Arnold Schwarzenegger says reports he wants to fight President Trump are 'fake news'
Arnold Schwarzenegger has dismissed reports he wants to violently attack U.S. President Donald Trump.
The actor turned politician, 69, who earlier this year replaced Trump, 70, as the host of U.S. reality TV series The Celebrity Apprentice, has been feuding with America’s leader on social media.
And in an interview with U.S. magazine Men’s Journal the Terminator star said he would request a clear-the-air meeting with the President and then “smash his face into the table”.
Schwarzenegger has now clarified his comments, saying that despite his differences with Trump, he was joking when he indicated he thought about resorting to violence.
“Writers want to create sensationalistic (sic) things and blow things up,” Schwarzenegger, told Variety, dubbing reports that left out the fact he was clearly joking, “fake news”.
The term “fake news”, which was initially used to describe fraudulent news articles promoted on social media, has become a favourite of Trump’s, who uses it to denounce news organizations who publish reports he disagrees with.
