The Terminator star made these comments in a recent interview. As he was not born in America, he cannott run for presidency, having been born in Austria in 1963. The actor moved the America in 1968.
“Well, yes, of course”, Schwarzenegger responded when asked if he would run for the White House if he was eligible.
“I mean, I think the field was wide open in 2016. And I think the field is open right now. I mean, think about it right now. I mean, who is there? There is really not a person that can bring everyone together”, he continued. “Who is here today that people say okay, he’s not too old or he’s not too this or too that, or is that because it’s now a question about who do you vote against than who do you vote for”.
He added, “Put me in because it’s, look – it’s a no brainer. I see so clearly how I could win that that election”.
In the same interview, Arnold Schwarzenegger stated that the next president of the US must "bring the nation toegther".
“I mean, it’s like me and California”, he said. “And when that was, you know, running for governor, it was clear that people are looking for some new answer, not a right wing or left wing, but someone that can bring the nation together”.
“There’s just so many things that need to be done. And can be done. And what makes it so wonderful is because it’s doable. It’s all doable, or at least it’s just people coming together and say yes, we can do it”.
Schwarzenegger served as governor of California from 2003 to 2011, having been granted US citizenship in 1983.
