Arnold Schwarzenegger offered Donald Trump some sage advice Thursday about his determination to “rescue the coal industry,” while simultaneously mocking the POTUS’ archaic ideas.

“I know you really want to be an action hero, right?” Schwarzenegger asked a Trump bobblehead in a video posted by Attn. He went on to question why the current administration attempts to rescue the coal industry, an energy source from the past which “is a threaten to future generations.”

“It is foolish to bring back laughable, outdated technology to suit your political agenda,” the “Governator” said. “I mean, what are you going to bring back next? Floppy disks? Fax machines? Beanie Babies? Beepers? Or Blockbuster?”

Schwarzenegger went on to say he gets why Trump wants to turn back the clock. “I mean, the ’80s were very good to both of us, right? But now you’re President of the United States, so it’s time to start looking to the future, instead of the past.”

President Trump was once the former California governor’s friend and political donor. But after Trump named the “Terminator” star as his replacement on “The Apprentice” (which was canceled shortly thereafter) but didn’t, in turn, get his endorsement in the presidential race, their friendship went downhill fast.

Watch the video below for Schwarzenegger’s advice to Trump on how to keep the coal miners employed.

Trump vs Schwarzenegger: 9 Moments in History of Friends Turned Rivals (Photos)

Here's a look back at the long and complicated history between the two celebrities-turned-politicians.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Donald Trump were buddy-buddy at first, seen joking around at the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York, according to a 2016 Politico article. At Trump's request, Schwarzenegger even moved his entourage from the Mandarin Hotel to one of Trump's hotels, which irked Schwarzenegger's wife, Maria Shriver.

Schwarzenegger had a guest appearance on an episode of "The Apprentice: Los Angeles" in 2007, when he was governor of California. He invited contestants into his private conference room in Sacramento. Back then, Trump described the Governator as a "great friend."

Apparently he was such a great friend that a month later, Trump donated $10,000 to Schwarzenegger to help pay off debts from his 2006 re-election campaign. The donation got Schwarzenegger in hot water, as political watchdogs saw it as him using his celebrity status to solve his political problems.

In September 2015, NBC named Schwarzenegger to take over as host of "Celebrity Apprentice" following Trump's entrance into the the presidential race -- and after the candidate's statements about Mexicans prompted NBC Universal to cut its business ties with real estate mogul.

During Trump's presidential campaign, Schwarzenegger would not provide the same support, instead endorsing Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the Republican primary.

Even after Trump won the GOP nomination, Schwarzenegger took to social media to he would not vote for Trump...whom he would not refer to by name. "It's not only acceptable to choose your country over your party -- it is your duty," he said.
Trump struck back a few weeks before his inauguration in January 2017, mocking the low ratings Schwarzenegger was getting as host of "Celebrity Apprentice" while referring to himself as a "ratings machine." Trump had made similar taunts at Martha Stewart when she hosted her version of the reality show back in 2005.
NBC
Schwarzenegger responded by wishing Trump luck and saying that he hoped "you'll work for ALL of the American people as aggressively as you worked for your ratings."
NBC
In February 2017, President Trump mocked Schwarzenegger for his "Celebrity Apprentice" ratings at the ordinarily serious National Prayer Breakfast, calling on the crowd to "pray for Arnold."

In response, Schwarzenegger suggested in a Facebook video that he and Trump switch jobs: "You take over TV, because you're such an expert in ratings. And I take over your job. And then people can finally sleep comfortably again."
