James Cameron says he is “sickened” by Donald Trump‘s re-election, and he is happy his New Zealand citizenship is “imminent”.While appearing on The Fucking News podcast, the Oscar-winning director was asked for his response to Trump becoming US president again, to which Cameron replied: “I think it’s horrific, I think it’s horrifying.”“I see a turn away from everything decent,” he said. “America doesn’t stand for anything if it doesn’t stand for what it has historically stood for.

It becomes a hollow idea, and I think they’re hollowing it out as fast as they can for their own benefit.”While Cameron frequently visits the US, he spends the majority of his time in New Zealand, where he has spent over a decade filming and working on the Avatar franchise.

However, the director added that, given “we are all in this together globally,” he is unsure “if I feel any safer here”.“But I certainly feel like I don’t have to read about it on the front page every single day.

And it’s just sickening,” Cameron added. “There’s something nice about the New Zealand outlets — at least they’ll put it on page three.
