"Red-tied Trump and Vance's UK Vacation Spree: Donald Trump and JD Vance causing discomfort to Ellen DeGeneres this summer in Britain"
In a surprising turn of events, two influential figures from across the Atlantic have found a new home in the picturesque Cotswolds region of England. Ellen DeGeneres and JD Vance, both disillusioned with the political climate in the United States, have made the Cotswolds their permanent or temporary residence.
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, moved to the Cotswolds in November 2024, a direct response to the US election. Feeling disheartened by the election outcome, they abandoned their Californian lifestyle in pursuit of a quieter life in the English countryside. DeGeneres revealed that Trump's re-election was a significant factor in their decision to relocate.
Similarly, JD Vance, along with his wife Usha and their three young children, are expected to rent a cottage in the Cotswolds in August. Vance, like DeGeneres, seems to be part of a broader trend of American celebrities and politicians seeking refuge or a change of environment in the British countryside, possibly as a response to the 2024 US election.
Notably, Donald Trump also visited Scotland this week, marking his return to the country for the opening of a new golf course at his estate in Aberdeenshire. Trump's visit to the UK is not just a leisurely one, as he is set to enter trade talks with EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Trump's schedule includes a meeting with Sir Keir and Scotland's First Minister John Swinney on Monday.
The Cotswolds, known for its charming villages and rolling hills, has become a popular holiday destination for celebrities, including the Beckhams. The region's tranquil atmosphere and picturesque landscapes seem to offer a stark contrast to the turbulence of US politics, making it an attractive option for those seeking a change.
In a somewhat ironic twist, former Prime Minister David Cameron also resides in the Cotswolds, adding another layer of political intrigue to the area. As Trump prepares for an unprecedented second state visit to the UK in September, the Cotswolds seems poised to become a hotspot for political and celebrity encounters.
