Top 10 Countries to Move to if Donald Trump Is Elected

Jordana Weiss | October 28, 2016

If you’ve been reading the news lately, you can probably tell that there’s very little likelihood that Donald Trump will be elected President. At the time of writing, Trump (thankfully) had a mere 12.5% chance of being elected to the highest office in the land, according to popular election blog FiveThirtyEight.

However, stranger things have happened, and many countries around the world have capitalized on the situation to encourage American tourists to at least visit their countries, dangling the possibility of a move there if Trump is elected. So why not hedge your bets?

Here are a few countries that are some of the happiest in the world, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Check them out, so you can fuel your wanderlust and quell your election fatigue at the same time.

Canada

Our neighbor to the north is larger geographically, but much smaller in terms of population — Canada’s population of roughly 36 million is about 9 times smaller than the current population of the United States. This means plenty of space, and resources for everyone.

Canada also has publicly funded healthcare — something that Trump has criticized in the past. But honestly, who doesn’t like free doctor’s visits? Sure, the system can be slow, but it doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg just to fix your arm or your leg.

Canada also has the benefit of being a much safer place to live — there were a mere 505 homicides in Canada last year, versus over 12,000 in the same year in the United States. Plus, if you move to Canada, it’s just a quick trip for your friends and family to come visit.
