US president Donald Trump on his twitter account, who has routinely trashed former California governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s hosting of the TV show, ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’, finds time even as President of the United States to put down the Terminator star every chance he gets.
President Trump has now trolled Arnold Schwarzenegger even after the actor decided to quit the show.
Lambasting the erstwhile host of the TV show and fellow Republican, Trump said Schwarzenegger was not voluntarily leaving The Celebrity Apprentice reality show but was fired for his “bad (pathetic) ratings”. Donald Trump ended the tweet by saying ‘Sad end to great show’.
Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't voluntarily leaving the Apprentice, he was fired by his bad (pathetic) ratings, not by me. Sad end to great show

Trump has been criticising Schwarzenegger for the fall in ratings of The Celebrity Apprentice after he took over, and has blamed the actor of for destroying the ratings.
The season finale of Celebrity Apprentice, hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger, had a viewership of 3.45 million, a drop from the 6.1 million who viewed the show in 2015, when it was hosted by Donald Trump.
The True Lies actor said Trump’s criticism had prompted him to quit.
After the last time Trump mocked him on Twitter for a poor rating of the show, Schwarzenegger had paid him back in his own coin. He said, “You take over TV, because you are such an expert in ratings and I take over your job. And then people can finally sleep comfortably again. Hmm?”
The President in January had not only mocked Schwarzenegger’s presentation of the show, on Twitter, but also his support of Trump’s political rivals.
Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got "swamped" (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT. So much for....

being a movie star-and that was season 1 compared to season 14. Now compare him to my season 1. But who cares, he supported Kasich & Hillary

Arnold replied to Trump’s tweets and said, “I wish you the best of luck andI hope you’ll work for ALL of the American people as aggressively as you worked for your ratings”.

The former California governor and President Donald Trump’s online feud has been going on since the two had a fallout in 2016 when Schwarzenegger announced he would vote for his friend then Ohio Governor John Kasich instead of Trump in the Republican party nomination for the presidential election.
After Trump won the US elections, Schwarzenegger had maintained that he would remain an executive producer on The Celebrity Apprentice, along with Donald Trump.
