Schwarzenegger on why he would like to run for US presidency

American bodybuilder, actor, and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger in an interview with the Financial Times explained the meaning of his words about his desire to run for the US presidency.

He stated that in this way he wanted to encourage citizens to unite and work together for a better future.

“My message today is that we have to come together as a country. If we all look at America as a place that we want to be number one in the world, then we have to play ball together. And we will be much more successful,” he said.

Earlier in June, Schwarzenegger said he would like to run for president if he were eligible. Moreover, he highly appreciated his chances of winning.

The actor cannot be a candidate for the US presidency, as he is an Austrian citizen by birth. However, this did not stop him from trying himself as a manager: from 2003 to 2011, he served as governor of California.
