I am aware that Arnold has done very well for himself in business. But his difficulty in speaking, combined with his inability to connect like Trump, will doom the show. He does not have the showmanship that Trump does, except when he used to flex his muscles. I’ve seen his management at work in California government, and it was terrible.
He only has a difficulty speaking when he feels like it (the thickness of his accent varies drastically), and he’s got a long enough run in Hollywood to show he can clearly connect. And really the ratings of the show had been dropping pretty hard, bumped up some when they moved it to Mondays. Even up the show was only drawing 6 million viewers, it clearly needed a change even before they decided to dump Trump. Worst case scenario for NBC a show that was already on its last leg doesn’t improve.
Just because he couldn’t run CA doesn’t mean he can’t manage. Most of his businesses are successful, and his biggest failures are the ones where he had the least control. He’s at least as good a business man as Trump, and not nearly as fond of being an @#$hole.
