(NewsNation) — Jimmy Kimmel revealed that he obtained his Italian passport just in case he has to leave the country because of President Donald Trump.  

The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host appeared on Sarah Silverman's podcast on Aug. 7, where he shared the news.  

"A lot of people I know are thinking about where they can get citizenship," Silverman said, with Kimmel replying, "I did get Italian citizenship." 

"It's so much worse. It's just unbelievable. Like I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be," Kimmel told Silverman,

Kimmel said that he was able to obtain Italian citizenship because of his mother’s side of the family, according to The Los Angeles Times.  

The talk show host and comedian has routinely criticized the president for years, as well as his policies, even during his first term.  

Trump is no fan of Kimmel, having called him “stupid” and saying he would be next to lose his late-night show after CBS canceled “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”  

Jimmy Kimmel joins a list of comedians leaving U.S.

Ellen DeGeneres revealed in July that she and her wife, Portia de Rossi, moved to the United Kingdom due to Trump being reelected.  

“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in,’” she told a crowd at Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham, England, according to The Guardian. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.’” 

Shortly before Trump took office, Rosie O’Donnell, a vocal critic of the president, said she moved to Ireland with her 12-year-old daughter, The Hill reported.   

“I moved here on Jan. 15, and it’s been pretty wonderful. I have to say, the people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming, and I’m very grateful,” O’Donnell said in a TikTok video in March. “I’m in the process of getting my Irish citizenship, as I have Irish grandparents.”  

In a July 12 Truth Social post, Trump threatened to revoke O’Donnell’s U.S. citizenship, calling her a “threat to humanity.”
