John Legend: Americans may have to think about leaving country if Trump reelected

This video cannot be played because of a technical error. (Error Code: 100000) Pop star John Legend says Americans might "have to start thinking about going somewhere else" if President Trump wins reelection.

"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," the "All of Me" singer said in an interview published this week with Cosmopolitan UK.

"If America chooses to be that place then people will have to start thinking about going somewhere else. It is truly disturbing and concerning," the musician, who's part of the EGOT club, said.

Legend, along with his cookbook-author wife Chrissy Teigen, have been outspoken critics of Trump. Legend, 41, performed at last month's Democratic National Convention and is a vocal supporter of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

ADVERTISEMENT Trump has called Legend "boring," and referred to Teigen as the performer's "filthy-mouthed wife."

Legend said he's "not nervous" about the November election because he believes the country is "exhausted" by Trump's presidency and "the daily efforts to destroy democracy and the free press."

But, Legend says, he thinks about leaving the U.S. "every once in awhile" if Trump was to remain in office.

John, we’re still waiting on all the celebrities that promised to leave in 2016 if Trump won.

The people who don’t like Trump are free to leave now. Avoid the rush later.

Not Americans John, pedophiles like you and your wife may feel need to join Tom Hanks in Greece, but for us regular old non-kid-diddling Americans, we’ll be just fine right here.

John, please GO. Impress all your Hollywood “friends”. Show everybody how it’s done.
Oh, be sure to take The Missus with you!
She’s almost as annoying as you are.
