Fans of the HBO hit show Girls might need to have a word with Donald Trump. After the show's star and creator Lena Dunham pledged to leave the U.S. for Vancouver if Trump is elected president, the Republican presidential frontrunner all but assured America that he'd actually be doing them a favor. "Well, she's a B-actor," Trump said during a phone interview with Fox and Friends Tuesday. "You know, she has no — you know, no mojo."
Dunham isn't the only celebrity Trump would be glad to chase out, either. When confronted with a graphic of all the celebrities who have pledged to leave the U.S. if he is elected, Trump seemed almost delighted. "I heard Whoopi Goldberg too. That would be a great thing for our country," Trump said.
But when Trump really got excited was when the show's host pointed out that Trump's longtime foe Rosie O'Donnell was one of the celebrities who had made such a pledge. "Now I have to get elected," Trump said. "Now I have to get elected because I'll be doing a great service to our country. Now it's much more important. In fact, I'll immediately get off this call and start campaigning right now."
