Some day there is going to be a man sitting in my present chair who has not been raised in the military services and who will have little understanding of where slashes in their estimates can be made with little or no damage. If that should happen while we still have the state of tension that now exists in the world, I shudder to think of what could happen in this country.

I am the wealthiest man, not just in Europe, but in the whole world. I collect emotions. I am wealthy in that the people of Russia have twice entrusted me with the leadership of a great nation such as Russia - I believe that is my greatest wealth.

So, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again!

I must, in candor, say I do not think myself fit for the Presidency.

It's a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you are trying to lead-and find no one there.

They say President Wilson has blundered. Perhaps he has, but I notice he usually blunders forward.
