The face of someone inflicted with TDS.
Earlier this year Ellen DeGeneres confirmed that she moved to the UK because of the re-election of President Donald Trump. She was in the UK at the time of the election and said the following this past July:
“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 said. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.’”
CNN also reported the following:
DeGeneres went on to enthuse about the English countryside to the crowd in Cheltenham, saying, “It’s absolutely beautiful,” the BBC reported. “We’re just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. The villages and the towns and the architecture – everything you see is charming and it’s just a simpler way of life.”
“It’s clean. Everything here is just better – the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here,”
Fast-forward a year and she has decided that apparently not everything is better in the UK. From the Daily Mail:
“Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi are reportedly planning to head back home to the United States after living in the English countryside for the last year.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Ms. DeGeneres has told friends she and Ms. de Rossi are planning to spend more time in sunny California because they ‘miss their friends’ and dread the thought of another British winter.
A source said: ‘Ellen was adamant that she and Portia were going to stay in the UK while Trump was in the White House, but evidently she’s changed her mind somewhat.
‘She’s been telling friends they are coming home soon because they miss them and can’t take the winters over there, and Portia wants to act again. They will be here for the holidays and longer by the sound of it.’
The source said: ‘Ellen was very clear that they’re coming back to California sooner rather than later. They miss the warm weather and their friends.’

I give Ellen some credit for at least she left as she said she would, unlike the many other celebrities who threatened to leave if Trump was president and then never did leave. Alas, it was not a permanent situation.
