidacy only increases his will to win.
During a telephone interview with "Fox & Friends," Trump was asked about a tweet from Lena Dunham on Monday in which she vowed to leave the U.S. for Vancouver if he is elected president.
Trump's response: "Well, she's a B-actor. You know, she has no — you know, no mojo."
"I heard Whoopi Goldberg too. That would be a great thing for our country," Trump said, as the show flashed a graphic of celebrities who it said would leave the U.S. for Canada, including Dunham, Jon Stewart, and Rosie O'Donnell, with whom the Manhattan real-estate mogul has feuded for years.
When co-host Steve Doocy pointed out that O'Donnell's name on the list, Trump remarked, "Now I have to get elected."
"Now I have to get elected because I'll be doing a great service to our country," he said. "Now it's much more important. In fact, I'll immediately get off this call and start campaigning right now."

I cannot argue with his points.
Love it. We have place celebrities on too high a pedestal in this society. Court Jesters used to be on the lower rungs of society and now people seek out their opinions on political matters.
Hillarious!
Trump will NOT back down. Go Trump!
“Americans will thank me when Lena Dunham flees to Canada”
LOL
spit out my coffee!
Trump’s the best.
While I agree that those people leaving would be a good improvement I do not think the President should be making comments like this.
Our government should only pick individuals out when its a positive.
Lena Dunham, Whoopi Goldberg, Miley Cyrus.... the list is getting longer and I can’t wait for them all to leave.
One more reason to vote for Trump.
Yeah, but it might be lousy for U.S. - Canadian relations.
BS.
These heinous ‘celebrities’ mock our values and our beliefs daily.
It’s time to point out that IF they say idiotic things about the president, it’s time to swing back.
That’s what America needs right now - a President that tells it like it is and isn’t afraid of a bit of backlash.
“Now I have to get elected because I’ll be doing a great service to our country,” he said. “Now it’s much more important. In fact, I’ll immediately get off this call and start campaigning right now.”
Lol, this is great!
It seems The Donald has been in a much better mood since NY. I think he’s sees an imminent victory.
yikes, stop that.
Good point. We send them our trash, they might not like it.
Yep, I don’t see what good comes from a presidential candidate who wants to wrestle with a pig....
She ATE the whole “Neighborhood”.
Maybe we can keep Justin Bieber and call it square, with the proviso that he must stay in California.
You are a very, very, bad man.
So you’re ok with the federal govt attacking individuals for their personal beliefs.
Kinda like Obama did with the Tea Party members.
So its ok to persecute people with the full weight of the federal govt as long as you like what the guy is saying.
Yep, you’re a conservative. /s
No, no, I suspect Justin Trudeau will welcome them with open arms. After all, it was those types of people that elected him to the PM post.
