With less than three weeks to go until he takes office, one would be forgiven for thinking that Donald Trump would be swamped with various intelligence briefings and general plans for when he enters the White House.
The Donald will always have time for Twitter though. Especially when it involves slagging off his competitors.
Arnold Schwarzenegger replaced Trump as the host of the Celebrity Apprentice in the US and the series debuted on Sunday night to less than stellar ratings. They were a big drop from the previous season of the show which of course starred US President elect Trump.
Never one to miss an opportunity to lord it over his competitors, Trump took to Twitter to let people know that Schwarzenegger got "swamped" compared to him.
Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got "swamped" (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT. So much for....

Although his initial tweet might have made you think, it's a competitive thing, Trump's follow up makes it clear that tweets were more to do with the fact that Schwarzenegger supported Hillary Clinton during the election.
being a movie star-and that was season 1 compared to season 14. Now compare him to my season 1. But who cares, he supported Kasich & Hillary

It's good to know Trump has his eye on the ball in any case.
Schwarzenegger's response to Trump's tweets was all class, with the former Governor of California hoping that the President elect will work for the American people as aggressively as he did for his high television ratings.
There's nothing more important than the people's work, @realDonaldTrump. https://t.co/fYtAfFPMKF

I wish you the best of luck and I hope you'll work for ALL of the American people as aggressively as you worked for your ratings.

Please study this quote from Lincoln's inaugural, @realDonaldTrump. It inspired me every day I was Governor, and I hope it inspires you. pic.twitter.com/QRoOFTZfQ9
