written Twitter statement reported 8 October 2016 article by Variety, released a day after the release of the Access Hollywood tape from 2005 of an interview of Trump by Billy Bush

For the first time since I became a citizen in 1983, I will not vote for the Republican candidate for President. Like many Americans, I’ve been conflicted by this election – I still haven’t made up my mind about how exactly I will vote next month. But as proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label that I hold above all else – American. So I want to take a moment today to remind my fellow Republicans that it is not only acceptable to choose your country over your party – it is your duty.

— Arnold Schwarzenegger
