The average citizen, the transgender daughter of President Donald Trump’s trump card, Elon Musk and now the star Eva Longoria… What they have in common: They are all terrified by the new face of the USA and have decided to run away: “I’m lucky to be able to escape this dystopie”, declared the actress, so she took the plunge without hesitation…
The decision is radical but it is made in the name of her safety and that of her family, at least that’s how she feels. It’s up to Trump and his team to prove otherwise. But things are off to a bad start, just yesterday, Friday, November 15, the Republican, intoxicated by his influence over all the workings of the country (Senate, Congress, etc.), pushed the envelope to the point of installing his own lawyers in key positions at the Ministry of Justice…
The president certainly did this so that they would rid him of his enormous legal burdens, which could earn him years in prison at the end of his mandate, at the age of 82, unheard of in the history of the country. Trump also did it to find an appointed successor in the event that elected officials block the appointment of Matt Gaetz as Minister of Justice, he who also has explosive trials on his heels, including one for alleged embezzlement of a minor.
This is Trump’s America and Eva Longoria has decided to flee it, like many members of the LGBTQIA+ community and people of color terrorized by an eruption of racism. The actress was born in Texas, she is of Hispanic origin but of American nationality. Of course she grew up between Mexico and Spain but spent “his entire adult life” in the United States. But she no longer recognizes her country…
“Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, things had started to change. Life was different. Then, Covid arrived, and it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Whether it’s the increase in homelessness or taxes, not that I’m criticizing California. I feel like this chapter of my life is over“, she confides.
“The shocking part isn’t that he won. It is that a convicted criminal, who spreads so much hatred, can find himself in the most important position (…). If he keeps his promises, America will become a terrifying place,” she asserts.
The actress adds that her anxiety began to rise after Trump’s first election, in 2016. “I asked myself, ‘Does my vote really count? Am I really making a difference?’ I was so detached, because I truly believed in my soul that the best person always wins. And then it happened, and I was like, “Oh, wait. The best person doesn’t always win.“, she said.
But this time it’s decided: she casts off, while rejoicing at having the “privilege” to be able to set sail. “I can escape. Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and I’m sad and anxious for all these people.“, declared the ex-wife of NBA star Tony Parker, a Franco-American who must be very happy to have established himself in France.
For Eva Longoria, the definitive departure will be all the less complicated as with her husband José Bastón and their 6-year-old son, Santiago, they already shared their time between Europe and South America, depending on the professional contingencies of the actress and her husband.
