In a move that has set social media ablaze, Hollywood icon and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has delivered a masterclass in political trolling, targeting current Governor Gavin Newsom with his signature wit.
The Terminator star shared a playful jab at Newsom's leadership style, reigniting their long-running friendly rivalry. Schwarzenegger's post quickly went viral, amassing thousands of likes and shares within hours.
The Social Media Showdown
Schwarzenegger, known for his charismatic social media presence, posted a cleverly edited image that juxtaposed his own gubernatorial achievements with Newsom's current policies. The 76-year-old action star accompanied the visual with his trademark humour, writing: "Some governors terminate problems... others just talk about them."
Political History Repeats Itself
This isn't the first time the two political figures have engaged in public banter. Schwarzenegger, who served as California's governor from 2003 to 2011, has frequently commented on his successor's policies with a mix of humour and constructive criticism.
Political analysts suggest this latest exchange highlights the growing trend of politicians using social media to connect with voters through humour and relatability.
Public Reaction
The online response has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans praising Schwarzenegger's lighthearted approach to political discourse. Many have noted how the exchange demonstrates that political disagreements don't always have to be hostile.
As the post continues to circulate, political commentators are watching closely to see if Newsom will respond with his own witty comeback, potentially escalating this entertaining battle of political wits.
