Can Arnold Schwarzenegger run for PRESIDENT of the United States?

Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to be the President of the United States, that much is clear.

The legendary actor first went into politics in the early 2000s when he successfully ran to become Governor of California, a post which he held between 2003 and 2011.

He recently stated his desire, again, to run for POTUS.

"Absolutely. Put me in because it's... look - it's a no-brainer. I see so clearly how I could win that election," he said when asked about running on Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?

"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.

"I mean, it's like me and California. 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."

Unfortunately for Arnie, he is not eligible to run for president as he was not born in the United States.

Arnie's act of community service

Even though he hasn't been in politics for a while now, Arnie is still serving the community - by filling up a massive pothole in a street near in house.

In a video posted on social media, Arnie can be seen laying down tar and flattening it alongside a team of helpers. A few people driving by in cars stop and express their gratitude.

"Today, after the whole neighbourhood has been upset about this giant pothole that’s been screwing up cars and bicycles for weeks, I went out with my team and fixed it," he wrote in a Tweet.

"I always say, let’s not complain, let’s do something about it. Here you go."

In the video, Schwarzenegger speaks to a neighbour, saying:

"Thank you, sometimes you just have to do something yourself. It's crazy, for three weeks I've been asking for this hole to be closed!"

He really is...The Tarminator.

The argument against Arnold Schwarzenegger as President is the same as Trump when it boils down to it, he's a Republican. Republican policies that make cuts to public services and government agencies to fund tax cuts for the uber wealthy have already caused enough problems. Any Democrat would be a better President than Arnie, because they wouldn't have to follow an agenda beholden to the wealthy over and above the needs of the people. Policies that promote education & science, actually valuing the role of teachers, that make healthcare available to all who need it, not just those who can afford it, that improve public transport, that promote workers' rights and fair wages, affordable housing, investment in mental health services, protection from gun violence, improving economic equality etc. are what is needed not just Arnie taking over the White house to promote Republican policies that only serve the whims of the wealthy few.
