After Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential race, former Yankees star Roger Clemens directed a message to those who previously said they’d leave the country if Trump won. Clemens posted on X, stating, “Whoever said ‘I’m leaving America if Trump wins’… don’t let the door hit you in the a— on the way out.” His blunt comment shows his continued support for Trump and his frustration with those critical of the outcome.
Clemens described Trump’s win as “massive” for the nation and expressed pride in Americans who voted for him. He also thanked influential figures like Tesla’s Elon Musk and Vice President-elect JD Vance, commending their roles in supporting Trump’s campaign. “I’m most proud of the people. We did it!” Clemens wrote, highlighting his appreciation for the victory.
Who ever said “I’m leaving America if Trump wins” … don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. 🇺🇸

The comments from Clemens bring back memories of the 2016 election when several celebrities threatened to leave the U.S. if Trump won, including Whoopi Goldberg and Amy Schumer. However, none of these celebrities ultimately left, leaving some Trump supporters skeptical about similar claims this election cycle.
Clemens’ stance aligns with other athletes who have shown support for Trump, such as UFC’s Dana White, NFL’s Nick Bosa, and former MLB pitcher Greg Swindell. Their public backing demonstrates Trump’s broad appeal across different spheres, including sports. This cross-over support highlights the shared values among Trump supporters in various fields.

As one of the MLB’s greatest pitchers, Clemens has earned a reputation that remains strong despite allegations of performance-enhancing drug use, which have kept him out of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Known as “The Rocket,” Clemens has remained an influential figure and continues to make his voice heard on political topics.
For Trump supporters, Clemens’ message to critics is a reminder of their confidence in the election’s outcome. His words resonate with those who feel that Trump’s victory marks a positive step forward. Clemens’ straightforward approach reflects the enthusiasm of Trump’s backers as they prepare for the upcoming term.
