“People Wanted Someone from Outside”: Arnold Schwarzenegger Highlighted the Real Reason Donald Trump Won before 2018 Midterm Elections

Arnold Schwarzenegger, throughout his life, took up many roles. From bodybuilding to acting to politics, he is a man of versatility. Regardless of the role, Arnold played everything to perfection. He never complained. All he did was work hard and serve for betterment. When Arnold joined as the 38th Governor of California, he played his part with precision. From formulating policies to initiating change, the Terminator star played an instrumental role.

However, during the 2018 US Congressional midterm elections, Arnold could not help but comment on how the “US politics SUCKS!” The former Republican Governor of California and Hollywood celebrity acknowledged he had “little interest” in politics these days and lamented that “nothing is getting done.” He also spoke about why Donald Trump came to power.

Arnold Schwarzenegger made his point clear 

Despite being a politician himself, Arnie grew a little interested in politics. According to him, it wasn’t that great. Instead of politics, he was more interested in policy. Being an immigrant himself, the ace bodybuilder was well-versed in the challenges that an immigrant faced. Thus, he was more interested in a policy that could better their plight.

Speaking with CNN’s the Axe Files, he said, “I’m very little interested in politics because it sucks. I’m more interested in policy.” He elaborated further on how for 20 years, “they have promised to create immigration reform, and they haven’t.” During the interview, he expressed embarrassment about the nation’s failing infrastructure and lack of immigration policy reform.

Because the leaders in-elect were not doing anything substantial, there was public discontent. “People wanted someone from the outside.
