I\u2019m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don\u2019t recognise our country. And you are right to be furious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-106f06m\">Schwarzenegger, who quit acting between 2003 and 2011 while he served in California, continued by writing that he was disappointed in all those who have been in power in the US over the past decades who have discussed addressing the national debt and \u201cour broken immigration system\u201d yet not managing to do so. This continued during election campaigning, he said, as politicians prefer \u201chaving talking points\u201d for elections rather than performing \u201cthe public service that will make Americans\u2019 lives better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-106f06m\">\u201cIt is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed,\u201d Schwarzenegger wrote. \u201cBut a candidate who won\u2019t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea \u2013 that won\u2019t solve our problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-106f06m\">Schwarzenegger, who replaced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/donaldtrump\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Donald Trump<\/a> as host of The New Celebrity Apprentice in 2016, has long been an outspoken critic of the former president and current Republican candidate. Schwarzenegger likened the 6 January attack on the Capitol to the Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany and described Trump as \u201ca failed leader. He will go down in history as the worst president ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-106f06m\">He returned to the aftermath of the 2020 election on X, saying that \u201crejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America [a] trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-106f06m\">Were Trump to be re-elected, he said, \u201cit will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-106f06m\">\u201cI want to move forward as a country,\u201d he concluded, \u201cand even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2024\/oct\/30\/arnold-schwarzenegger-endorses-kamala-harris-i-will-always-be-an-american-before-i-am-a-republican\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The former Republican governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced that he is backing Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in next week\u2019s election.
