Arnold Schwarzenegger is trying to flip the narrative of his ongoing ratings feud with President Donald Trump.
“Oh
Donald — the ratings are in, and you got swamped,” the actor and former
Governor of California said in a video posted to Twitter Tuesday
morning. “Wow. Now you’re in the thirties?”
The video comes on the heels of the latest gallup polls
which put Trump’s approval rating at just 37% — a new low since he took
office two months ago. Trump and Schwarzenegger have argued over social
media in the past. The “Terminator” actor took over for Trump on “The
Apprentice,” which subsequently tanked in the ratings. Trump
has publicly shamed Schwarzenegger for the show’s ratings failure, while
the new host has called out the president’s continued involvement as an executive producer on the show as a reason why audiences may have tuned out.
“But
what do you expect?” Schwarzenegger asked in the video. “I mean when
you take away after school programs for children and meals on wheels for
the poor people, that’s not what you call ‘making America great again.’
Come on.”
He
added, “I mean, who is advising you? Let me give you some advice: go to
a middle school — the Hart Middle School, right in Washington, six
miles away from the White House.”
Finally,
Schwarzenegger concluded with an offer: “I’ll take you there, so you
can see the fantastic work that they’re doing for these children. Let’s
do it, huh?”
The president, who is typically not shy on Twitter, has yet to respond.
