Trump should return to reality TV, says Arnie

People would be able to sleep again, former California governor suggests

- STEWART ALEXANDER

Arnold Schwarzene­gger has urged Donald Trump to go back to reality TV so “people can finally sleep comfortabl­y again”.

The Terminator star and former Republican governor of California hit back after President Trump mocked his replacemen­t as the host of The Celebrity Apprentice in the US.

The president suggested the show had been a “total disaster” since Schwarzene­gger took over.

The actor responded in a video clip, saying: “Hey Donald, I have a great idea – why don’t we switch jobs?

“You take over TV, because you’re such an expert in ratings, and I take over your job, and then people can finally sleep comfortabl­y again, hmm?”

In the UK, scores of public figures from the arts, politics, religious groups and academia have called for a historic protest against President Trump’s state visit and urged Prime Minister Theresa May to cancel it.

More than 90 signatures have been added to a letter criticisin­g the Government for attempting to “normalise” what they said was the president’s divisive agenda.

A second letter says Mr Trump intends to do “ill” with his power, while in a third, dozens of healthcare workers said they were obliged to speak out due to the “jeopardy British people will face under the current transatlan­tic appeasemen­t spectacle”.

A petition in support of Mr Trump’s planned state visit has attracted more than 250,000 signatures.
