Arnold Schwarzenegger provided former President Donald Trump with some unsolicited weight loss advice.
Schwarzenegger, the former governor of California, appeared on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday night and discussed being a member of the traditional Republican Party, according to The Hill. Kimmel noted Schwarzenegger was an expert on the “male physique” and “body building,” before asking him what he thought Trump weighed.
“I don’t really know how much he weighs,” Schwarzenegger admitted to Kimmel. “I can tell you one thing, if he would ask me what should you do for fitness, I would just say run around your cell three times. You’re going to be in great shape.”

When Trump turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia in August, his weight was reportedly recorded at 215 pounds.
“Do you think it is possible that he weighs 215 pounds?” Kimmel asked.
Schwarzenegger joked that it was possible that the former president weighed 215 pounds “as much as it is possible that there is no climate change, and as much as it is possible that we don’t really need to reduce pollution.”
“Look, 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,” Schwarzenegger said. “He does not look like he weighs 215, I mean it’s a little bit more like 315.”
Trump is facing four indictments related to his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
A Georgia grand jury indicted Trump for a fourth time, along with 18 other defendants on Aug. 14 related to their efforts to overturn the election results. Trump faces 11 counts, including violating the Georgia RICO Act-the Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations Act; Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer; Conspiracy to Commit Impersonating a Public Officer; Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree; Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings; Conspiracy to Commit Filing False Documents; Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree; Filing False Documents; and Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer.
Trump was indicted by a federal grand jury at the beginning of August on four charges relating to conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiring against rights.
At the beginning of June, Trump was indicted for a second time on seven counts relating to his handling of classified documents.
In March, Trump became the first current or even former president to be indicted after a Manhattan grand jury issued an indictment, according to ABC News.
In total, Trump faces a total of 712.5 years in prison if found guilty of all 91 counts in each of the four indictments.
