Later in the clip, Schwarzenegger describes growing up in Austria shortly after the Second World War. He talks of Nazism as a losing, shameful ideology and of broken men “who came home from the war filled with shrapnel and guilt.” Watch the video here: > [](https://twitter.com/attn/status/898328098529083394) Watch Arnold Schwarzenegger Slam Nazis the Way Trump Hasn't ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4906106/arnold-schwarzenegger-white-supremecists-nazi-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4906106/arnold-schwarzenegger-white-supremecists-nazi-trump/"},"headline":"Watch Arnold Schwarzenegger Denounce Nazis in the Way Trump Has Failed to Do","datePublished":"2017-08-18T03:21:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:46:36.528Z","description":"Schwarzenegger draws on his experience of growing up in Austria shortly after the Second World War","url":"https://time.com/4906106/arnold-schwarzenegger-white-supremecists-nazi-trump/","keywords":["Newsfeed","California","Race","Arnold Schwarzenegger","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt763ee9cc297142cd/6988da38656a3fe92fbd156c/gettyimages-800195670.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Joseph Hincks","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/joseph-hincks/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt763ee9cc297142cd/6988da38656a3fe92fbd156c/gettyimages-800195670.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"French President Emmanuel Macron Receives Arnold Schwarzenegger At Elysee Palace","caption":"French President Emmanuel Macron Receives Arnold Schwarzenegger At Elysee Palace","creditText":"Aurelien Meunier—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4906106/arnold-schwarzenegger-white-supremecists-nazi-trump/","name":"Watch Arnold Schwarzenegger Denounce Nazis in the Way Trump Has Failed to Do"}}]}] ```
