Seven-time Mr. Olympia, Arnold Schwarzenegger, proved his dominance in the bodybuilding world multiple times. Apart from bodybuilding, the muscle man also displayed his talent in acting. He produced several blockbusters that rocked the box office.
Switching his career once again, Arnold stepped into the political world in 2003. Although he took retirement from the position of governor in 2011, he wasn’t any far from politics. The world often saw Arnold Schwarzenegger having disputes with Donald Trump, who became the President of the US in 2017. In an interview, the former bodybuilder opened up about his fight with the then-president.

Back in 2017, the interviewee asked the actor about the never-ending feuds with Trump. Arnold came up with a diplomatic answer to the question.
“With Trump, it was just, if he talks about my rating, then it was natural for me to talk about his rating. It was nothing to do with my history or anything like this,” said Mr. Olympia. “It’s just that, hey, wait a minute, he shouldn’t be throwing stones if you live in a glass house.”
Starting from TV ratings to having coal-related energy policies, they were always on the opposite team.
Arnold vs Donald: The celebrity tussle
Arnold hosted the TV show called “The Celebrity Apprentice” in 2017, while Donald did the same in 2015. Arnold’s season-finale ratings for the TV show were way lower than Donald’s.
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 (@Schwarzenegger) January 6, 2017

As soon as Donald realized the drop in ratings, he posted a tweet mentioning the same. The bodybuilder replied to the tweet, saying that for him people’s work is way more important than just mere ratings. It doesn’t end here. The former President included this in his speech during an event and joked that he would pray for Arnold and the ratings.
“The ratings went down the tubes. It’s been a total disaster. And Mark will never, ever bet against Trump again,” said Donald Trump. “And I want to just pray for Arnold, if we can, for those ratings.“
