A second wrote: Good. Always better for you to run than stay and fight for what you believe in.
While a third commented: I can’t believe we live in a world where Rosie O’Donnell has to flee from America for safety.
Another added: I’m happy for you and understand why you needed to go. I wish I could leave, too. I hope there will be a time when the light shines in the US again.
Someone else said: Make sure you leave all the millions you made from America in the US. The cash wasn’t so bad back then, was it? The rest of the world stays to help America and figure the hard stuff out. Your wealthy arrogance picks up and moves. Good riddance.
