It appears that Arnold Schwarzenegger won’t be moving out of the United States despite rumors that he was considering relocating to another country. In a recent X post shared on January 19, 2025, Schwarzenegger stressed that he was ‘made in America’ and confirmed he isn’t going anywhere.

Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s political influence is undeniable, given his role as the former California governor, which ultimately makes his involvement in political affairs all the more significant. While Arnold Schwarzenegger has occasionally sparked controversy, such as when he told Americans “Screw your freedom” at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Schwarzenegger remains committed to improving the nation’s well-being.

Schwarzenegger’s dedication to public service hasn’t stopped him from voicing disagreements with prominent political figures, including President Donald Trump. The tension between the two began when Schwarzenegger took over The Apprentice and has only worsened since then. Both have taken public jabs at each other. Schwarzenegger even joked during a Men’s Journal interview about smashing Trump’s face into a table

During Trump’s first term, Schwarzenegger made it clear he disagreed with the temporary immigration ban the president implemented, which prevented individuals from seven major Muslim countries to enter the US. Arnold Schwarzenegger argued it made the United States ‘look stupid,’ and shared that, as an immigrant from Austria, he felt a personal connection to the issue.
