Donald Trump Slams ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Host Arnold Schwarzenegger For Ratings: How Did The Governor Respond?
Donald Trump went off on the new host of Celebrity Apprentice, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for the ratings being so low during the season premiere. How did the governor respond to the president-elect’s taunts?
Donald Trump has turned on his replacement host for Celebrity Apprentice, according to Fox News. The president-elect tweeted that Schwarzenegger’s version of Celebrity Apprentice is nothing compared to his run as the show’s host, even referring to himself as a “ratings machine.”
“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.”
Donald Trump’s stab at Schwarzenegger comes just days after the premiere of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice on Saturday night. Donald Trump is still an executive producer on the show.

Schwarzenegger is a moderate Republican who said back in October that he would not be voting for Donald Trump. The former governor called it a choice of “your country over your party.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger responded with a tweet on Friday.
“There’s nothing more important that the people’s work, @realDonaldTrump.
The Celebrity Apprentice host seemed to be telling Trump to focus on getting ready for his new job as the president of the United States instead of television ratings.
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.

Arnold then pinned a tweet from last November, the day after the presidential election, where he spoke about the same Lincoln speech.

Back when it was announced that Donald Trump would remain a producer on Celebrity Apprentice, Trump tweeted that he would have “NOTHING to do with The Apprentice except for the fact that I conceived it with Mark B & have a big stake in it. Will devote ZERO TIME!”

As well as calling out Schwarzenegger, President-elect Donald Trump shared a long list of grievances on Twitter by 8 a.m. on Friday.
Trump claimed that his border wall will be paid for by Mexico — eventually. He says that U.S. taxpayers would pay for the initial construction of the “Great Wall,” but that Mexico would later be forced to refund the United States.
He also said that his supporters have an unmatched “passion,” unlike those for Hillary Clinton. He also urged people to come out for the inauguration, which he said would be a “great show.”
Hillary and the Dems were never going to beat the PASSION of my voters. They saw what was happening in the last two weeks before the……

Donald Trump will also be receiving a highly anticipated briefing on the subject of Russian intervention into the U.S. election on Friday. This is an issue that has disturbed politicians on both sides because it pertains to sensitive national security breaches, according to the Washington Post.
The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later!
