Arnold Schwarzenegger sets record straight on leaving the United States

Schwarzenegger has been one of the few Republicans to have criticised Trump. Arnold Schwarzenegger has called out “fake news” speculating that the actor and former governor of California is going to leave the United States as Donald Trump starts his second presidency.
Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th US president on Monday (January 20) and is expected to call for a “revolution in common sense” in his address to the nation. The 78-year-old, who has made dozens of “enemies” since he turned to politics, can count Arnold Schwarzenegger amongst those who disagree with him, having previously clashed with the actor and bodybuilder.
Schwarzenegger, who backed Kamala Harris for the presidency in November’s election, has now quashed “fake news” about his status in the United States, spread by a pro-Trump account on X/Twitter. The Terminator star shared a post which said: “Arnold Schwarzenegger announces he will leave America: ‘I’m tired of Trump’s nonsense.’”.
Schwarzenegger swiftly debunked this claim, stating: “Don’t believe fake news. I was born in Austria, but I was made in America, and I’d never leave.”. After lending his support to Harris during the election campaign, Schwarzenegger has responded to those who are “respectfully” disagreeing with his presidential endorsement.
The Terminator star, whose credits also include True Lies and Predator, wrote: “My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.”.
