Arnold schwarzenegger legt sich mit trump an

“The Terminator” has a message for President Donald Trump: Don’t go back in time to “rescue the coal industry.”

In a video uploaded to Facebook by media company ATTN: on Thursday, former California Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger references a popular movie role he played to mock what he describes as efforts to “save an industry that is poisoning the environment.”

“So President Trump, I know you really want to be an action hero, right?” Schwarzenegger says, while looking at a Trump bobblehead. “So take it from the Terminator, you’re only supposed to go back in time to protect future generations. But your administration attempts to go back in time to rescue the coal industry, which is actually a threat to future generations.”

He then compares Trump’s attempt to “rescue the coal industry” to rescuing other relics from America’s past.

“It is foolish to bring back laughable, outdated technology to suit your political agenda,” Schwarzenegger says. “I mean, what are you going to bring back next? Floppy disks? Fax machines? Beanie Babies? Beepers? Or Blockbuster? Think about it. What if you tried to save Blockbuster?”

This is not the first time Schwarzenegger has taken stabs at the President. Recently, the movie-star-turned-politician spoke out against Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy for illegal border crossings, which has led to children being separated from their parents.

As an immigrant, I know the magnetic power of America's greatness. As a former border Governor, I know the importance of securing our border and fixing our absurdly broken immigration system. As an American, I know that kids shouldn't be pawns while the "adults" figure it out.

“As an immigrant, I know the magnetic power of America’s greatness,” Schwarzenegger tweeted on June 19. “As a former border Governor, I know the importance of securing our border and fixing our absurdly broken immigration system. As an American, I know that kids shouldn’t be pawns while the ‘adults’ figure it out.”

He has also advocated for Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich making a second run for the Oval Office.

In an interview with CNN in March, Schwarzenegger said the GOP is “dying at the box office” by not having more inclusive messages and policies.

“The reason why I said it was because their policies were such that they were not really including everybody,” he said. “So that they have everybody interested, like for instance women. A million women left within a few years because we did not address as a party heath care issues. We didn’t address education issues. We didn’t address environmental issues. Those were three issues that were very important to women, and we were losing them because we were not addressing those issues. So I was telling them, I said, ‘Look, the way you’re going by being so anti-health-care reform and being so anti-environment and stuff like this, we are losing and we’re dying at the box office.”

Schwarzenegger appeared in a different video posted by ATTN: last August. In it, he called out hate groups in response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Former Trump Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark was reminded of the time his house was searched by federal investigators ― and he was filmed waiting outside in his underpants ― after his attempted mockery of actor and former California GOP Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger went awry.

On Wednesday, Clark attacked Schwarzenegger for filing an amicus brief in the Supreme Court case of Moore v. Harper, which may result in the nixing of protections against extreme partisan gerrymandering.

“You know when faux Republican ‘the Ahhnold’ is de-mothballed to file an amicus brief at the Supreme Court ― one authored by significant Democrat Supreme Court practitioner David Frederick, the Dem party is very, very concerned about how Moore v. Harper could come out at the S Ct,” Clark snarked on Twitter.

Schwarzenegger, who has long campaigned against the process of gerrymandering, pulled no punches with his response.

The former bodybuilder shared this photograph of Clark during the search of his property amid an investigation into efforts to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election in favor of Donald Trump.

“Thanks for the kind message! I loved this photo of you, but if you want some tips on squatting to build up those legs, I’m here for you,” the actor cracked in his reply which has now gone viral.

Arnold Schwarzenegger denounced "failed leader" Donald Trump and his role in encouraging the Capitol riots this week while asking for unity in the days ahead.

The former Governor of California released a video message on Sunday comparing the events of Jan. 6, when Trump's far-right supporters stormed the Capitol, to Kristallnacht, or "The Night of Broken Glass," in 1938 during which the Nazis began their ascent into power that would end with approximately six million Jews dead.

Schwarzenegger, who was born in Austria two years after the end of World War II, compared the Proud Boys, an all-male organization consisting of far-right Trump supporters who actively engage in political violence, to the Nazis and accused them of "trampling the very principles on which our country was founded."

"Growing up, I was surrounded by broken men drinking away the guilt over their participation in the most evil regime in history," he said in the video. "Not all of them were evil anti-semites or Nazis. Many just went along step-by-step down the road. They were the people next door."

He painfully recalls what remained of men like his father after the war, who would come home drunk to lash out against their families, both verbally and physically, because of what they had witnessed and/or participated in during Hitler's reign. Though he doesn't believe the United States will end in such melee, the action star warns Trump's actions should not be downplayed.

"President Trump sought to overturn the results of an election and of a fair election," Schwarzenegger, who is Republican, continued. "He sought a coup by misleading people with lies. My father and our neighbors were misled also with lies, and I know where such lies lead. President Trump is a failed leader. He will go down in history as the worst president ever. The good thing is he will soon be as irrelevant as an old Tweet."

Following the insurrection Trump and his allies have unleashed on the United States, Schwarzenegger calls for accountability of everyone involved and those who continue to push for more violent disruptions.

"But what are we to make of those elected officials who have enabled his lies and his treachery?" he asks. "I will remind them of what Teddy Roosevelt said, 'Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.'"

He adds, "We need to look past ourselves, our parties, and disagreements and put our democracy first. And we need to heal, together, from the drama of what's just happened. We need to heal, not just as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans."

Amid threats of further disruptions, Schwarzenegger celebrated President-elect Joe Biden, who is set to be inaugurated on Jan. 20.
