Arnold Schwarzenegger seems to enjoy his new role as a politician. The former Governor of California, who is equally famous for his action movies, has released a series of videos where he has addressed issues such as climate change. Recently, Schwarzenegger posted a viral video where he suggested to US President Donald Trump that they swap roles after the latter poked fun at his TRPs for the Celebrity Apprentice.
But on Valentine’s Day, Arnie released a video on gerrymandering i.e. manipulating the boundaries of (an electoral constituency) so as to favour one party or class. Accusing the US Congress of gerrymandering, Schwarzenegger listed things that were more popular than the US Congress. The list included traffic jams and herpes, so one can actually imagine the Congress’ popularity.
Watch the video here.
Nickelback, the Canadian rock band, who Schwarzenegger mentioned in the video, didn't take too kindly to the actor's remarks on their popularity and replied with a savage tweet.
.@Schwarzenegger big fans. Approval rate this: Batman & Robin. Please leave us out of your future wisdom drops. Danke Shön Herr Governator.

Now, this is a Twitter battle that could rival Piers Morgan and JK Rowling's.
