Former California Governor and iconic actor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to promote his latest book, “Be Useful.” During the show, the host, Jimmy Kimmel, couldn’t resist quizzing the bodybuilding legend about former President Donald Trump’s reported weight loss.
Jimmy Kimmel, the host of the show, couldn’t resist seeking the bodybuilding icon’s perspective on the weight of the former President, as documented in his Fulton County booking records. The conversation that ensued was a blend of humor and insight, showcasing Schwarzenegger’s charismatic presence.
Kimmel initiated the discussion by acknowledging Schwarzenegger’s expertise in male physique and bodybuilding, setting the stage for an intriguing question. “You are one of the foremost experts on the male physique, bodybuilding, etc.,” Kimmel began. “When you size him [Trump] up, what would you guess that man weighs?”
Schwarzenegger, ever the diplomat, responded with restraint. “You know, I don’t really know how much he weighs,” he said.
Yet, Schwarzenegger couldn’t resist injecting a dose of humor into the conversation. “I can tell you one thing,” he quipped, “that if he would ask me what he should do for fitness, I would just say, ‘Run around yourself three times, and you’re going to be in great, great shape.'”
Not satisfied with this diplomatic response, Kimmel pressed further, seeking a more definitive answer. “So you think it’s possible he weighs 215 pounds?” he asked.
Schwarzenegger’s response was witty and clever, making light of a serious issue. “Yes, as much as it is possible that there is no climate change,” he joked, slyly alluding to the climate change debate. “And as much as it’s possible that we don’t need to reduce pollution.”
The actor and former politician elaborated, providing a bit more clarity to his stance. “Look,” he continued, “we all know the way he is, and if it makes him feel good to tell everyone he weighs 215, I think everyone laughs about it because he does not look like he weighs 215,” Schwarzenegger concluded with a chuckle, “He’s a little more like 315.”
The topic of Donald Trump’s reported weight came to the forefront following his booking by Fulton County officials on August 24. The allegations against the former president pertained to his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.
Schwarzenegger’s humorous yet insightful response added a touch of levity to the ongoing discussion surrounding Donald Trump and his assertions. It showcased his unique blend of humor and charisma, leaving the audience both entertained and thoughtful about the weighty issue at hand.
