All this, of course, seems to stem from Arnold’s hatred of Trump. The two used to be friends, but the comedian has made it his mission throughout the previous two decades to deliver a stop to Trump’so presidency by evidence of his unsuitableness. Arnold claims to have observed that the N-word tape, which he claims finds out the POTUS calling his son, Eric, the r-word. “There’s two individuals who have not ever called me a liar about the N-word tape,” Arnold stated during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! . “Donald Trump and Mark Burnett, since they understand it’s accurate. ”
“I’m definitely going to do so until he resigns,” Arnold added. “He is a person that is crazy. He is currently putting this country on the precipice of war. For some reasonI am able to get something, and it’s currently functioning. And I am going to do this until that guy resigns and the world will be easier. It’s going to occur. ”
