Trump should return to reality TV, says Arnie
People would be able to sleep again, former California governor suggests
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.
