Despite the unrelenting amount of political drama that grows more intense with each passing day, life is not a reality television show. But if it were, President Donald Trump would be fired, at least according to one of Trump's most vicious critics.

On Monday, Vicente Fox Quesada — the 74-year-old who served as Mexico's president from 2000 to 2006 — called out the president on Twitter, bashing his approval ratings and using his very own Apprentice catchphrase against him.

Fox's latest burn came after a March 16-18 Gallup poll of 1,500 U.S. adults was released, revealing Trump's shockingly low ratings. With an approval rating of 37% (down eight percent since March 11) and a disapproval rating of 58%, Fox shared graphic and then quoted his famous phrase against him.

"America, tell it like it is: Donald, you're fired!" Fox passionately wrote.

Now we all know Trump LOVES good ratings, and has never shied away from celebrating them or tearing down others — such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, who took his place as host of The Apprentice — for poor ones.

The former president of Mexico has been extremely vocal about his disapproval of Trump's politics in the past, most notably, through his angry tweets assuring Trump that Mexico will not be paying for his "fucking wall."

Until the next Twitter burn, please enjoy this GIF of Fox giving himself a round of applause.
