Arnold Schwarzenegger appears on the cover of the upcoming issue of Mens Journal, due out March 3, discussing his environmental legacy as Governor of California but also, offering his bluntest comments yet about President Donald Trump. Heres how the story by Stephen Rodrick begins:
Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is nearly 70 years old, probably thought his next battle would be against some mutant menace in a dystopian summer tentpole film or an attempt to talk sense to some fool climate-change denier and not a public spat with the leader of the free world.
But as the whole world knows by now, thats precisely what happened following Schwarzeneggers debut as the new host of Celebrity Apprentice. When the ratings came in lower than those of his predecessor, Donald Trump, the then-president-elect struck out trumpily. Wow, the ratings are in, and Arnold Schwarzenegger got swamped (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT, Trump tweeted. 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.
At the mention of Trumps tweet, Schwarzenegger smiles that slightly dopey ski-instructor grin made famous in his less apocalyptic films like Twins and Kindergarten Cop. With a haughty laugh, he recalls what he said to himself upon hearing Trumps dis: Dont get into a stinking contest with a skunk.

(82,849 posts)But methinks this whole pseudo-feud is as staged as a pro wrestling script.

(9,696 posts)Perhaps the ratings have dropped NOT because of the new host, but because people are now repulsed at anything related to drumptf. Maybe people see how The Apprentice was nothing more than a re-branding tactic by drumptf and how it mis-lead millions of viewers to create a false impression about drumptf.
No one want's to by the crap ivanka is shilling either, thank you Nordstroms and Neimen Marcus.

Honest to God, I would sleep better if Schwarzenegger was President and Trump was still playing a billionaire on television.
And it's not easy for me to say that. I experienced Schwarzenegger as the governor of my state.
