Trump: ‘I Want to Just Pray’ for Schwazenegger, Who’s Failing Hosting ‘The Apprentice’

‘I just want us to pray for Arnold’
By Grabien Staff

Picking up on comments from MGM producer Mark Burnett -- who created The Apprentice -- at this morning's National Prayer Breakfast about the provenance of the show, Trump joked that perhaps they should say a prayer for Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose suffered a ratings drop since taking over the show. 

Here's an excerpt: 

"When I ran for president, I had to leave the show. That's when I knew for sure I was doing it. And they hired a big, big movie star, Arnold Schwarzenegger to take my place. And we know how that turned out. The ratings went right down the tubes. It's been a total disaster and Mark will never, ever bet against Trump again. And I want to just pray for Arnold if we can, for those ratings, OK?" (Laughter) 

Schwarzenegger has since responded -- proposing that they switch jobs -- so that "people can finally sleep comfortably again."
