Trump Just Ripped Schwarzenegger’s ‘Apprentice’ Ratings. Arnold’s Response Is Perfect

Our new President, Donald Trump, this morning attended the National Prayer Breakfast, meeting with religious leaders from a wide variety of creeds and sects. He chose to use this moment not to pray for the nation or make a humble petition to the heavens, asking for their blessing as he guides our nation through stormy seas.

Donald Trump, a man who has never been concerned with presenting anything beyond a shallow impersonation of a devout man, decided to publicly honor the one thing that means the most to him: the television ratings of the Celebrity Apprentice.

“It’s been a total disaster. We know how that turned out. The ratings went right down the tubes. It has been a disaster. I want to just pray for Arnold … for those ratings” said Trump in yet another exceptionally inappropriate excuse to feed his own narcissism and to demean a competitor.

The former governor of California quickly responded with this devastating video, asking if Trump, if he wanted to “switch jobs” since all he can do is talk about the Apprentice ratings.

A spokesperson for Schwarzenegger also responded with this statement:

Trump’s former television show was given to Arnold Schwarzenegger after the racist real estate mogul was fired from NBC for calling Mexicans “rapists and drug dealers” in his campaign announcement speech.

The President’s deplorable display of narcissism at what is meant to be a serene and contemplative moment proves once and for all that Trump only knows one god, and that god is Trump, expressed in the unholy trinity of Inauguration Attendance Numbers, Celebrity Apprentice Ratings, and the Electoral College Margin of Victory.

When The Donald crosses The Governator, heads might get smashed.

The long-standing social media feud between Arnold Schwarzenegger and President Donald Trump does not seem to be subsiding.

Following Trump’s call on the Almighty to help Schwarzenegger’s “Apprentice” ratings at last week’s National Prayer Breakfast, the actor and former governor of California retaliated on Instagram by asking to switch places with Trump so that Americans can “finally sleep comfortably again.”

But the admonishment didn’t stop there.

President Trump rips Schwarzenegger, 'FAKE NEWS media'

In an interview with Men’s Journal, Schwarzenegger, 69, said that following Trump’s first tweet storm against the new “Celebrity Apprentice,” he had to “sit on it for an hour.”

The Governator continued: “I called my assistant and said, ‘I think what we really should do is request a meeting and go back to New York. And then we just smash his face into the table.’”

At this point in the Men’s Journal interview, Schwarzenegger laughed and said, “And then I think we can’t do that, either. I think I have to be above all of that and put him on the spot.”

He ended up taking to social media to address the The Donald.

“There’s nothing more important than the people’s work. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you’ll work for all of the American people as aggressively as you worked for your ratings.”

The bad blood lingered far after the first tweet, though, with the Prayer Breakfast as a prime example of Trump’s lingering resentment.

In his early-January tweets, Trump called out Schwarzenegger for previously supporting John Kasich and Hillary Clinton during the campaign.

Since the first “shots” were fired, Schwarzenegger has continued to prod the new president. He ripped Trump’s decision to place a climate change denier at the head of the Environmental Protection Agency and called Trump’s executive order banning immigration from seven Muslim-majority nations “crazy.”

He told Extra TV that “It makes us (America) look stupid.”

“I think people really reacted well to that response,” Schwarzenegger told Men’s Journal. He indicated that it’s Trump who sounds like the impulsive action movie hero, not the “Predator” and “Terminator” star.

“I sound more presidential and more diplomatic and more elder statesman,” Schwarzenegger said. “That’s exactly the way Donald should be.”
