User seeks to depart U.S. due to Trump presidency.
Sandy Mölling, vocalist for the No-Angels band, announces her return to Germany after a decade in the United States. The 44-year-old is currently relocating from California following political disagreements, particularly the re-election of President Donald Trump.
In an interview with the Fuldaer Zeitung, Mölling expressed her concerns over the current political climate in the US. She noted the detrimental effects of tariffs on small businesses, book bannings, the restriction of rights for the LGBTQ community, the widespread dissemination of misinformation, and the persistent rise of racism.
Mölling's son, who has dark skin, has experienced racism in his young life. She emphasized that this is a systemic issue, drawing parallels to the experiences of African Americans in the US just a few decades ago.
Regarding the state of California, Mölling acknowledged a sense of isolation, despite some resistance to Trump's policies. She observed the widening gap between the rich and the poor, with few middle-class residents remaining.
While specific issues involving Mölling and California residents directly related to the Trump administration's policies might not be extensively covered, during the 2017-2021 administration, numerous concerns were raised among California residents, including immigration enforcement policies, environmental regulations rollbacks, healthcare changes, and federal-state disputes over topics such as climate change and sanctuary city policies. However, these issues do not directly connect to Mölling or the current year of 2025.
