Donald Trump became the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms after Grover Cleveland.

Before the 2016 election, Amy Schumer told BBC Newsnight she thought about moving out of the U.S. if Donald Trump successfully became the president.

"My act will change because I will need to learn to speak Spanish because I will move to Spain or somewhere. It's beyond my comprehension if Trump won. It's just too crazy," said Schumer.

Streisand also spoke highly of President Joe Biden and his administration at the time, saying she "likes" the current head of the country.

"I think he's done a good job. I think he's compassionate, he's smart, he supports the right things," she told Stephen Colbert.

Springsteen added, "If Trump is reelected — which he will not be; I'm predicting right now he's gonna lose — if by some happenstance he should be, I'll see you on the next plane."
