Asked what the Guuuvnah makes of comparisons between his governorship and Trump’s rise.

“I don’t really study that much you know what is the difference between Donald Trump and what is my candidacy,” Schwarzenegger tells Chuck Todd from Johannesburg.

Schwarzenegger said he’s still a Republican, even though Trump’s at the helm but he wouldn’t endorse the Donald. The former actor and bodybuilder endorsed governor John Kasich for president.

“Today I want to talk about the poll numbers,” Schwarzenegger said, diverting the conversation back to the work his polling institute his doing.

Schwarzenegger said he does intend to make an endorsement, but it’ll be in his own “unusual” way. (Read: NBC is too passé for this governor.)

“I will make an announcement before the convention you can be sure of that. But I will do it my way, which is an unusual way,” he said. “As you remember I announced my candidacy for governor on the Tonight Show. So that was very unusual and I will do the exact same thing also with the endorsement.”
