The world is so fortunate that that man did not become the president of our country.

one advantage of having a war monger for President. How do you say in Russian, "hell no I'm not going into Crimea, you know that right wing nut job would love an excuse to start a war. I can't believe he invaded the Bahamas two weeks after taking office."
