Barbra Streisand admitted Tuesday that she’s “thinking about” making a move to Canada if Republicans keep the House and Democrats fail to take it away from them. “I want to sleep nights. If we take the House, I’ll be able to sleep a little bit better,” the 76-year-old singer shared with the New York Times when asked about how she was “feeling these days.” (RELATED: Barbra Streisand Rips Donald Trump) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Barbra Streisand (@barbrastreisand) on Oct 18, 2018 at 8:35am PDT And then if the Democrats don’t she said she might “move to Canada.” “Don’t know. I’ve been thinking about, do I want to move to Canada? I don’t know,” the “Funny Girl” singer explained. I’m just so saddened by this thing happening to our country.” Streisand added, “It’s making me fat. I hear what [President Donald Trump] said now, and I have to go eat pancakes now, and pancakes are very fattening. We make them with healthy flour, though — almond flour, coconut flour.” It wasn’t the first time the “Evergreen” hit maker blamed Trump for her gaining weight. “Donald Trump is making me gain weight. I start the day with liquids, but after the morning news, I eat pancakes smothered in maple syrup!” Streisand tweeted in March to her thousands of followers. Donald Trump is making me gain weight. I start the day with liquids, but after the morning news, I eat pancakes smothered in maple syrup! — Barbra Streisand (@BarbraStreisand) March 5, 2017 Before the 2016 election, the “Star Is Born” actress also claimed she was thinking about moving to Australia or Canada if Trump won the White House. “I worry,” Streisand explained. “I don’t take anything for granted. I want Hillary Clinton to be President of the United States.” “But there is still a lot of sexism, and ‘a woman being president,'” she added. “You know, and making fun of her, the way [Trump] insults her right and left, and has no facts. I can’t believe it. I’m either coming to [Australia], if you’ll let me in, or Canada.”<doc-sep>Barbra Streisand is considering heading north if Tuesday's midterm elections favor the Republican party. The outspoken Democrat Streisand, 76, told the New York Times that she is fervently hoping her party takes control of the House of Representatives. If the Republicans keep the House, she mulled drastic action. "I’ve been thinking about, do I want to move to Canada? I don’t know," Streisand said, targeting President Donald Trump. "I’m just so saddened by this thing happening to our country. It’s making me fat. I hear what he said now, and I have to go eat pancakes now, and pancakes are very fattening." Streisand gets outright political in the new album "Walls," due out Friday, which features a medley of John Lennon’s “Imagine." One track already released, “Don’t Lie to Me,” is a direct address to the current resident of the Oval Office. More:Streisand to Trump in new song: Don't lie to me! She channeled her anger musically. "I would lie awake at night with Trump’s outrages running through my head, and I had to do another album for Columbia Records, so I thought, why not make an album about what’s on my mind? And that became the title of the first song," said Streisand. The singer, who couldn't come up with one positive thing Trump has done during his presidency, said she takes issue with the President's propensity for spreading falsehoods. "Truth has always worked for me, so to see the truth defiled every day is very, very painful for me," said Streisand. "I only can do what I can do. I probably will turn a lot of people off." Trump is apparently a Streisand admirer as well. While editing her last Netflix concert special, she noticed Trump in the audience sitting next to Barbara Walters. "But he never came backstage to see me or meet me," said Streisand. "So I never met him."<doc-sep>Barbra Streisand has threatened to move to Canada once more if Republicans win the majority House vote in the midterm elections next week. The 76-year-old singer made the remarks while speaking to The New York Times this week. 'I’ve been thinking about, do I want to move to Canada? I don’t know. I’m just so saddened by this thing happening to our country,' Streisand said in the interview. 'I want to sleep nights... if we take the House I’ll be able to sleep a little bit better,' she said, while adding that the current state of America is making her 'fat'. Streisand, who has been a vocal critic of President Trump, previously said she would make the move if he won the 2016 election - but the plans unsurprisingly never fell through. Barbra Streisand has threatened again to move to Canada if Republicans win the majority House vote in the midterm elections next week The actress said her feelings towards the president have influenced her new album, Walls She told the Hollywood Reporter at the time: 'He has no facts. I don't know, I can't believe it. I'm either coming to your country [Australia], if you'll let me in, or Canada.' And just last week, The Star is Born actress branded President Trump 'a conman'. Streisand said she thinks the only thing the former Apprentice star is good at is 'marketing' and selling himself in an interview with The Guardian on Friday. She ranted: 'I can't bear the man! He's a man with no manners! He doesn't see his own flaws; he doesn't know what he doesn't know. You know? He has no humility.' 'He's good at marketing. He knows how to sell; he's a conman. That's what he's good at. But he doesn't think he needs anyone's help, he thinks he can go it alone.' Her feelings towards the president have influenced her new album, Walls, but she was careful not to mention him by name so as not to alienate listeners. She explained during the interview: 'You have to write lyrics that can be more than just a protest. 'They have to appeal to a universal audience. Even when I wrote Don't Lie to Me, at first I thought, well, I could make you think it's like a love affair, a marriage breaking up. It's a universal thought: don't lie to me.' The Academy Award-winning actress went on to accuse the US leader of 'reversing reality' and branded him 'stupid' and 'ill informed'.

The president is known for hitting out at his critics on Twitter, but Streisand doesn't mind if she's his next target. She said: 'I know that's a possibility. Maybe he doesn't think I'm powerful enough. I've seen him in the film of people in my audience ... maybe he's a big fan! 'I don't know. That's the chance you take. Whatever. The country is more important to me at this point than whether my album sells. 'I'm sure Don't Lie to Me turns off a lot of people who are Republicans or rightwingers.

Barbra Streisand is once again thinking about leaving the United States for political reasons. In a Tuesday interview with The New York Times, the 76-year-old star admitted that she's considering moving to Canada if the Democrats don't win a majority in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections next week. "I want to sleep nights, if we take the House I’ll be able to sleep a little bit better," Streisand told the outlet, adding that if they don't take control she's been "thinking about" a potential move. "I’ve been thinking about, do I want to move to Canada? I don’t know. I’m just so saddened by this thing happening to our country." "It’s making me fat," she continued. "I hear what he said now, and I have to go eat pancakes now, and pancakes are very fattening. We make them with healthy flour, though — almond flour, coconut flour." Before the 2016 election, the singer-actress also spoke about emigrating because of Trump. "He has no facts. I don't know, I can't believe it. I'm either coming to your country [Australia], if you'll let me in, or Canada," she said according to The Hollywood Reporter. Last month, Streisand released her first album since 2005, "Walls," which contains a track that directly speaks to President Trump and voices her distaste for what his administration is doing to America and the world at large. “I just went ballistic,” she told The Associated Press at the time. BARBRA STREISAND'S NEW SONG 'DON'T LIE TO ME' DIRECTLY SKEWERS DONALD TRUMP: 'I JUST WENT BALLISTIC' The track titled “Don’t Lie to Me" contains lyrics aimed at Trump such as: “How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?/All that we built has come undone/How do you sleep when the world is burning?/Everyone answers to someone." "I just can't stand what's going on," the Oscar, Grammy and Emmy winner continued. "His assault on our democracy, our institutions, our founders — I think we're in a fight. ... We're in a war for the soul of America." Fox News' Tyler McCarthy and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
