The bodybuilder-cum-actor-cum-Republican retired from politics after serving twice as the Governor of California. He doesn’t mind casting comments or criticism at his party counterparts if needed. This is regarding the feud between the former hosts of “Celebrity Apprentice” Arnold and the ex-President, Donald Trump.
Arnold Schwarzenegger had a plan for Trump
Arnold and Trump knew each other casually for more than a decade. During Trump’s Presidential tenure, the executive order banning the entry of immigrants to the U.S. agitated Arnold. “I was in that position,” The Austrian Oak said. “It’s crazy and makes us look stupid when the White House is ill-prepared to put this kind of executive order out there.”
Also, the “Governator” announced that he wouldn’t vote for Trump and instructed other Republicans to “choose your country over your party.”
The legend already had a long history of the feud with Trump. Once he came up with a peculiar thought to express his annoyance. “I called my assistant and said, ‘I think what we really should do is request a meeting and go back to New York.’ ” He pauses for a while. “ ’And then we just smash his face into the table.’ ” referring to Trump.
A brief of the duo’s Twitter war
Arnold always received Trump’s administration with sharp criticism. The opinion on banning immigrants was followed by a war of words between the two. Trump tried to taunt the actor-turned-host for the poor ratings the show, “Celebrity Apprentice” suffered after he left. The then President boasted of himself as the “rating machine.”
