Arnold Schwarzenegger said he has a hard time saying anything positive about President Donald Trump when he hosted the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s annual grants dinner on Wednesday night, Associated Press reports.
The former California governor remembered when he was asked a couple questions about Trump during an interview before being offered to host the star-studded ceremony. He recalled during his opening speech that he had “nothing nice to say about the guy.”
The event was held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, where more than a dozen film and TV stars helped the group that put on the Golden Globes announce proceeds to 74 film schools and arts organizations.
Schwarzenegger said the HFPA’s efforts are important to him and has a special connection with the group because “I am actually foreign.” His remarks come after Trump tweeted that four Democratic congresswomen of color “go back” to countries from “which they came from.”
“And I have chosen not to ‘go back to my country’, but stay here, live here and make a difference here,” Schwarzenegger added. “And to me, that is what makes America great.”
Renée Zellweger, Taron Egerton, Kerry Washington, Ali Wong, Eva Longoria, James Corden, Sacha Baron Cohen, Justin Hartley and others were among the entertainers who appeared to discuss the charities that benefit from HFPA grants.
