Is Lena Dunham a covert Trump supporter?
Lena Dunham, the talentless, plain, corpulent exhibitionist whose low-rated HBO show keeps getting renewed, is offering Americans an incentive to vote for Donald Trump. Caitlin Yilek of The Hill reports:
Lena Dunham is the latest celebrity to say she’ll hightail it out of the country if Donald Trump is elected president.
“I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will,” Dunham told Andy Cohen at the Matrix Awards on Monday.
“I know a lovely place in Vancouver and I can get my work done from there.”
Vancouver is a scenic, if rainy, city with a substantial film industry, so I strongly encourage Dunham. I am sure the stratospheric housing prices there will be no obstacle to her. For around $2 million, she could get this fire-damaged house that went on the market recently, though it will take considerable work before it is safe to enter:
If Dunham considers herself pretty enough to merit nude scenes, perhaps this is what she means by a "lovely" place.
Donald Trump appreciates the irony of Dunham’s commitment, as reported by Nick Gass of Politico:
Not only would Donald Trump not mind if certain celebrities flee the United States upon his election, the Republican front-runner said Tuesday that their opposition to his candidacy only increases his will to win.
During a telephone interview with "Fox & Friends," Trump was asked about a tweet from Lena Dunham on Monday in which she vowed to leave the U.S. for Vancouver if he is elected president.
Trump's response: "Well, she's a B-actor. You know, she has no — you know, no mojo."
"I heard Whoopi Goldberg too. That would be a great thing for our country," Trump said, as the show flashed a graphic of celebrities who it said would leave the U.S. for Canada, including Dunham, Jon Stewart, and Rosie O'Donnell, with whom the Manhattan real-estate mogul has feuded for years.
When co-host Steve Doocy pointed out that O'Donnell's name on the list, Trump remarked, "Now I have to get elected."
On the other hand, what has Canada ever done to us (aside from the War of 1812) to merit such treatment?
