Arnold Schwarzenegger mocks Trump on coal, asks if he’ll bring back Blockbuster next
By Saba Hamedy, CNN
Updated 0617 GMT (1417 HKT) June 29, 2018“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“It is foolish to bring back laughable, outdated technology to suit your political agenda,” Schwarzenegger says.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?”

Arnie’s video rant;
Schwarzenegger seems to think the President is forcing people to use coal. Arnie thinks the USA should be investing in gas, wind, solar and geothermal energy.
As far as I know President Trump is not forcing anyone to use coal.
According to an internal White House memo obtained by Bloomberg a few weeks ago, President Trump explored providing support for energy suppliers who kept three months reserve fuel supply onsite, to protect grid resilience.
As far as I know this offer would in principle have been available for renewable energy suppliers who could demonstrate their ability to provide three months battery backup for their nameplate generation capacity. Of course, in the real world most renewable providers can’t promise a stable power supply for three minutes into the future, let alone three months.

Next thing you know, ole Arnold will be making fun of the Chinese for using coal.
Neither Trump nor the Chinese will pay any attention to Arnold.
Arnie was most effective in movies when he said almost nothing .
He should stick to movies and tend that picket fence .
arnie married well or he’d have been in the gym and maybe a bit part or two..
his opinion on anything outside a gym back then and now as well?
air n gas.
I wonder what Lassie, Rin-Tin-Tin & Beethoven have to say re AGW? After all … they are also in the entertainment industry.
well Lassie n Rin tin tins opinions might be if you cant eat it or scr*w it
then pee on it;-)
same as arnolds’ opinions about everyone else
His movies were good. But that is about it.
Schwarzenegger may very well be a climate clown but using terms like that in a headline degrade our position as presenting “real news”. Cheap shots like this and “Gorable Warming” might well be red meat for the faithful, but turn away any people who may be on the fence. We look petty and idiotic when we resort to calling names. Do we really want to be a race to the bottom?
He’s still trying to climb out of rehab. Global warming cries must be the most handy distracting message in cases of sexual misconduct as seen by Arnold and the Vatican.
All very interesting comments but you all missed the obvious retort to the governator which is that in v1.0 he himself went back in time to destroy the future of humanity, so we just have to wait and LOOK FORWARD TO Trump’s 2nd term!
roidman arnold used to make fun of a deaf guy because he couldnt hear the stupidity coming from roidman arnold’s ignorant pie hole. perhaps roidman should stick to do what he does best, having extra-marital affairs with the maids.
