One of my movies was called ’True Lies.’ It’s what the Democrats should have called their convention.

Schwarzenegger’s line is a partisan quip that leverages the title of his 1994 action film True Lies as a rhetorical weapon. By suggesting Democrats should have named their convention after the movie, he implies that what was presented at the convention—platform promises, speeches, or political messaging—was deceptive or hypocritical. The joke depends on celebrity authority (his filmography) and the punchy condensation of a complex political critique into a memorable pop-culture reference. It also reflects Schwarzenegger’s long-standing habit of mixing entertainment branding with political commentary, using humor to sharpen an attack while keeping it sound-bite friendly.
