According to reports from the Variety, The New Celebrity Apprentice opened with just 4.93 million viewers, which is down more than 43% from the last premiere in 2015.
And Donald Trump was less than impressed with this as he called out the veteran actor on Twitter. The Terminator star did not keep quiet and replied to one of his tweets: ‘there is nothing as important as the people’s work.’
The first episode premiered on the first of the year with a changed catch phrase, a new host but with still the same executive producer – Trump.
