Donald Trump Jr. has mocked the celebrities who vowed 18 months ago to move to Canada if his father became President as he wished the United States a happy Independence Day.

The President's eldest son took to Instagram on Tuesday to post a meme of Kermit the Frog ahead of the July 4th holiday that took aim at those who have been critical of Trump.

The meme features the Muppet character drinking tea with the message: 'Gonna be a lot of people celebrating the 4th who said they were moving to Canada a while ago'.

In his own caption, Don Jr wrote: 'Happy Birthday American (sic) and very special 4th of July wishes to all those celebrities who said they were moving to Canada 18 months ago but are are amazingly all still here. ‬#july4th #fourthofjuly.'

Among the celebrities who said they would pack up and leave the US were Lena Dunham, Chelsea Handler, Raven-Symoné, Barbra Streisand and Bryan Cranston.

Their promise, or threats, to flee came in the lead up to the election. But when Trump beat Hillary Clinton, many changed their tune or simply remained quiet.

'I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will. I know a lovely place in Vancouver and I can get my work done from there,' Girls creator Lena Dunham said in 2016.

Soon after the election, Dunham back-tracked saying: 'It's easy to joke about moving to Canada. It's harder to live, fully and painfully aware of the injustice surrounding us, to cherish and fear your country all at once. But I'm willing to try.'

Meanwhile actress Raven-Symoné said she would 'move to Canada with my entire family' if a Republican won the presidential election. She also didn't move from the US.

On the night of the election and in the days that followed, Canada's immigration website crashed repeatedly.

The official website, which contains information on how to emigrate and obtain citizenship, experienced a series of outages presumably because of a high volume of traffic.

Canada experienced a 13 percent increase from 2015 to 2016 of Americans applying for permanent residency. That figure remained stable when Trump became President in 2017.

The largest increase came from refugees in the US who were crossing over the border at remote locations after Trump took office. Royal Canadian Mounted Police figures showed they found 18,615 migrants trying to cross over into Canada in 2017 compared to 2,464 the year prior.
