Cher might not be "strong enough" to survive another Trump presidency.

In an interview with The Guardian released Wednesday, the "Believe" singer opened up about how "horrified" she'd feel if former President Donald Trump was once again re-elected.

“I almost got an ulcer the last time,” she told the outlet. “If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the country].”

The actress/musician is particularly concerned with what the future for trans people looks like.

“It’s something like 500 bills they’re trying to pass,” she told the publication. “I was with two trans girls the other night – and of course my own child [Chaz is trans]. I was saying ‘We’ve got to stand together.’ I don’t know what their eventual plan is for trans people. I don’t put anything past them.”

Cher has been a longtime critic of the 45th president calling him a "f---ing traitor" on X (formerly known as Twitter) in 2016 and saying in a 2018 interview with The Washington Post that he had done “so much damage” to America.

The pop legend, whose birth father was Armenian, also addressed the tensions between Armenians and Azerbaijan in her conversation with The Guardian, which she has been tweeting about lately as well. She began to identify strongly with her heritage once she took a trip years ago when she visited its capital, Yerevan.

"When I got there, I thought, ‘Wow, everybody looks like me! How could I not have strong feelings about this?’” she told the publication.

Cher is preparing to release her very first holiday albumChristmas — on Oct. 20.

The album is a 13-track project, which features collaborations with pals including Stevie Wonder and Cyndi Lauper, covers of classics like Chuck Berry’s “Run Rudolph Run” and original tracks such as the dance-pop single “DJ Play a Christmas Song."

"I wanted to make a Cher Christmas album," the entertainment legend told PEOPLE. "but I didn't know how to do it. I never could figure out a way. Then this year, I just asked the record company if they would just let me do it — and just hand the finished product over to them —and they were agreeable, so I started picking songs."

She added: "We did them one at a time, so what I realized is that I have a fun Christmas album that only has a couple of sad songs. I was really happy that it was eclectic, and it's really eclectic. I was proud of it myself."
