Arnold Schwarzenegger is pretty sure he knows why President Donald Trump appears so obsessed with him.
“I think he’s in love with me,” he said Tuesday, while guesting on SiriusXM’s The Michael Smerconish Program.

“Is that what it is?” Smerconish wondered aloud.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Yeah, I think so,” Schwarzenegger said.
Later, he laughed when Smerconish mentioned his “long relationship” with Trump.

Trump has certainly had Schwarzenegger on the brain in recent months, repeatedly calling out the actor and former California governor, particularly after he took over hosting duties at The New Celebrity Apprentice.
Here’s one of Trump’s recent posts:
Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't voluntarily leaving the Apprentice, he was fired by his bad (pathetic) ratings, not by me. Sad end to great show

Later on in the interview, Schwarzenegger mused on how to navigate through America’s political divide:
“I believe very strongly what Eisenhower said, that politics is like the road. The left and the right is like the gutter and the center is drivable. And I believe that the action is in the center, and I hope that the politicians wake up one day and just decide that they want to do the people’s work rather than the party’s work. “
He also discusses why he is so keen on redistricting reform:
“The system is fixed. It’s rigged. And it’s not really serving the people well. So this is why I became a fanatic about redistricting because I saw the flaws here in California. And we have seen great changes since we have done redistricting reform here in the state.”

Dumb and dumber.

Seriously, is it ok to hate both of them?
natekerchel
I don’t ‘hate’ anyone. I simply made an observation on their intellectual abilities based on their speeches and actions. It would be fair to say that I find them both somewhat repulsive though. A bad actor and worse politician, and a tax-dodging racist, sexist, homophobic pretend President. Totally made for each other.

They can have each other.

They deserve each other and both are getting their just deserts. Gov. Sauerkraut rode into office thanks to Enron’s manipulation of the power grid and the ignorance of the population of California who listened to his lies and blamed Grey Davis for the problem. He left the state of Calif broke when he left office and every thing he has done since has failed. I bet that video game that he is too old to be promoting isn’t doing all that hot either.
Trump played off of the ignorance of Bubbah and cheered when the Russians hacked the DNC. Now he is too stupid to fess up to (or at least suggest) those same Russians are behind all of his leaks. Why would they stop at the DNC when the whole country was up for grabs? Russia has far more to gain than lose creating turmoil in the U.S.

Excellent point and fitting description for both.
