Schwarzenegger was referring to a recent Gallup poll which found only 37 percent of Americans approve of the job the president is doing, while 58 percent disapprove.

Reviving a battle that has raged on and off for months on Twitter, Schwarzenegger needled the president about his budget proposal to slash funding for after school programs. The former governor adds: "That's not what you call Making America Great Again. Come on, who's advising you?"

I'm sure Trump will point out, continuing this unseemly dick-off between two utter creeps!

Whatever Arnold is or isn't he's not a hater like Trump. Trump's hate is what makes him uniquely loathsome.

His "girly man" style of governance was exactly the same. Horrible governor. Lifetime of abuse towards women. He went back to LA, every night as Governor. The illegal cigar porch at the Capitol. Ken Lay an dc the billions of dollars in awards.
Fuck that fuck.

I don't remember him demonizing Muslims or Mexican or denigrating African Americans or saying his political opponents should be locked up or roughed up.
