Trump Ends Week With Arnold Rally Jab - A Big, Bad, But Kind of Funny Beef
This week, things got real spicy between Donald Trump and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It all started with the "Celebrity Apprentice" ratings, which, let's be honest, have been pretty rough. Trump, ever the ratings-obsessed reality TV star, took to Twitter to trash the show, throwing shade at Arnold for tanking the numbers. "Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got swamped (or should I say Governator?) by that great guy, Donald J. Trump!," he tweeted.
Arnold: "You're a Bad Example"
Now, Arnold's not one to just sit back and take a jab. He fired back with a video message for his former "Apprentice" co-star, saying, "Trump, you're a bad example of the leader of the free world. I'm not sure you even know what the job is. You’re a reality show host who gets to say whatever you want, and then you get to go back to your big beautiful house." Ouch.
Is This Just Reality TV Drama?
The whole thing definitely feels like a reality TV feud, and maybe that's what it is. Trump and Arnold have history, both in the world of reality TV and, of course, with their shared experience on "The Apprentice." But, it’s hard not to see this as a bit of a metaphor for the current political climate. It's like a battle between two different visions of America: the tough-talking, no-holds-barred, "let's make America great again" approach versus a more diplomatic, “we’re all in this together” kind of vibe.
The Bottom Line
It's fun to watch this whole thing unfold, and it's definitely a good reminder that even in a world of politics, there's still room for a little bit of reality show drama. It's also a reminder that Trump loves a good ratings battle, especially when it comes to TV shows he used to be a part of. Who knows, maybe this whole thing will even boost the "Apprentice" ratings – you know, just like he wanted. But one thing's for sure, this feud is definitely getting people talking.
