BY JUDY KURTZ - 10/03/23 11:02 AM ET
Arnold Schwarzenegger has some exercise advice for former President Trump: Do some laps around a jail cell.
If he would ask me what should you do for fitness, I would just say, Run around your cell three times. Youre going to be in great shape ...
Do you think it is possible that he weighs 215 pounds? Kimmel asked the former bodybuilder, who served on the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness and Sports in the 1990s.
Yeah, as much as it is possible that there is no climate change. As much as is possible that we dont need to really reduce pollution Schwarzenegger said ...

Big Macs are good too. Eat 'em for breakfast, lunch, supper and for inbetween meal snacks too.
Get fat,.. have a heart attack,.. drop dead real soon.
The world will be forever grateful.

(3,191 posts)he seemed to have governed as an old school liberal republican in the Rockefeller vein
and yeah, he is a smart guy with good political instincts

(12,231 posts)But in the grand scheme of things, I think he did a good job. My entire family is old school, fiscal Republican and while I disagree with that (obviously), I can understand it and debate it.

(19,956 posts)if Trump could win. And he said "no." He said his numbers are in the '30s and you can't win with numbers in the '30s. He would have to pull all the Independents and other groups and he can't do that."
I hope he's right.

(19,187 posts)Arnold didnt really bother me that much as California governor; I just didnt like Gray Davis getting recalled. More Darrell Issa shit moves
prodigitalson
(3,191 posts)the opening scene has Arnold's character shooting out a car alarm that is annoyingly going off, and didn't sleazy Issa sell car alarms? I remember speculation that was an intentional dig at Issa.
NBachers
(19,187 posts)those obnoxious car alarms with all the screeching tones and belligerent voices. He grew multi multi millionaire rich off it.

(25,492 posts)Even though he had his family get him really good advisors. He ignored their advice.
He didnt do a good job. Lost his marriage and a lot of respect. Really didnt get all self reflective until years later.

(40,384 posts)California politics isn't a game anyone can play without experience.
His job was to overlook a multi-billion dollar theft from the California economy.
I can't say how that ego-driven misadventure might have influenced his current political stances but it seems to have been for the better.

(13,896 posts)My dream would be for him to be in the Republican debates. Imagine it! The 3-part docu on his life on Netflix is quite good though it's obviously not objective but he does admit a lot of mistakes from his past.

(23,326 posts)It makes more sense the first way, instead of run around yourself. What is that, Arnold? It's hard to make out what he said though and there wasn't a repeat to clarify.

(58,373 posts)big enough to go around you would be worth a few runs".
It really sounds like a definite "f" sound at the end of the word, not the expected "z" or "s" sound that an austrian/german might make with the word "cells". And the word 'cells' wouldn't make sense, anyway.

I wish the hero worship of this predator would stop. He is trying to get the Trump stink off of himself with these PR antics.
