Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger mocked Donald Trump , suggesting in a new interview that the president wont drop their yearslong beef because he actually wants to be me.

I think he really hes in love with me, the former governor of California told Mens Health in a piece published online Tuesday. Thats the reality of it. With Trump, he wants to be me.

Schwarzenegger replaced Trump as host of the Celebrity Apprentice in 2017 and the ratings promptly fell a fact the president has repeatedly reminded The Terminator star about. Schwarzenegger, meanwhile, has frequently criticized Trump and his administration particularly for its anti-environmental agenda .

Schwarzenegger said Trump used to respect him and recalled his earlier relationship with the then-businessman.

I remember that in the old days, when we went to the wrestling matches, the way he admired people with bodies, and the way they would jump around in the ring, and to perform physical stunts and stuff like that, he said. He had great admiration for that.
