Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California and current critic of President Trump, has a message from one Republican former host of The Apprentice to another.

"Don't touch California. If you want to drill, do it off Mar-a-Lago," he tweeted, referring to Trump's resort in Palm Beach, Florida. "Or better yet, look to the future, follow California's lead and go green and we can all breathe easier. The U.S.'s largest economy is nearly 50 percent renewable. #ProtectThePacific." Schwarzenegger wasn't finished. "Our fishing, tourism, and recreation industries employ hundreds of thousands of great people," he said in a follow-up tweet. "Our coasts are an economic gold mine. Do not put them at risk."
