The “let’s battle Islamic terrorists” candidate is getting cuter by the minute. Now he’s saying,
“Let’s adopt the American political system! Let’s abolish the Congress, remove the cabinet, give all of the power – 100% of it – to the president to rule as he wishes. This works for the US! Why wouldn’t it work here?”
The guy doesn’t stand half a chance but the comic relief he offers is welcome at this tense time.
I think it’s also important to remind everybody that, unlike in the US, where only two extremely wealthy parties get to put on an elaborate show for over a year and nobody else is given a real chance to run, in Ukraine every candidate gets a limited opportunity to speak by law. And if these candidates don’t sound very brilliant, I also want to remind you that you actually elected George W. Bush. Twice.
Now that we have all remembered that enormous collective embarrassment, prepare for more funny stories.
