Once upon a time, former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger and former POTUS Donald Trump were friends. However, over the years their friendship slowly turned sour. It hit rock bottom in 2021 when Arnold Schwarzenegger called Trump the “worst President ever.” The statement was a part of Schwarzenegger’s response to the 2021 Capitol riots. At the time, Arnie had blamed Trump for misleading people with his lies. Along with calling him the worst POTUS, Schwarzenegger had also called him a failed leader.
Years after the incident, now Arnold’s eldest son Patrick is left bewildered by Trump’s actions. Recently, a video is making rounds on the internet wherein the former POTUS could be heard making an unprofessional remark towards the anchor during a live interview. Earlier today, a perplexed Pat took to his Twitter handle to express himself.

On 11th May 2023, a Twitter user posted a clip from one of Trump’s most recent interviews with CNN. In the video, Trump called the anchor names when he couldn’t answer some questions. Despite the unprofessionalism, the audience laughed at the exchange. Pointing that out, the user tweeted, “Watch the crowd cheer as Donald Trump calls CNN anchor Kaitlin Collins a ‘nasty person’ when she badgers him about the classified documents.”

Expressing his bewilderment in the quote tweet, Pat wrote, “I wonder who at CNN was like… yeah this is a good idea..” Moreover, it is to be noted that this isn’t the first time, Patrick Schwarzenegger has publicly addressed an issue related to his dad’s former friend.
Calling out Donald Trump and his insensitive statement
Patrick Schwarzenegger has taken after his legendary father, not just in terms of acting but when it comes to criticizing Trump’s administration, too. Back in 2019, the state of California suffered from horrific wildfires. However, the ex-Governor’s son was disappointed after seeing how Trump and his team handled the situation.
Schwarzenegger Jr. had called out Trump’s inappropriate comment in which the former POTUS dubbed the adversity as a “costly forest fire.” Trump also blamed the “gross mismanagement” of the forests for the occurrence and threatened to withdraw financial support. Calming that Trump’s comments were uncalled for, the actor believed everyone was grieving the loss due to fire.
