SACRAMENTO — Billionaire Donald Trump gave $10,000 (euro7,330) to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to help pay off his campaign debts, a little more than a month after the governor made a guest appearance on the real estate mogul's reality TV show "The Apprentice: Los Angeles," according to a campaign filing.

And to think I used to think El Salvador had the most corrupt government on the planet.

5. But $10K isn't that much $$$ to Ahnold...or to Donald, for that matter.

Arnold is a multi-millionaire. $10,000 doesn't mean the same thing to him as it does to the middle class.

So although Donald gave it to him, I don't know that that means that Ahnold did anything governmental for it, other than making an appearance on his show.

I don't see this as a really big deal. Is it an ethics thing?

6. It doesn't look good - but it benefits neither one substantially

Arnold has TONS of money, $10K is nothing.
Donald has around $5,000,000,000.00 (yes, nine zeroes)

8. My name is Ahnold Shwarzenegger

and I'm here to fuck you up.

10. $10,000 is a drop in these folks' collective buckets.
