U.S. President Donald Trump disputed Arnold Schwarzenegger's announcement about quitting as host of the reality show "The Celebrity Apprentice," saying on Saturday that Schwarzenegger was leaving involuntarily after drawing few viewers.

Schwarzenegger had announced on Friday that he would not return for a second season of the NBC show. He blamed Trump, an executive producer and former host of the show, for low ratings, describing the president's involvement as "baggage."

Trump sees it differently.

"Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't voluntarily leaving the Apprentice, he was fired by his bad (pathetic) ratings, not by me," Trump wrote in a message on his personal Twitter account. "Sad end to great show."

1. Forget about

healthcare, the economy, everyone lying. The real story is protecting tRump's ego.

[cstanleytech]

2. The ratings might have tanked but not because Trump left but because he tainted it

after his true self was exposed and no one could have salvaged it from that.

[tblue37]

33. Plus the fact that he continued to get money from the show as a "producer." nt

[gopiscrap]

3. Fuck trump

he can't keep his nose out of things

[BumRushDaShow]

4. He's off the meds

They gave him a powerful dose that lasted him from Tuesday until yesterday. Now all hell is breaking loose.

[caroldansen]

5. Maybe now he' ll become a democrat. Yey, one more for our side!

[ToxMarz]

22. How about he just becomes Austrian again

Asta la vista BABY!

[eShirl]

6. People were boycotting the show because Trump was an exec. producer

[Botany]

7. ATTN Red Don

The Apprentice is a make believe T.V. show. However your working with Russia to
rig the elections is very real.

[Delphinus]

11. And

that is what needs to be repeated until the truth is found.

[Botany]

13. Our media did a piss poor job on covering Trump

He was a failed businessman who got bailed out by Putin, Russian $,
and Russian mobsters and then became the host of a fake TV show.

[Salviati]

17. Red Don... nice!

Hadn't seen that before.

[Botany]

31. I stole it from some DUer

But if you want to give me credit for it I'll take it.

[tblue37]

34. I like "Mafia Don" for him. nt

[milestogo]

8. Like we care either way.

[Bradical79]

39. Best case...

Maybe some Republican Schwartzenegger superfans care. Always nice to see some Republican infighting.

[Turbineguy]

9. Trump may not know shit about Presidenting,

but he is OK with reality TeeVee.

[yallerdawg]

10. Another example of the negotiating skills and deal-making...

of someone who never learned anything from the book he paid to have written about him!

He killed his own show!

As he blunders from one self-inflicted disaster after another, destroying his family fortune and legacy (such as it was), he reveals just what he really is - a narcissistic sociopath who tapped into the core stupidity of just enough voters to luck into a job he never thought he would have - and never prepared for - or grasped!

[orwell]

12. Schwarzenegger replies...

..."I'll be back!"

[Loryn]

14. Amazing

The smallness of this man.

[C Moon]

15. I don't like either one of them, so I could care less.

The whole Gray Davis package-of-lies-recall, shows me what kind of person Arnold is and who he works for.

[jmowreader]

16. "I quit!" "No, you're fired!"

This shit sounds like a 19-year-old kid getting removed from her job at McDonald's, not an interaction with the purported president of the United States.

[Kittycow]

19. I thought coming of age in the late '60s meant that I

have seen it all. .

[heaven05]

18. smoke and mirrors

trying to distract from the issue(s) at hand. That apprentice show has no relevance to the current investigation(s) against boy-potius puppet and his string pullers prezidents bannon and miller.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

20. Fuck both these massive creeps!

[Kingofalldems]

21. That's what his yeoman trolls were saying yesterday.

[hamsterjill]

23. I don't really even like Arnold, but

His video on gerrymandering was spot on! And...

I would love to see Arnold just knock the ever lovin' shit outta Donald.

[vkkv]

24. Nothing better to do than dis people

Our prez... great.

[gfwzig]

25. the "has been" was trying to ride the tRump train and fell off!

[oasis]

26. Commander in Chief takes on Arnold while generals handle ISIS.

[keithbvadu2]

29. The generals did not look happy when Trump blamed them for killing SEAL Chief Owens.

[oasis]

30. "They lost Ryan". Our military people got a slap in the face. nt

[C_U_L8R]

27. Trump: "nana-nana-poo-poo"

Good lord it's come to this

[NCjack]

28. The Donald has a shot at his old job. nt

[randr]

32. You might think that he may have learned by now

that everything he touches eventually turns to shit.

[Grammy23]

36. Are you kidding? LOL A 70 year old dyed in the wool

Narcissist like tRump is not about to gain any insight at this late date. He will delegate responsibility for any problems to "anyone but me". He doesn't mind throwing anyone under the bus, including the generals that he claims to revere and respect so much. If that is how he treats people he reveres and respects, I'd hate to see how he treats people he despises!

[red dog 1]

35. K&R

You tell 'em, Arnie!

(Arnold used to be the governor of "Caulifornia&quot

[Initech]

37. Donald wouldn't last 5 minutes on his own game show!

[Crash2Parties]

38. Is it wrong to feel glee when dishonest Republicans fight like this?

[JudyM]

40. Likely that AS has heard plenty of dirty laundry. I hope tRump gets him pissed enough to spill it.

[alarimer]

41. He needs an army of fact checkers.

There are simply too many lies for any one person to keep up with.
