Few candidates in the history of American politics have been quite as loathed or loved as Donald Trump.

As landslide victories have mounted and political momentum has steadily grown, the Republican presidential frontrunner has continued to divide political opinion in America.

This raises the inevitable question of what happens if, against all previous odds, Trump wins the 2016 election and later becomes the 45th president of the United States.

Believe it or not, some prominent figures are so terrified by the prospect of the billionaire property mogul becoming president that they have said they will move abroad.

Here is a selection of eight people who have said they will jump ship if the former reality TV star gains power:

Three of the most vocal Trump opponents include:

Miley Cyrus

After Trump won the Republican nomination in seven out of 11 states on Super Tuesday, Miley Cyrus became the latest person to announce her desire to leave the US.

“God’ he thinks he is the f***ing chosen one or some shit! […] Honestly f*** this sh*t I am moving if this is my president! I don’t say things I don’t mean!” the 23-year-old said in a tearful Instagram post.

Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg also expressed her desire to leave if Trump makes it in but didn’t say where she would go.

“I don’t think that’s America. I don’t want it to be America. Maybe it’s time for me to move, you know”

Samuel L. Jackson

The legendary American actor was more specific about where he was keen to go.

“If that mother**er becomes president, I’m moving my black ass to South Africa.”
