Read our privacy policy Arnold Schwarzenegger has called out speculation that the actor and former governor of California is going to leave the United States as Donald Trump starts his second presidency. Schwarzenegger, who backed Kamala Harris for the presidency in November’s election, has now quashed “fake news” about his status in the United States, spread by a pro-Trump account on X/Twitter. The Terminator star shared a post which said: “Arnold Schwarzenegger announces he will leave America: ‘I’m tired of Trump’s nonsense.’” Schwarzenegger swiftly debunked this claim, stating: “Don’t believe fake news. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.” Schwarzenegger during his campaign to become Governor of California Having grown up in Austria, Schwarzenegger idolised the United States and the American way of life and eventually moved to California in 1968, when he was just 21, despite not being able to speak much English.
