Donald Trump Fine With Lena Dunham Moving To Canada

By Ned Ehrbar

(CBS NEWS/AP) – "Girls" star Lena Dunham's threats of emigrating to Canada if Donald Trump wins the 2016 presidential election are falling on deaf ears, apparently -- at least when it comes to Trump himself.

Dunham, a longtime Hillary Clinton supporter and Golden Globe Winner has made her dislike of Trump clear before, she wasn't mincing her words this time around.

"I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will," Dunham said Monday of moving to Canada in the event of a Trump win in November. "I know a lovely place in Vancouver and I can get my work done from there."

When Trump was alerted to the comments during a "Fox & Friends" interview on Tuesday, though, he didn't seem too worried -- quite the opposite, actually.

"Well, she's a B actor and has no mojo," Trump said. "I heard Whoopi Goldberg said that, too. That would be a great, great thing for our country if she got out."

He also warmly mentioned the prospect of Rosie O'Donnell leaving the country. "Now I have to get elected because I'll be doing a great service to our country," he said.
