Hasta la vista, Donald! Trump owned by Arnold Schwarzenegger in epic slap down
In one of the great slap downs of all time, Donald Trump has been spectacularly owned by Arnold Schwarzenegger after the US president questioned the governator’s ratings on the Apprentice.
The film star and one-time California governor, who took over the reality show from Trump, hit back after Trump used a National Prayer Breakfast to ask people to “pray” for Schwarzenegger’s low ratings.

But Trump wasn’t letting it lie, and put aside slightly more pressing matters to have another shot at the Terminator.
Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger did a really bad job as Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice…but at least he tried hard!

What Trump was doing using a National Prayer Breakfast event to talk about TV ratings is another matter. But what event does the president NOT use as an excuse to talk about himself?
It’s not the first time the pair have clashed after Trump had a go at the Apprentice ratings in January.
Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got "swamped" (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT. 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

Cue another video response from Schwarzenegger.
Please study this quote from Lincoln's inaugural, @realDonaldTrump. It inspired me every day I was Governor, and I hope it inspires you. pic.twitter.com/QRoOFTZfQ9
