Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former governor off California, is speaking out this week to claim that he “would make a great president” of the United States. Unfortunately for him, however, he can’t legally run for president since he was born in Austria, and the Constitution states that the leader of this country must be a natural-born citizen.

Schwarzenegger Thinks He’d ‘Make A Great President’
“I feel like I would make a great president,” Schwarzenegger, 76, told The BBC. “But I feel that, at the same time, everything I’ve accomplished was because of America.”
“America gave me so many opportunities and the American people were so embracive, and they just received me with open arms. There was no-one there that stopped me from my success,” he continued. “So the only thing that I can’t do, which is run for president, I’m not going to complain about that.”
However, Schwarzenegger went on to make it clear that he still has hope that this will change someday, and that he’ll eventually be able to run for president.
“I mean OK there is the Constitution,” he said. “We need some immigration reform, absolutely, to change that. But it would be a little bit selfish if I go out and try to change the law.”
Schwarzenegger then expressed his dissatisfaction with the potential 2024 presidential race between Joe Biden, 80, and Donald Trump, 77, indicating that he feels that they are each too old for the job.
“I just hope that America finds some really young blood,” Schwarzenegger stated. “Because to me, it is a little bit odd that we are having a battle between people today in the late 70s and early 80s, rather than people in the 40s and 50s or maybe even younger and have them have a chance at this great, great job.”

Schwarzenegger Claims To Be A ‘Proud Republican’
Earlier this month, Schwarzenegger claimed to be a “proud Republican” despite the fact that he frequently speaks out against Trump.
“I’m a proud Republican. And I’ll tell you why: Because I’m a traditional Republican,” Schwarzenegger told the liberal late night host Jimmy Kimmel, according to The Hill. “Remember that the one that put most of the land aside for future generations was Teddy Roosevelt, who was a Republican.”
“Ronald Reagan created the Air Resources Board in California, the most important board in order to really be able to execute all the laws that we passed,” he continued. “President Nixon created the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency, in Washington.”
“These were people that was sane Republicans, and that really were thinking more about what was good for the people, rather than being stuck in the ideological corners and they just can’t get along — which is totally ridiculous because as we all know, especially since I learned a lot of my lessons from sports — that you cannot win as win as a team if you don’t work together,” Schwarzenegger added.

‘We Have To Come Together’
Kimmel argued that the traditional Republican Party “doesn’t exist anymore,” with Schwarzenegger responding by saying, “But we have to inspire that.”
“It doesn’t mean that we should run the other way or we should give up. There’s moments in life where it needs leadership and where you have to encourage people to work together,” he stated. “I think what we need is really leadership to bring people together and to teach both parties not to look at the other side as the enemy.”
“We are all on the same side of the fence,” Schwarzenegger concluded. “We are Americans, and we have to come together.”

Do you agree with Schwarzenegger that he would make a “great president?” Let us know in the comments section.
Now is the time to support and share the sources you trust.

Hey, if a British citizen born in Kenya and then renouncing his US citizenship (from his mother’s side) and taking Indonesian citizenship, gets special student privileges because he is a foreign student, can become US President, why not an Austrian?
A man in a dress became “First Lady” for eight years.
A murderous (Waco, Yugoslavia, Syria and Libya) psychopath was “First Lady” for eight years and then became Secretary of State for anther 4 or so, and could not believe that someone else was much, much more popular.
A palpably corrupt VP whose only ability (according to his boss) was that he could “F up anything”, suffering from obvious dementia and incapable of climbing simple stairs can be a President, why not an Austrian moron who lifted weights for 8 hours a day because according to him “it feels better than cumming.”
Putting an Austrian in charge of a large wealthy country, what could possibly go wrong?
Well let’s flash back a couple of years to the pandemic. Didn’t he say “screw your freedom” and do as your told. And now he wants to be president where he can easily cast aside our constitution and bill of rights when he deems. I am glad he is not a natural born citizen because he does not stand a chance at becoming president.
Arnold says Biden and Trump are too old but he is up there himself. To his credit, he tried conservative reform in Sacramento. To his discredit, when challenged, he backed down and with Jerry Brown beating him for re-election he was shut down at almost the first sign of opposition. He would not be a good President. Our enemies are watching.
Not a chance in hell, Arnie, would I vote for you. I seem to remember you saying “Screw your freedoms!” a couple of years ago. We have a Bill of Rights for a reason–it protects us even during an emergency. An emergency is NOT an excuse to take away our Constitutional rights–they are there specifically to protect US from YOU, the government (that you used to be a part of) I’m old, but I’m not THAT old, I remember you attacking people during the “pandemic”, pretty sure if you had your way, all sorts of things would have been mandatory. If you want to be a tyrant, you trot right back over to Austria and do it there.
Arnold Schwenegger is bs dreaming
He didn’t even know how to be US State Governor
He is a pretty decent actor but that’s all he is
Keep our successful US politics to:
?CHRISTrump 2024 US Election with His/his overwhelmingly successful Trumplican Lawmakers
Amen & Amen?
Arnold Schwenegger
You are nothing but damned evil neverTRUMP rinos
You’d be even worse than Biden/Harris & Newsom
Since you are a neverTRUMP rinos immigrant as Obama is
I and many many US Trumplican citizen voters definitely would not vote
No way no how
?CHRISTrump 2024 US Election with His/his overwhelmingly successful Trumplican Lawmakers
Amen & Amen?
Unless he means “compared to Biden”; I’ll have to call BS.
Arnold is a POS. He was a POS Governor. Corrupt.
Too Liberal!
you have to be a deep state toady like Obummer who I voted for in 08 to be foreign born and qualified.
Schwarzenegger is a liberal. He supported Climate Change policy in 2006, and he supports gun control, LGBT agenda, abortion, and opposes offshore oil drilling. These are not positions of conservatives, who comprise the Republican majority.
Nor is Schwarzenegger a Democrat, since he believes in free market capitalism. Democrats believe in a one-party totalitarian state, like their comrades in Communist China today or USSR of old.
“screw your freedom” will haunt you till your dying days
Oh good, a Rino with muscles. Just what we need.
As I recall, he was not able to make any significant conservative reforms in California, why would do any better as US president? He should get experience working for Trump and trying to get a proven good man elected before he starts blowing his own horn.
Well said.
Be was corrupt garbage
