The Academy Award-winning filmmaker expressed his thoughts on "The F—ing News" podcast about Trump's return to the presidency, stating: "I think it's horrific, I think it's horrifying."

"I see a shift away from all things decent," Cameron explained. "America loses its meaning if it abandons what it has traditionally represented. It turns into an empty concept, and I believe they are emptying it quickly for their own gain."

Although Cameron visits the United States often, he lives mainly in New Zealand. He has been shooting and developing the "Avatar" series there for over ten years.

Considering that "we are all in this together globally," Cameron said he's not certain "if I feel any safer here."

"But I definitely feel like I don't have to see it on the front page every day. And it's just disgusting," Cameron continued. "There's something pleasant about New Zealand news outlets — at least they'll place it on page three. I simply don't want to view that guy's face anymore on the front page of the newspaper. It's unavoidable there, it resembles watching a vehicle collision repeatedly."

Regarding his soon-to-be New Zealand citizenship, Cameron explained it "means a lot" and "it's something I've worked for, something I've had to give up things for."

"If you're going to move your family somewhere new, you must invest, you must participate, you must earn standing," the filmmaker said. "I just think you must earn your right to live in a place... There's a natural respect and a requirement for respect [here]. Everyone has this kind of equal status as people. And I appreciate that – that's what I wanted my children to experience."

Cameron is finishing post-production on the third "Avatar" film, titled "Avatar: Fire and Ash." The movie will be released on December 19 from Disney and 20th Century Studios. He has two additional "Avatar" sequels planned, portions of which have already been filmed.
