Love, 60, made the revelation during an appearance at the Royal Geographical Society in London, where she discussed her plans to become a UK citizen.

“I’m finally getting my British citizenship in six months. I get to be a citizen—I’m applying, man! Can’t get rid of me!” she told the audience.

The singer then directed her attention to Trump, launching into a tirade against his administration. She described his presidency as “emperor-core” and “frightening,” even likening it to “cyanide.”

“In terms of Trump, and particularly this group… it’s like emperor-core—like, [they’re] wearing million-dollar watches,” Love said.

“Emperor-core is going on at Mar-a-Lago. It’s frightening now. It’s like cyanide now,” she added.

Love joins a growing number of celebrities who have announced plans to leave the United States in response to Trump’s presidency.

Earlier this month, actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell confirmed she had moved to Ireland with her 12-year-old child, following through on a long-standing promise to leave the country under Trump.

“I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are,” O’Donnell said.

“You know, I’m happy. Clay is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends,” she continued.

“I miss many things about life there at home, and I’m trying to find a home here in this beautiful country, and when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back.”

Well, she did it. I at least have to give Rosie O’Donnell credit. She moved to Ireland. She at least followed through with her word and left the country.

Now waiting for all the other liberal hacks to leave like they promised.

Earlier this year, talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, also left the United States following Trump’s election victory.

As more Hollywood figures announce their departures, Trump has remained focused on his administration’s policy agenda, with no indication that the departure of celebrities will have any impact on his presidency.
