Sigmund Freud would have been in a better position to explain this. But let me give it a shot.

Hollywood hunk Arnold Schwarzenegger succeeded Donald Trump (now US President, in case anyone doesn’t know) as the host of Celebrity Apprentice. This didn’t go down well with Donald T because he felt that his daughter, Ivanka, was overlooked for the part (though Arnold S himself parted ways with the show in no time).

The Twitter feud between Donald T and the former Mr Universe has been going on for quite some time and has gained momentum in recent times. The US President, in particular, leaves no stone unturned in having a go at the Terminator star. Finally, Arnold S has come out with his own take on the whole situation. He thinks the US President is in love with him. He hasn’t expanded on this, but let me tell you: the obsessive way with which Donald T talks about him is the hallmark of a jilted lover.
