While the news was controversial, it didn’t come as a surprise to Schwarzenegger, who knew Trump would remain on since the beginning.
During a press junket for The New Celebrity Apprentice (via Deadline), the topic of Donald Trump’s executive producer credit inevitably came up.
Schwarzenegger knows something about being a celebrity-politician hybrid, having gone on to be governor of California after a successful acting career, which would offer him a unique perspective on the whole situation.
Though Trump will have nothing to do with the actual production of the show, he will still be paid a salary of an undisclosed sum of money.
