People: degeneres about moving to Trump’s election victory: “Everything better”

US presenter Ellen Degeneres spoke about her move to Great Britain after the second election victory of US President Donald Trump. At an event on Sunday in Cheltenham in Southwestern English, the 67-year-old confirmed to the British broadcaster BBC that she had moved to England with her wife because of Trump.

Accordingly, Degeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi had previously bought a house in England, where they only wanted to spend three to four months a year. “We came here the day before the election and woke up because we got a lot of news from our friends with crying emojis, and I thought: He did it,” BBC quoted the US comedian. “And we said:” We stay here. “” She said that people in America could be afraid of “being as they are”.

In England, “everything is just better”, Degeneres raved on according to the BBC. “The way animals are treated,” she said. And people are more polite. She saw snow for the first time in her life last winter. “We love it here. Portia flew her horses here, I have chickens and we had sheep for about two weeks.” On Instagram, the moderator gives insights into her new life in the country and shared videos there, among other things, in which she scolds her disobedient sheep.

Degeneres moderated her own daily NBC talk show “The Ellen Degeneres Show” for around 20 years. She has been lined with the “Ally McBeal” actress de Rossi since 2004 and has been married to her since 2008.

After Trump’s second election victory last November, other celebrities Hollywood had also turned their backs. The comedian Rosie O’donnell moved to Ireland.
