Similar to every American president since 1945, Donald Trump also went through the approval ratings during his tenure. However, eight weeks into his time in the presidential office, he suffered a major blow when only 37% of the Americans approved of his work. As per reports, it was the lowest rating for any president at such an early stage of their tenure as the president.

Going back to the early days of Trump’s reign as president, one can recall him emphasizing on redacting measures that were concerned with providing after-school programs for children and food for the poor. Even though a handful section of society praised the Republican representative, that wasn’t the case with Schwarzenegger. Going ahead in the message, he said, “But what do you expect? I mean when you take away after-school programs for children and Meals on Wheels for the poor people, that’s not what you call ‘making America great again.’ Come on!”

Schwarzenegger had already called out Trump for his low approval rating. However, that didn’t stop him from taking a further dig at him and his council. Going further into his message, he said, “Who is advising you? Let me give you some advice.” “Go to a middle school. The Hart Middle School. Right in Washington. Six miles away from the white house. I’ll take you there, so you can see the fantastic work that they’re doing for these children.”.
