Republican President-elect Donald Trump has somewhat gotten his pound of flesh after scornfully slamming celebrities who supported Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton at the last presidential election.
The very vocal President-elect lashed out at celebrities in a series of tweets expressing his dislike for the support ex-California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, gave the governor of Ohio State, John Kasich, during the Republican presidential nomination, which Kasich also contested.
Kasich
who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for president in 2000 and also in 2016, refused to support Republican presidential nominee Trump; but instead, he voted for Senator John McCain.

Describing himself as a “ratings machine,” Trump derided Schwarzenegger for failing to match the ratings he received when he was the host of “The Celebrity Apprentice.”
Trump said that Schwarzenegger “got ‘swamped’ (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine DJT.”
“DJT” stands for his full name, Donald John Trump.
Continuing, Trump tweeted thus; “Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got “swamped” (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT.”
Trump also tweeted days after the latest season of the series had aired saying: “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,” he derided the former Californian governor.
