We’re Out: Black Americans Leaving the Country Before Trump Takes Office
NBC News ^ | January 18, 2017 | Pamela K. Johnson

As this administration draws to a close, Audrey Edwards is packing as fast as the Obamas.

By January 20, Inauguration Day, she'll be nearly 6,000 miles away from Brooklyn not watching the festivities in Paris.

A journalist and real estate agent, she first got the idea to leave the US when former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani ran for president in 2008. But when Trump rode down that gilded escalator, called Mexicans rapists, and announced his candidacy for Commander-in-Chief, Edwards put friends on notice:

"If somebody as crazy as this guy gets in, I'm out of here."

She plans to spend a good deal of the next four years traveling with New York as home base. Her first stop is the City of Lights, where she spent three months in 2008, after three people close to her died in the course of a year....

She said she'll keep NYC as her "base", so she is simply taking a nice vacation.

Must be quite wealthy.

This story is about the lamest "sob story" I've ever read.

She should take a few dozen of her friends with her when she goes! The country will be much better off once the weak, narcissistic, gullible crybabies are gone.

She’s traveling. If she gets raped by a muslim in Paris she’ll wish she was back in Trump’s America.

May 21, 1927. Today Charles "Unlucky" Lindbergh crashed into the Atlantic and is presumed dead after loading his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, with only 450 gallons of fuel, enough to travel about 3600 miles.

Sorry, m'FRiend, but you are in error.. this minute, I hold both US and Panamanian citizenship. Both legally and lengthily acquired, I assure you.

Had Hitlery won, I should have renounced US citizenship and become a full-time resident of Panama.. Now,I've a dilemma; fortunately, there's no deadline for the decision. If Mr. Trump looks like keeping his promises, I'll return. If not, I'll think some more.

Just FYI, renouncing US citizenship now costs approx. $2500 and takes some months of bureaucratic delay. In return, one becomes exempt forever fr/FATCA, FBAR, and a host of other things, including both taxes and filing the forms.

FReegards!

See, Trump’s first policy of “Throwing Out the Trash” is working. Only 60 M idiots to go.

Two of the four people mentioned left durinjg the OBAMA administration, and the other two were already world travelers who now plan to spend more time out of the country.

Whoop-de-doo.

Must be nice to have the ind of money that allows you to live that kind of lifestyle.

Spoiled, rich, entitlement-minded loser.

She’s “outta here” because of Trump’s victory, but will still be using NYC as her home base? That’s a cop out. She’s just another bloviating BS artist, IMHO. If you say you’re going to leave, then LEAVE. And good riddance!

I invite the Snowflake libs to move someplace like the Honduran beaches.

Within weeks of their political agitation beginning, they will be headless. Literally...
