And the hits just keep on coming.<\/p>\n

Friday afternoon reports<\/a><\/strong> began circulating that Arnold Schwarzenegger would not be returning to Celebrity Apprentice for the next season. That by itself isn’t all that surprising. The program was not performing very well and it’s fate had not been determined. However, Schwarzenegger’s reasons were interesting.<\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a><\/strong> with the Empire website, the ex-terminator said:<\/p>\n

“With Trump being involved in the show people have a bad taste and don\u2019t want to participate as a spectator or as a sponsor or in any other way support the show. It\u2019s a very divisive period now and I think this show got caught up in all that division.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s true. The organized Trump boycotts have spread like wildfire across the country. It’s part of the reason that Ivanka’s fashion line was dropped at Nordstrom’s. And advertiser’s have been reluctant to associate themselves with the bigoted President who is neck-deep in scandal.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Schwarzenegger can’t be blamed for not wanting to work with Trump, who is still an executive producer of the show. After ratings came out earlier this year Trump tweeted:<\/p>\n

\n

Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got "swamped" (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT. So much for….<\/p>\n
