As the reality of a Donald Trump presidency sinks in,Peter Baumgartner many folks are making frantic plans to flee it.

Canada's immigration website crashed as news of Donald Trump's victory arrived, and a surge of Californians are calling for their state's succession online.

But NBA player Metta World Peace reminded all of those Trump fearers that running from problems won't solve them.

The Los Angeles Lakers small forward, who in 2011 legally changed his name from Ron Artest, gave them a pep talk on Wednesday morning, calling on Americans to stay and help fix the issues they're trying to escape.

It's amazing to see the millions of people that are giving up on their own lives today. Snap out of it. Be the change you want!

This is coming from a guy whose actualname contains "World Peace," by the way.

Maybe that makes him the quintessential voice of reason right now for scared Americans.
