Tom Arnold has claimed he has unreleased outtakes of Donald Trump using “racist” and “offensive” language on The Apprentice.

The American comedian, who rose to prominence for starring alongside Arnold Swarzenegger in True Lies, claimed the tapes show the President-elect using crude language and calling his son a “retard”. He said hundreds of people had watched the footage.

“I have the outtakes to The Apprentice where he says every bad thing ever, every dirty, every offensive, racist thing ever,” Arnold said on Dori Monson's Kiro radio show.

“[When] the people sent it to me, it was funny. Hundreds of people have seen these. It was sort of a Christmas video they put together. He wasn’t going to be President of the United States.”

“It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word, saying the C-word, calling his son a retard, just being so mean to his own children.”

Arnold said he has known the billionaire property developer for around 30 years, saying he knew "so much" about him.

The comedian said he did not believe the tapes would have put Trump supporters off him if they had been released before the election.

“I think if the people that like him saw him saying the N-word, he’s sitting matter-of-factly in front of there has to be 30 people there, and he’s matter-of-factly saying all of this stuff. So I think they would have liked him more, the people. For being politically incorrect.”

A representative for Mr Trump did not immediately respond to request for comment.
