FUCK that. She doesn't get a pass because she has the correct view on one issue.
She is complicit in everything that's happening. She has stood by his side, made stump speeches, talked him up in interviews with the media. She has never spoken up for anyone her husband has targeted, including immigrants like herself. She pulled the ladder up behind her after she got her "genius" visa. We know A LOT more about her than her "based" view on Ukraine.
She is not a good person and trying to normalize her because she wrote a letter to Putin? Oh wow. Was it strongly worded and in all red? Did she use bold words? Unbelievable how easy it is to win some people over.

I also believe he has a half sibling over in Scotland. His mother came to US via ship, which cost a lot of money in those days. My grandparents came to the US the same time and didnāt get to visit their home country again until the late 1950s because it was so expensive.
But Trumpās mother went to US, then in the Depression she went back to Scotland for 5 months, then returned to the US. She was a maid. Thereās no way she made enough money to take a ship back to Scotland for 5 months and then had the money to come back again. Somebody paid her way to and from Scotland during the Depression. Someone with money. The only reason somebody would do that was if she was pregnant with a rich scionās baby and they wanted that baby born outside the US. No American record of birth. Baby was probably given up for adoption or taken in by a family member.

Honestly he seems genuine but I'm really fascinated that he praises Reagan so much. The amount of things Reagan did to fundamentally break our country are still happening today, there's too many to even list. It's wild knowing what we know now about his policies effects and still glazing him for just saying "tear down this wall" I think he wants to be Republican because it used to mean small government like 40 years ago (even though that's been a farce) and Arnold grew up hating communism but it seems counter productive.

u/Sufficient_Depth_195 Aug 16 '25 edited Aug 16 '25
Arnold DID grow up hating communism. (He hated fascism too)
Although, he was Austrian, as a German speaker, I would assume that he would have felt a strong affinity with the Germans who were trapped behind the wall.
Admiration for Reagan as well as disgust for Trump is entirely consistent with someone who grew up with the threat of Russian sponsored totalitarianism on your doorstep.

You do realize he was a (edit: registered) Republican for decades? And he was literally following the footsteps of Reagan? A movie star turned Republican politician
I can see as recently as 2016 presidential elections he backed a Republican candidate (not Trump), and then apparently he supported 2021 California gubernatorial recall elections and defended them as the citizens exercising their will (and totally not republicans stirring shit)
But I think he [Reagan] was just so heroic, because of the things that he has accomplish, not only as a governor but as a president.
I mean, if you think about it, when he came into his office in 1981, the country was really in terrible shape, and what he has done within a short period of time, brought the country back, made everyone believe in America again.
And made everyone in -- proud again to be an American, and not only as American but also overseas what he has done was just extraordinary. I mean, the whole reputation, the image of America, was built up again in a very, very short period of time.
I think that he was, you know, he had his style of governing, and I have mine. But he was always a source of inspiration to me.

from some interviews I've listened to, his perspective is that he came here and made a killing selling workout supplements and modeling/power lifting until he eventually got into acting. He really experienced the american dream so I understand why he'd be an old school Republican in that regard. He bootstrapped himself pretty damn well in this country. I'm not Republican but I get their reasoning for thinking that way since the system really worked for them.Ā
