Schwarzenegger Trolls Trump with New Video
by EG
Arnold Schwarzenegger, ex-host of Celebrity Apprentice, took a shot a Donald Trump this week with a Twitter video that mocks the President's low approval ratings. The video echoes Trump's own tweets about the low ratings of the NBC series that he himself once hosted.
"Oh, Donald, the ratings are in, and you got swamped," Schwarzenegger says in the video, referring to a Gallup Poll that shows only 37 percent of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing as President.
Hey, @realDonaldTrump, I have some advice. See you at Hart Middle School? Here's more info about #afterschool: https://t.co/NOgdhBHyyp pic.twitter.com/NQI2OdVqtF

Arnold, though, used the video to make a political point, putting in a plug for an after-school program at a Washington-area middle school. Trump's recently proposed budget would drastically cut federal funding for after-school and other programs designed to help disadvantaged children.
The opportunity for mockery comes from Trump's past tweets in which he insulted Schwarzenegger and the producers of Celebrity Apprentice, boasting that the show's falling ratings were much lower than those he enjoyed during his stint at the series' helm.
