To this point, when @Schwarzenegger traveled to every state for the President’s Council on Fitness, he saw students with nowhere to go at 3. So he asked administrators tons of questions, commissioned studies, formed a nationwide after-school program, & put funding on the ballot. https://twitter.com/isaacdovere/status/1385595357770493956
I guess I’m saying when you do your celebrity comparisons, ask yourself if this person showed up at an event and saw a problem, would they get back in their motorcade, or would they dedicate their next 30 years to learning about the problem and trying to solve it?
Arnold was also in office before it was cool for sitting politicians to fight gerrymandering. But he heard “This is a good idea but I can’t take it to my district” too many times and studied. Then he ran a failed campaign for reform, didn’t give up, and eventually succeeded.
Celebrity comparisons are easy until they’re not. Like Trump and Arnold - both outsiders elected by angry voters. But one passed reforms to bring sanity to the electoral system and bring the anger level down, and one shit all over the electoral system and ratcheted anger up.
The celebrity outsider who wants to learn “like a sponge” and get deeply involved does stuff like this: http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1675343,00.html

The celebrity outsider just raising their profile does stuff like this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-company-secret-service-spending/2020/08/27/9331bd86-de36-11ea-8051-d5f887d73381_story.html
