DONALD Trump has promised to PRAY for Arnold Schwarzenegger as the feud between The Apprentice adversaries heated up.

Taking a dig at the success of his replacement on the hit business reality show, Trump joked: "I want to just pray for Arnold, if we can for those ratings, okay?"

President Trump took the swipe at his fellow Republican Arnie at a prayer group meeting.

But the former Mr Universe and Hollywood star quickly hit back in a Facebook post.

He said: "Hey Donald, I have a great idea.

"Why don't we switch jobs? You take over TV, because you're such an expert in ratings, and I take over your job.

"Then people can finally sleep comfortably again."

It is not the first time Trump has taken on The Terminator star.

A few weeks before being sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, Trump took to Twitter to mock his Apprentice successor.

In a pair of early morning tweets, Trump ripped into the actor-turned-politician, ridiculing viewing figures for the season premiere - and calling himself a "ratings machine" by comparison.

He said: "Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got swamped by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT.

"So much for 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."

Schwarzenegger, a former California governor, was among the Republican figures who refused to back Trump's bid for the presidency.

This week he slammed Trump over his 'Muslim ban' policy that stops people from seven different nations from travelling to the US.

Yet despite their war of words, Trump remains an executive producer on Arnie's version of The Apprentice.
