Last month the president tweeted that Mr. Schwarzenegger had done a “bad job” as governor of California and was “even worse” on “The Apprentice.” At the National Prayer Breakfast, Mr. Trump told attendees, including Mr. Burnett, that “the ratings went right down the tubes. It’s been a total disaster.”Mr. Schwarzenegger fired back that as president Mr. Trump should be more concerned about unifying the country than about ratings for a TV show. An aging franchise, “Celebrity Apprentice” has suffered substantial declines in viewership over its past several editions. The show averaged 4.7 million viewers this season, down from about 9 million in 2011, according to Nielsen.
