We don’t track emigration statistics, so it’s hard to pin down trends. And international trends are tough to sift through because American immigrants don’t represent a significant number in most countries. It’s also likely that the polarized political extremes will offset. Like, if a bunch of racists left in 2008 when Obama was elected, they probably came home by the time Trump was elected, sending a roughly equivalent number seeking more progressive nations. And those outliers don’t amount to much compared to the number of immigrants that enter and leave the country every year under normal circumstances.
So even if we had numbers, you probably wouldn’t see spikes.
