Arnold Schwarzenegger throws shade at Donald Trump¡¯s Chrisley Pardons with Icy ¡®Hasta la vista¡¯ dismissal

Arnold Schwarzenegger is not mincing words, well, catchphrases, when it comes to Donald Trump¡¯s headline-grabbing pardon of reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Monday, 23 June, the Terminator icon was put to the test in a rapid-fire segment of pop culture verdicts dubbed ¡°Maybe or Hasta La Vista, Baby?¡±

Arnold Schwarzenegger Vs Donald Trump

The 77-year-old actor and former California governor was given a choice: say ¡°maybe¡± if he was into something, or drop his infamous Judgment Day line,¡°Hasta la vista, baby,¡± if he was not.

Let¡¯s just say, when the topic of the Chrisleys¡¯ presidential pardon came up, Schwarzenegger did not even blink. He firmly hit back with a ¡°Hasta la vista, baby,¡± showing no support for Trump¡¯s May decision to grant clemency to the convicted couple.

Todd, 56, and Julie, 52, once stars of Chrisley Knows Best, were released from prison last month after Trump cleared their convictions for bank and wire fraud, and tax evasion. Despite their original sentencing in 2022, both have repeatedly claimed innocence, and Trump clearly bought it.

Speaking to their daughter Savannah Chrisley at the time, Trump reportedly expressed empathy, saying the couple were now ¡°free and clean¡± and that he did not personally know them but wished them well.

Savannah, 27, had long been campaigning for her parents¡¯ release and expressed overwhelming gratitude to Trump, crediting his decision as the answer to her prayers.

Since their return to Nashville, Todd Chrisley has held a press conference, maintaining that he was wrongly convicted and warning that such a fate ¡°could be any of you.¡± Julie, notably, chose not to appear.

Now, the entire Chrisley clan is gearing up for their first televised post-pardon interview with Lara Trump on Fox News, set to air Saturday, 28 June.

But Schwarzenegger clearly does not share the same enthusiasm. While he gave a hesitant ¡°maybe¡± to TikTok, Las Vegas residencies, and even Barbra Streisand¡¯s upcoming duets album, he gave reality pardons the cold shoulder, proving some things even The Terminator cannot reboot.
