-I don't really give support to candidates. I'm not afraid to share my point of view, but I hate politics and have no confidence in most politicians. Schwarzenegger writes on X.
He says his time as governor of California taught him to love what could be achieved through politics, but to hate politics itself.
– I'm worried
– Let me be honest and say that I don't like any of the parties now. Republicans have forgotten how beautiful the free market is. They have doubled the deficit and ignored the election results. “Democrats are no better when it comes to the deficit, and I worry that their local policies are hurting our cities while increasing crime,” continues the Austrian-born film star and former bodybuilder.
He says that rejecting the election results is the most un-American thing he can think of, and that he is an American before he is a Republican.

-And that's why this week I'm voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

Longing for Trump
Schwarzenegger says people have a right to be angry at politicians and the state of American politics.
– It's just a game for them, but it's about the lives of Americans, he says and launches a tirade against Donald Trump:
– He is a candidate who does not respect your vote unless it is his. A candidate who sends his supporters to storm Congress while he watches with a Coke Light in his hand. He is a candidate who has shown no ability to implement policies other than tax cuts that benefit donors and other wealthy people like me, but help no one else. A candidate who believes that Americans who disagree with him pose a greater threat than China, Russia, or North Korea. It is not the solution to our problems.
-Vote
Schwarzenegger says it's time to close a chapter in American history that has seen growing anger, division and hatred.
– That will not happen with Trump. That's reason enough for me to share with you what I vote on. Vote this week. Even if you don't agree with me, vote. This is what we Americans do, the article concludes.
