Arnold Schwarzenegger was quick to respond after President Donald Trump mocked him and the "Apprentice" ratings while speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday morning.
"Hey Donald, I have a great idea: Why don’t we switch jobs?" Schwarzenegger suggested in a video posted to Twitter. "You take over TV because you’re such an expert in ratings, and I take over your job, so then people can finally sleep comfortably again."
Schwarzenegger’s message was in response to Trump saying that when he ran for president "they hired a big, big movie star" to take his place on "The Apprentice."
"And we know how that turned out," he said also calling out producer Mark Burnett. "The ratings went right now the tubes, it’s been a total disaster. And Mark [Burnett] will never, ever bet against Trump again."
Trump said with a laugh, "I want to just pray for Arnold if we can — for those ratings."
This back and forth is the latest in an ongoing feud between the president and former California governor. In January Trump trashed Schwarzenegger after the show debuted with its new host. Schwarzenegger also endorsed Kasich during the primaries and later said he would "not vote for the Republican candidate" after Trump’s vulgar "Access Hollywood" tape was released.
