Schwarzenegger's rollout as the replacement for President Trump on Celebrity Apprentice was complicated by Trump's continued involvement in the show as an executive producer; when initial ratings slumped, Trump took a shot at his replacement. "So much for him being a movie star-and that was season 1 compared to season 14," Trump said on Twitter. In February, Trump used part of his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast to ask for prayers for Schwarzenegger. “We had tremendous success on The Apprentice and, when I ran for president, I had to leave the show,” Trump said. Schwarzenegger's decision to leave the show comes amid questions about whether Apprentice will return--with or without him.
