In an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Arnold Schwarzenegger said that he would be a great American president, but since he cannot run for president according to the law, he hopes that young talents will get the opportunity next time. During the interview, the Hollywood actor and former California governor made it clear that although he believes he would be a great fit for the Oval Office, he is not disappointed that he was excluded from the presidential race because of his Austrian heritage, as the position calls for. For natural candidates.
“I feel that I will be an excellent president,” he said, adding that “everything I accomplished was thanks to America.” He continued: “America has given me many opportunities, and the American people welcomed me with open arms. No one stopped me on my path to success.” “The only thing I can’t do is run for president, but I won’t complain about that.” Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger also admitted that it would be “selfish” for him to “change the law” and that US policy must change.

“I just hope America finds the right young people,” he said of the presidential election. “Because it’s a little strange to me that the competition now is between people in their 70s and 80s, rather than people born in the 40s and 50s or even younger having a chance at this great job.”
This was not the first time Schwarzenegger spoke publicly about American politics and the presidency. He told CNN’s Chris Wallace in June that he wanted to run for president in the next presidential election in 2024, and that he was confident he could get enough votes to win the highest office in the United States. “Put me in there, too,” he declared, “because it’s clear. I can clearly see how easily I could win that election.” “Like when he was elected governor of California. It was clear that people were looking for something new. Not a simple right-wing or left-wing politician, but someone who could unite the nation.” But for now, Schwarzenegger has to make do with Netflix’s CIA Agent, working day and night to entertain subscribers with his latest series, Foolishwhich debuted on May 25.
