Last November, liberal comedian put her money where her mouth is and packed her bags and left her life in the U.S. behind because of the election of President Donald Trump.
At the time, it was reported that the former daytime talk show host and comedian moved into a home in rural England with her wife Portia De Rossi following Trump’s victory.

“Ellen was in England house hunting in the beginning of October,” a source told People when the celebrity couple first moved.
“She ended up finding a house that she loved and purchased it shortly after.”
Shortly after news of the couple’s move broke, the two were spotted out with a group of friends at The Farmer’s Dog in the Cotswolds, a countryside region in England.
So how is DeGeneres handling her post-Trump life in England?
According to her… not so well!
In a recent Instragam post, DeGeneres is struggling to handle day-to-day chores in England. Perhaps something she never had to tackle in the United States.
A recent Instagram video posted by the former talk show host shows DeGeneres attempting to mow the lawn at her new home in the U.K. in a video shot by de Rossi.
“Portia thought it would be fun to film my first time on the mower,” DeGeneres wrote in the caption. “She was right.”
The video starts off with DeGeneres on a ride-on mower successfully mowing a small flat portion of her lawn, with the words “How it started” written on the screen.
In the next clip, DeGeneres struggled to drive the lawn mower up a hill, and the on-screen caption changed to “How it ended.” The video showed DeGeneres sitting on the mower as someone assists her by pushing the machine from the back.
De Rossi can be heard struggling to hold back her laughter from behind the camera as she recorded the whole ordeal.
This is hard to watch:
Another liberal Hollywood elitist, Rosie O’Donnell, who also left the U.S. after Trump’s victory, shared that she was “shocked” to find out the reason DeGeneres chose to flee the country.
“I’ve never really known Ellen to say anything political in her life, so I was surprised to read that she left because of President Trump. Like, that shocked me, actually,” O’Donnell said.
“I’ve been a political person my whole life. Not better or worse. It’s just a different way to be in the world.
“I was very clear about the reason why I was leaving, and I don’t think it came as a surprise to anyone. We’re not really in each other’s worlds, and it’s been kind of awkward, but you know what? I wish her the best. I wish that she has peace and love in her life and that she is OK.”
