Arnold Schwarzenegger has accomplished a lot in his life but still wishes he could be president.

The native Austrian is ineligible to run for that particular office, but reflected on this seeming rsum gap Thursday with Howard Stern. Schwarzenegger, 76, told the renowned radio host that he definitely still has the energy for the job but legally isnt allowed to.

When told hed win that hypothetical election, the former California governor perked up.

Youre absolutely right, because so many people come up to me and go, Oh, I wish you could be our president or something like that, he told Stern. So then of course you think about it, but I mean, I do my things I do my books, I try to make life better for people.

He continued: I like to kind of improve the environment situation, to make people come together Democrats and Republicans and to fight pollution...worldwide and to protect democracy, to make sure that people have the right to vote everywhere.

Schwarzenegger has famously criticized former President Donald Trump throughout his entire term of office. The Terminator star previously called Trump the worst president ever and told Stern on Thursday that he wouldve made a great one himself.

Schwarzenegger is currently promoting his new book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life.

I just always see mountains in front of me to be climbed, he told the radio host . And so, as long as I see those mountains, I keep my enthusiasm and I keep my excitement and the fire in my belly to keep climbing and climbing and climbing.
