Arnold Schwarzenegger took time out of his tour of Australia to playfully criticise US president Donald Trump over his slumping approval ratings after two months in office.
Like many great celebrity feuds, the ongoing spat between Trump, former host of The Apprentice, and has persisted long after its prescribed expiration date (much like the TV series each man hosted).

In the latest exchange between the two celebrities-turned-politicians, Arnold Schwarzenegger mocks Donald Trump over his slumping approval rating.
In a video tweet posted early on Tuesday morning, the former host of The New Celebrity Apprentice Schwarzenegger mocked Trump's low numbers while taking a shot at his budget blueprint.
"What do you expect when you take away after-school programs for children and Meals on Wheels for the poor people?" Schwarzenegger said. "That's not what you call 'making America great again.'"

Schwarzenegger went on to ask Trump, "Who's advising you?" and suggested he visit a local DC middle school. He even offered to accompany the president.

Schwarzenegger, who is in Australia for his multi-sport, fitness extravaganza the Arnold Classic Australia Tour, has made appearances in Melbourne and Sydney.
The war of words between Trump and Schwarzenegger has been waging for months, sparked in October when the former Republican governor of California announced he would not be voting for Trump for president.
In January, two weeks before he took office, Trump took aim at the reduced ratings for Schwarzenegger's "Apprentice," following up on his criticisms in February at the National Prayer Breakfast where he stated, "I want to just pray for Arnold, if we can, for those ratings, OK?"
Schwarzenegger often made time to respond to the president's criticisms and blamed Trump's baggage for his decision to leave "The Apprentice" earlier this month.
