Of course, telling Trump to back up his claims with facts isn’t exactly hitting him where it hurts. But as their little back-and-forth continues, Schwarzenegger is now armed with the only metrics that matter to the sentient clementine: ratings.
Schwarzenegger posted a video to Twitter wherein he derided the president’s not so swell (or swole) approval rating, following his recently announced plans to deprive kids of school lunches and art. The once-and-future Expendable practically cackles over the fact that Trump’s popularity could use some pumping up, but he also seems to realize that there’s a lot at stake. So, instead of proposing a foot race or arm-wrestling contest, Schwarzenegger asks Trump to meet him at a D.C.-area middle school, where he can witness firsthand the good the funds he’s prepared to cut do. Trump hasn’t answered Schwarzenegger’s volley, presumably because he’s too busy campaigning again.
