Arnold Schwarzenegger asserts that he would emerge victorious if he were to run for the position of President.
The presidential election is the ultimate reality show in America. Instead of vying for a prize of $100,000 and the title of the next drag superstar, you contend for a powerful nuclear button capable of impacting millions of lives. Additionally, the secret service bestows upon you a cool new nickname. That's the unique allure of the United States! Any ordinary person can potentially lead the nation if they have enough popularity. Well, almost anyone. The privilege of ruling America is exclusively reserved for natural-born citizens. And apparently, this is the only requirement preventing Arnold Schwarzenegger from becoming the 47th President.
During an interview with Chris Wallace for Max's "Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?" show, Arnold delved into the presidential happenings. As numerous contenders throw their hats into the ring for the 2024 election, Wallace inquired if the former California governor and "Kindergarten Cop" star would ever contemplate a presidential run.
According to Variety:
"The Constitution states that the President must be a natural-born US citizen. If that requirement didn't exist, would you have run for president?" Wallace asked Schwarzenegger.
"Well, yes, absolutely," Schwarzenegger replied. "I mean, I believe the field was wide open in 2016. And I believe the field is still open right now. Just think about it. I mean, who is there? There really isn't a person who can unite everyone. Who is currently present that people would say, 'Okay, he's not too old, he's not too this or that.' Or is it because the question now is more about who you vote against rather than who you vote for?"
You heard it here. Just as Arnold assembled a paramilitary team to combat the Predator, he envisions bringing the nation together to confront the divisions that have fractured our country! While Wallace acknowledged the constitutional limitation that prevents Arnold, an Austrian-born naturalized US citizen, from running, he posed the question:
"Are you saying you would run for president in 2024?"
With Arnold's widespread popularity (although perhaps not with Maria Shriver or George Takei), he firmly believes that his unique blend of political celebrity will energize Americans at the voting booth.
"Absolutely," Schwarzenegger responded. "Put me in because it's, look – it's a no-brainer. I see so clearly how I could win that election."
Perhaps most of Arnold's past missteps have been exposed and left behind, making him an exception among presidential hopefuls who are often undone by hidden secrets. After all, he survived the public relations disaster of cheating on a Kennedy! Unfortunately for Arnold's fans, they will only witness him behind the presidential podium if we amend the Constitution or if he takes on the role of Commander-in-Chief, succeeding Morgan Freeman in "Deep Impact 2: Going Deeper." For now, we'll have to be content with his numerous Netflix series. Hopefully, one of his shows will eventually tackle the greatest scandal in his career: his captivity of Miriam Margolyes as his fart hostage!
