Former Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens celebrated President-elect Donald Trump’s 2024 victory with a blunt message for Americans who previously said they’d leave the U.S. if Trump won. “Whoever said ‘I’m leaving America if Trump wins’… don’t let the door hit you in the a— on the way out,” Clemens posted on X, sharing his strong support for Trump and his frustration with critics of the election results.
Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young award winner, called Trump’s win a “massive” victory for the nation, highlighting his pride in Americans who supported Trump. He praised prominent figures like Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Vice President-elect JD Vance, and “the people” for their role in Trump’s success, declaring, “I’m most proud of the people. We did it!”
Who ever said “I’m leaving America if Trump wins” … don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. 🇺🇸

Clemens’ message arrives amid backlash from celebrities and public figures disappointed by Trump’s return to the White House. During Trump’s initial run, figures like Whoopi Goldberg, Amy Schumer, and Bryan Cranston vowed to leave the U.S. if he were elected, although none ultimately followed through. This time, while some celebrities expressed anger, few echoed similar threats to leave.
