Arnold revealed, “In private he was always very nice,” he began. “The last private conversation I had with him was when he called to ask me for my endorsement when he ran for president and I declined."
Schwarzenegger admitted his relationship with Trump took a turn from that point on, especially on social media.
"Since then, everything that he says about me, not to me, is on Twitter, which sucks. So, I think he was always kind of nice in private, but in public I think he’s very mean spirited.”

Despite the positive experience, Arnold revealed he won't do it again because of Trump's association to the show.

In terms of his political views, Schwarzenegger called both Trump and Joe Biden, "flawed." Arnold feels like it might be time to take a completely different course of action from a political standpoint.
Arnold tells Axios, "I'm a big believer in new blood and a new generation. But if that's what it needs, if that's what this country needs, to have that kind of a showdown again and to finally find out, you know, that Biden is, you know, the legitimate president, then so be it."
He continues, "The bottom line is, I think we need to find new leaders. To me they're both flawed and I just think we're at a time now where we need someone strong, where we need visionaries, and not people that tinker around with little Mickey Mouse stuff."
Without a doubt, Arnold won't be endorsing Trump for his next run.
