It entirely depends on how bad a Trump presidency turns out to be.

If you hold him to his campaign promises, at least 11 million Americans will leave.



Campaign promises are made to get elected, not to be kept. Given Trump's tendency to speak, shall we say, "freely", he is likely to be a much more moderate president than his campaign promises would suggest. Not that that is saying very much, but I think much of the panic and disbelief surrounding a Trump win arises from taking his words too seriously and too literally.


All I can say is that if your hope for a politician hinges on him not doing what he's expressly said he plans to do many times, that's a terrifying situation to be in.


It will be interesting to see if people leave specially if announcements were made on FB/Twitter. The convenience of online medium and harshness of offline life can't be beat.


They'll try, but I don't think very many countries will be interested in taking them.
