Arnold Schwarzenegger awkwardly SHUTS DOWN question about Donald Trump
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER swerved a question about rival Donald Trump during an awkward exchange on Australian television today.
Arnold Schwarzenegger AVOIDS Donald Trump question
The Hollywood actor, 69, was live via video stream to speak about his role hosting the multi-sports festival, The Arnold Classic, and clearly wasn't in the mood to talk about his feud with the President of the United States.
Asked by Channel Ten's The Project co-host Gorgi Coghlan if he thought Trump would last the four years of his presidency, the former Governor of California was quick to shut her down - with a rather surreal response.
"The Arnold's Classic will be here for four years, yes. It will be here for much longer. I think for the next 400 years you will see Arnold Classic in Melbourne," he deflected.

Good try!
That's not to say Arnold didn't commend the journalists on their attempt, as he later quipped: "Good try!"
Arnold and Trump's long-going rivalry appeared to have been ignited by the actor's revelation that he would not vote for the American businessman in the presidential election.
The Terminator star - who served two terms as the Governor of California from 2003 to 2010 - said that he would take his vote elsewhere, despite having voted for the Republican candidate in every election since he became an American citizen in 1983.
And their fall-out only escalated at the end of last year when Arnold succeeded Trump on US edition of The Celebrity Apprentice.
Arnold later joked that the presenter's effort was a 'good try'
Taking a jab at Arnold in January, Trump mocked the show's poor ratings and posted several tweets about the reality series.
Arnold later revealed he was stepping down from the show because it came with too much "baggage".
He said earlier this month: "With Trump being involved in the show people have a bad taste and don't want to participate as a spectator or as a sponsor or in any other way to support the show."
