After Donald Trump's victory in the elections for the second time, many Americans began to consider moving to Spain as a definitive solution. Thomas and Gustavo, an American couple, had already begun the residency process in Barcelona and owned an address in the city, although initially they considered the move as something provisional. However, after Thomas's parents' death, there was nothing left to hold them to the United States.
As the vote count confirmed Trump's victory, the couple became convinced that they should take the final step and establish themselves permanently in Spain. Thomas explained to EL PERIÓDICO that "when Trump came to power for the second time, it stopped being an idea and became a necessity."
The article presents Spain as a 'refuge' for Americans who do not want to return to their country while Trump remains in power. Thomas stated unequivocally: "As long as Trump stays, I'm not setting foot in the US," making it clear that the decision to move is not temporary, but rather a direct response to the American political situation.
