“At some point, if that project [to destroy democracy] was to be in any way successful, you’d have to think about going somewhere that is a true democracy, that has respect for the rule of law and human rights,” he said.
“If America chooses to be that place then people will have to start thinking about going somewhere else. It is truly disturbing and concerning.”
Legend and his model wife Chrissy Teigen have both been outspoken about the president.
Trump has also shared his dislike of the couple, calling the singer “boring” and slamming Teigen as his “filthy-mouthed wife.”
Despite the couple being “born and raised here” and stating that “it would be hard to leave,” Legend said he doesn’t know “what one’s supposed to do when you have a leader who is trying to destroy democracy.”

However, it is unlikely that the couple will be moving anytime soon as they have just secured a newly built $17.5million Beverly Hills mansion.
The 10,700 square-foot property boasts six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, with a 100-foot infinity pool and 300-bottle wine cellar.
The couple bought the house after selling their $23.95million home back in August.
